DIVINE GUIDANCE
TEXT: PSALM 37:3-7
INTRODUCTION: We rounded up the study of the book of Galatians last Tuesday. Today, we are starting a new series with the theme: DIVINE GUIDANCE, and it will run till the end of the month.
It is still early in the year; and the sure way to start is to seek divine guidance. Psalm 25:12 says: What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall He teach in the way that he shall choose. Therefore, divine guidance helps us to fulfil destiny. In this year 2024, we shall all fulfil destiny in Jesus name,
Amen!
OUTLINE A: AVENUES FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE
There are several ways through which God can guide those that put their trust in Him.
1. Through the Word of God.
The Lord spoke clearly to Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Samuel, etc. Aside the word of mouth; the Bible represents the Word of God. Numbers 12:4-5, 1 Sam 3:21, Matthew 3:17 & Hebrews 4:12.
2. Through the witness of the Spirit.
The Spirit witnessed through prophet Agabus about Paul’s arrest in Jerusalem. The witness can also be through God’s peace of mind that passes all understanding. Acts 21:10-11, 30-31, Phil 4:6-7 &
Romans 8:14.
3. Through the voice of the Spirit.
The hearing is usually inward and inaudible to others. It can also be in the form of a ‘still small voice’, outward in case of Samuel or it can come in the midst of godly thought. Isaiah 30:21, 1 Kgs 19:12, 1 Sam 3:3-5, Acts 9:3-5 & Acts 10:19.
4. Through Revelations.
These include dreams, visions, trances. Let’s be mindful that dreams can come via your thoughts or even from the devil. Joel 2:28, Eccl 5:3, Jeremiah 23:32, Job 33:14-17, Dan 2:19 & Acts 10:10-11.
5. Through ordained situations/circumstances.
God can use a scenario/situation to minister/reveal things to you. Jeremiah 18:1 6. Daddy GO’s testimony.
6. Through prophetic utterances and confirmations.
We should NOT live at the mercy of prophecy. Hosea 12:10, Jeremiah 7:25 & 1 John 4:1.
7. Through diverse means as deemed fit by God.
Typical is the case of Jonah and to the apostles. Jonah 1:7 & Acts 1:23-26.
OUTLINE B: RECOGNISING DIVINE GUIDANCE
This is very important because you want to be sure that it is from God. The Holy Spirit plays the dual role of a guide and counsellor.
1. Get familiar with the Word of God. His Word is the truth and ultimate source of wisdom on how we should live. Follow the instructions, therefrom. 2 Timothy 3:16.
2. Test your inclinations against the Word. The Holy Spirit will never push us to do anything contrary to God’s Word. If such conflicts with the Word; ignore it. 1 Corinthians 14:33.
3. Pray without ceasing. This keeps us in constant touch with the Spirit of Truth and enables us to follow His leading. 1 Thess 5:17 & Romans 8:26-27.
CONCLUSION
We have identified some of the avenues divine guidance can manifest in our lives. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Comfort. Let us allow Him to guide us for the rest of our lives and we shall never be lost in the wilderness of life.
Thank You Jesus,
Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
