LET THE LORD DIRECT

-

Numbers 9:2,4,8

“Tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover at the prescribed time,

So Moses told the people to celebrate the Passover

Moses answered, “Wait here until I have received instructions for you from the Lord.”


In our Christian walk we get to points and situations that may not seem very clear to us. We may have looked at scriptures and sought advice from elders etc, yet there is no clear instructions on what to do. We need to wait on the Lord.


This is why it is easier to live a life that is in continual fellowship with the Lord, so that it doesn't look strange to hear from Him or receive His instructions.


Many a times we are so filled up with ideas and opinions from the world, media and people that we do not place much importance on God's direct guidance to us.


Proverbs 3:5-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. 

Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.


We mustn't get it wrong, definitely there are things that are clear in scriptures and in our conscience there is no need to beat around the bush with them, however like we see in Numbers 9:1-14, there are times we need to be absolutely sure, especially when it comes to condemnation and things concerning the law.


As believers we walk by faith in the Spirit, not by the law, we walk in the love of God and truth, which is obedience to Him.

Remember that when the enemy was tempting Christ He was quoting scriptures!


It is not childishness to seek Godly counsel when you are not sure but actually a sign of maturity.


1 Corinthians 8:2-3

Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much.

But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.


Look at the ones who brought the woman caught in adultery to Jesus, they thought they knew enough, "O yes, let us hear what He would say now". After the encounter none of them was still waiting around, they walked away one by one in shame.


Let the Lord direct.


If you have the slightest doubt, seek the Lord, make it clear, then you move ahead without regret.


God is love!


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Holy Father help me to seek Your guidance in all things. My constant dwelling in Your presence would help me know Your will concerning all things, lead me Lord, I surrender completely to You.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
