God Is Leading You

Day 190

Reading: Isaiah 45:1 - 50:11

God desires to lead us. God desires we place our trust in Him wholly for He will teach us to profit. In leading us we live by the promises of God. The Lord God has promised us that His Word cannot fail, that which He declares will come to pass. You and I are assured that we are inscribed in the palms of God's hands to signify how much attention God pays to us whilst protecting us from our enemies. In the midst of these wonderful promises, God will raise a person that He will use for His purposes. What promises can we take along as we are led by God?

Firstly, He has called us by name. The power behind your position is not the title but who backs you up. If you work for some corner shop and have the powerful title of CEO it may make you powerful. However, you are no match for the CEO of say Google. I have given this illustration to help you understand the magnitude of the call of God over your life. When you are sure of your identity and call of God in your life the rest is a breeze. You walk confidently knowing the roar of a lion within you is authentic and great.

Secondly, the anointing of God. We have already seen that God doesn't use anyone who is not anointed. Every king and High Priest in Israel was anointed with oil. This anointing sets you apart for divine purposes. King Cyrus was called and set apart for the restoration of Israel. 

Thirdly, God will fight for you. Doors that couldn't open will open. God will cut through the bars of iron and break in pieces the gates of bronze. What God desires for anyone walking with Him is to know that there is no wall too high for God, no army too great to contend with God. God will subdue nations before you just to accomplish His purposes for your life. 

Fourthly, you will access treasures in dark places, riches in secret places, the wealth you didn't know about. When God leads you He teaches you to profit. You will hear a voice saying a word of divine direction that will lead you to the place of promise. Treasures are not just in terms of gold or silver as portrayed in pirate movies. Treasures will include patents and hidden wisdom giving solutions to the problems of this world. When God leads you He guides you to secret locations. These are the places that hidden to the natural eye and not lying about everywhere. 

Lastly, the person God leads enjoys having the tongue of the learned because of being awakened by God early in the morning to hear the wisdom that is divine. May I urge that you and I learn to meditate on God in the early morning. I am not just saying pray. No, learn to be still before Him and allow Him to speak to you. 

Memory Verse: Isaiah 45:11

Decree

Isaiah 50:4
“The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
