Pastor Albert David say" We all need Direction"
Have you ever been driving toward a certain destination and gotten
lost? Most of us have experienced the frustration that comes with losing our
bearings when trying to get to a particular place. In situations like this,
some people will stop at a local gas station and ask someone for directions.
Others will keep driving, confident that they will be able to figure out where
they are going on their own.
In life, God wants you to know exactly where you're going. He doesn't want you
to stumble around, unsure of whether the steps you are taking are the right
ones. Instead, He desires that you have crystal-clear hearing so you can
receive specific instructions regarding the path He wants you to take. In other
words, God wants you to stop and ask Him for directions daily!
The prophet Jeremiah was
ordained to be a prophet before he was even born; it was God's plan for his
life (Jeremiah 1:4-10; 29:11). Similarly, you have a God-given mission that God
will help you carry out. The key to executing the mission, or vision, God has
given you is your ability to receive directions from Him and your willingness
to immediately obey what He tells you to do. When you increase your awareness
of God's voice, you position yourself to step right into His perfect will for
your life. Proverbs
6:23 says, "For the
commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are
the way of life."
God's directions give light to your vision. They are the steps you must take to
accomplish God's master plan for your life. Your greatest asset is an unbroken
connection with God. Through daily fellowship with Him and study of His Word,
you empower yourself to recognize His voice and obey Him in even the smallest
act. Like pieces of a puzzle, each step you take enables you to see the bigger
picture.
You must discover what God desires for you to accomplish in the earth. This
means quality time communing with Him and making His Word the final authority
in every area of your life. Being born again is a prerequisite to discovering
your God-given assignment. Once you acceptJesus
Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and begin seeking Him daily, He
will begin revealing your purpose to you.
The Holy Spirit is your
guide as you walk out the path for your life, so consult Him regularly. Check
with Him before making any decisions, and if you don't have peace in your
spirit about something, don't proceed. On the other hand, if you feel
"clearance" from the Holy Spirit to step out on something you believe
God has told you to do, and it lines up with His written Word, move forward
with confidence knowing that He is backing you up.
The Apostle Paul said, "Know ye not
that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that
ye may obtain" (1 Corinthians 9:24).
There is a set race for you to run, and God wants you to discover it. Make a
concerted effort to yield to His instructions daily. Before long, you will find
yourself walking in your divine destiny!
