WHAT IS DIVINE DIRECTION?

WHAT IS DIVINE DIRECTION?

So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
Deuteronomy 32:12 (KJV)

We established that Yahweh created man and placed him in Eden. Yahweh brought us forth from the womb into this world. That Yahweh has a purpose in mind for bringing me. Having come of age, I must seek to know the purpose for my making. Purpose is the original intention for the creation of a thing. Man was made to worship and praise Yahweh; to bring pleasure to Him. There is also specific purpose for each one of us. For instance, the purpose of the author is “To bring all people to maturity in their knowledge of HaMashiach, so they can begin to reign in life and ready for eternity. (see 1 Corin. 2:6-7)” When you understand your personal purpose, you seek the Lord to know the vision. Vision is the visual insight into where you are going to end up. Yahweh may show you the vision of the end of your life. From where you are to the end of the vision is where divine direction comes in. Divine Direction is the unfolding of the details of the “how” to go about achieving the vision Yahweh has given you. Divine Direction is receiving the instructions from Yahweh from time to time on the next step and moves to make in line with fulfilling your Yahweh-ordained vision.

BE WILLING TO BE LED

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:Isaiah 48:18 (KJV)

Yahweh made man a free moral being. This means that you are free to make your choice in life. Even though Yahweh desires that nobody ends up in hell but He leaves each individual to make a choice of where he/she spends eternity. Even though Yahweh wants all to worship him, he still leaves each individual to make a choice whom to serve; this is why so many are serving Satan today. One thing with Yahweh is that He never violates man’s decisions especially as it concerns his/her life. It is Satan that forces and coerces. That is how to identify a Satanic religion. That religion that forces people against their will to belong or die is surely Satanic. Yahweh always present a choice to you and urges you to choose life. But He never forces you to choice life, you are very free to choose death (see Deuteronomy 30:15, 19; Joshua 24:15). What Elohim is saying today is that “I want to lead you but I cannot force myself on you. You must make the choice for divine direction and be willing for Me to lead you.”

BE INSTRUCTION MINDED

BE INSTRUCTION MINDED

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
Proverbs 4:13 [KJV]

There are a lot of believers in HaMashiach that are only blessing minded. They are the Amen crew of believers; receiving blessings and echoing Amen and that ends it for them. But Yahweh has designed life to function on principles. There is a principle Yahweh established in Genesis 8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. It is the principle of Seedtime and harvest. Science decoded it and calls it the principle of cause and effect. This means that if harvest is your objective, then you must not ignore seedtime. This means that no matter how you shout Amen to a prophetic declaration, if that your Amen was the only action you took, you maybe heading to frustration if the outcome requires other input. For instance, until you give, you cannot receive. Giving is the seed that is required to be planted for the harvest of blessings to result. Luke 6:38 says, ‘Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.’ It is what you gave that a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over is returned into your bosom. This is a principle of seedtime and harvest and it has no respect to whether you are born again or not. If you take this principle no matter who you are and diligently apply it, you will without fail, end at the supposed outcome.

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isaiah 45:19 (KJV)

We serve a speaking God. Yahweh said in Number 12:8 concerning Moses, ‘With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold:’ This Month you must be convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that the Yahweh that you serve speaks. Moses went to the mountain for 40 days fellowshipping with Yahweh and He was giving us hint of their communication when He said that He spoke with Moses mouth to mouth. I want you to crave that order of communion with your heavenly Father. If it happened to Moses, then it can and should happen to you. Yahweh Speaks and He desires to speak with you mouth to mouth. Whatever is written is written for our admonition (see I Corinthians 10:11). In this month, we are going to learn how Yahweh speaks to us and how He told us to seek His direction.

YAHWEH HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

YAHWEH HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah 29:11 [KJV]

In Jeremiah 1:5, Yahweh says ‘Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.’ Yahweh has a specific plan for you. Yahweh has a general plan for all of us His creation but also for us individually, He has a specific assignment. This is crucial because life becomes a frustration without taking delivery of the plan of Yahweh for our individual lives. So many people are frustrated even with fat bank accounts and all that money could buy. We have seen people parking their cars and going into the bush to commit suicide. So frustration is not just about not affording this world’s comfort. There is a plan for your life, if you are not functioning in that plan, there will be a hollow in your heart that can sometimes drive people to insanity of behaviour. Yahweh is stirring you up to seek Him for the unfolding of His plan for you. Whatever you are not looking for, you may not find.

THANKFUL FOR NOVEMBER 2022

THANKFUL FOR NOVEMBER 2022

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 7:12 [KJV]

Wisdom affects everything about the living of a person on earth. Wisdom determines the quality of life that one is going to live. When you take wisdom steps, then you will experience the best of Elohim in your life. One of wisdom’s ways is thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the wisdom for increase, sustenance and promotion. Until we give thanks, we do not have access to the throne room. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Thanksgiving is the access code into the throne room and into the presence of the Father. You may have plenty of supplications to offer; your case may even be very urgent, but you would be yelling from the outer court without thanksgiving. That is the beginning of frustration on the altar of prayer. It is Wisdom to come with thanksgiving. Wherever there is wisdom, there will necessarily be thanksgiving.

WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST ENVIABLE CAREER/BUSINESS

Have you seen a man who is expert in his business? he will take his place before kings; his place will not be among low persons.
Proverbs 22:29 (BBE)

Wisdom wants to make you an expert in any area of your calling in life. If it is not excellence, divine wisdom is not involved. Divine wisdom drives you to focus on your career or business, develop goals, short and long term goals and begin to apply yourself to the demands of diligence in order to make the most of your time. We are going to outline wisdom steps to take to emerge an expert in your career or business that will make you attract kings and nobles around the world. Remember that kings are ordained to come to the brightness of your raising (see Isaiah 60:3). The operation of wisdom puts governments under pressure to consult you because they cannot deny your effects by the excellence that exudes from you. What are the wisdom steps?

WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (B)

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians 3:19 (KJV)

The husband has a responsibility to love his wife as HaMashiach loved the Church. Our opening text states, “and be not bitter against them” meaning that the wife has the capacity not just to annoy her husband but to behave in such a way that will embitter the man. To be bitter means to express severe grief or regret about something. It means marked by strong resentment or cynicism. The husband must know that the wife could behave in ways that could bring strong resentment in his heart towards her and from the beginning make the room to love her in spite. The Church is not close to being perfect but HaMashiach still loves the Church and gave Himself for her. Husband remember that loving your wife has a yardstick and it is a very high one. It is as HaMashiach loves the church and gave himself for her. Loving your wife is something you must be intentional, dedicated and consistent about. She does not need to be perfect to deserve your love. The Church was lost when HaMashiach died for her. It was that sacrifice of love that brought us into relationship with Yahweh. It is loving your wife that will bring out the angel and comforter in her alive. Put showing love to your wife in your budget. Be intentional about it. Your open heavens amongst others depends on your wife’s disposition towards you.

WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)

Man is a creation of Adonai. It is also only Him that knows the best way that the man can function and fulfill purpose. That is why, it is wisdom to go to the manufacturer’s manual for man which is the Bible and find out the Wisdom steps to take to maximize his/her life. There are wisdom steps in the Word for every area of the man’s life including his marriage. Marriage is Yahweh’s initiative. He therefore, knows the best way to enjoy it. It is Wisdom to search out the keys the creator of marriage has made available for unlocking the treasures in the institution. It is important to note that the wisdom of Yahweh looks like foolishness with men. However, the foolishness of Yahweh if there is anything like that is wiser than men (see 1 Corinthians 1:25). No matter the school you attended and the resultant certificate that you parade, if you don’t humble yourself and subscribe to the wisdom of Yahweh concerning marriage, you will make a shipwreck of your marriage. The evidence of the foregoing statement is the divorce statistics the world over and looks like the number is more with the well read class. Education is not equal to wisdom. Divine Wisdom is a function of hearing and hearkening to the Word of Adonai. If you are too big to hear and obey the word of Yahweh – the Bible, you are too big for success in marriage. If you are too educated to humble yourself before the Word of Elohim, you are too educated to succeed in marriage. Truth is truth. There is no new generation truth. Truth is timeless and ageless.

WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST SPIRITUAL LIFE

WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST SPIRITUAL LIFE

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Deuteronomy 4:6 (KJV)

Wisdom is hearing the Word and doing it. That was what the Lord Yahushua said in Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:“ As long as you remain in the Word, you are going to continue to function in Wisdom. Your spiritual life begins at new birth; at the time your spirit-man is quickened by the Holy Spirit; at the point of surrender to the Lordship of Yahushua HaMashiach (Ephesians 2:1,5,6). Having come alive in HaMashiach, we have to walk in Wisdom to enjoy most successful relationship with Yahweh. The First thing about our lives as new creations is that the food of our recreated human spirit is the Word of Yahweh. 1 Peter 2:2 says, ‘As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:’ In John 6:63 (NET), the word says that ‘The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.’ To grow and mature spiritually, you must be addicted to the Bible in reading, studying, meditating and practising same. You cannot outgrow this process as long as you are on this side of eternity. How long can one go without food before the body wears out? Same applies spiritually, if you starve your spirit of the Word, it will soon die and you would return back to sin.
