I KNOW SO LITTLE BUT ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT I AM IN THE CENTER OF THE CENTER OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR MY LIFE. I KNOW IT MORE THAN I KNOW MY NAME
- Bishop David Oyedepo on ‘UNDERSTANDING THE WONDERS OF DIVINE DIRECTION’ at Mid-Week Communion Service
*Don’t let your exposure lead to your failure. Thank God my exposure did not make me lose my destiny because my little knowledge of church growth as at that time, disagrees with Canaanland. I always thought location to be a vital aspect of establishing a church
- Any effort to burn any of our churches never worked and can’t work, if you don’t die then I am not sent to do what I am doing
- Have a spiritual viewpoint of every issue concerning your life. Don’t allow your exposure be the reason for your failure.
Send us your word tonight and enlighten our path in Jesus name we pray.
We have been looking at UNDERSTANDING THE WONDERS OF DIVINE DIRECTION.
- He always leads forward
God never leads backwards, He never leads sideways, He always leads forward (Exodus 14:15).
Accessing His ways is what empowers believers to make waves. Those who hear from God, they just become living wonders among men. We saw the wonder of Moses in Deuteronomy 34:10-12. It was instrumental to feeding six million people, six hundred thousand foot soldiers twice a day for 40 years.
Exodus 16:8
Moses had unimpeded access to ‘Thus says the Lord’. We just came to Landmark and after we built the fence, “Lord what are you saying?”. First quiet and then suddenly go ahead, He landed his word and verdict from Deuteronomy 11. Covenant came long before Landmark but the officials who are here know that after Covenant, it is Landmark because they are from the same source. God does not lead downwards He leads forward. Crave for His leading so you can stop going in cycles.
Isaiah 45:1- 2
When God leads, no door can be shut against you. There are too many reasons under heaven for everyone to do all it takes to access God’s leading for his life. Church Gist. You will be led away from the path of regret permanently. I know so little but one thing I know is that I am in the center of the center of the will of God for my life. I know it more than I know my name. He strengthens you when He sends you and you obey. 40 years and I have not had the first regret to ask “Oh God what am I doing?”.
When we were two I didn’t think it was not working, I just see God at work because he said “Go ahead”. His leading are mostly laughable.
2 Kings 4:1-7
Some people are too exposed to go forward. Thank God my exposure did not make me lose my destiny because my little knowledge of church growth as at that time, disagrees with Canaanland. Church Gist. Location is said to be a vital aspect of establishing a church. Don’t let your exposure lead to your failure, follow His leading.
- You won’t miss the place of your planting.
Just imagine that I missed my step to the U.S. and choose to stay there. I would have been affected by COVID-19, COVID-20, COVID-21 and 22. - You won’t miss your step.
It is very importance that we understand the route to divine guidance – be spiritual and remain a man or woman of the Spirit. The natural man cannot access the things of God because they are only accessible to people of the spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:14
Walking in the Spirit gives you clarity of access to divine guidance. Lord what are you saying? “This is the place”. No preparation of any kind, the tabernacle shall be dedicated September 18th. Clarity of access by walking in the Spirit, not formulations where you join scriptures together and say God has said it. You deceive yourself you pay for it, you hear Him properly, you enjoy it.
My wife and I were on our knees praying for guidance and He said “Stand up! Open your Bible”. I opened the Bible and Acts 22:10 jumped out of the pages to me. He said “You have to go there before you know what to do”. And I told my wife to stand up that prayer is over, we are going to Damascus the city of persecution. We tormented the persecutors. Church Gist. Any effort to burn any of our churches never worked and can’t work, if you don’t die Then I am not sent to do what I am doing. Clarity of access demands that you walk in the spirit, He can talk to you in the bathroom, He can talk to you anywhere.
- May you not be asleep when your turn to receive direction is been played.
Acts 16:6-9
The Holy Ghost is the custodian of all heavenly visions. The apostles were all men of precision, no guess work. May you not further suffer any assault to your glorious destiny by allowing the Lord to lead you, it is important for your fulfillment. Church Gist. Have a spiritual viewpoint of every issue concerning your life. Don’t allow your exposure be the reason for your failure.
- Just as we have never suffered any regret in 40 years by doing only what He tells us, no more regret in your life.
We close with this few points –
We are not redeemed as mediocre, we are redeemed as stars. We are not redeemed as failures, we are redeemed for the topmost top of life. We are not redeemed as strugglers, we are redeemed as wonders (Isaiah 8:18). Church Gist. We are redeemed to command exploits not to be a nuisance (Mathew 11:11). There is in you and I a ‘greater than Abraham’ DNA, ‘greater than Isaac’ DNA.
No natural limit, no demonic limit on your destiny if you know the way to go. Knowing where to go means God is with you. Church Gist. It will take a very stupid sheep guarded by a lion to be living in fear. The giant in the believer is only deliverable by divine guidance.
Joel 2:1-8
The gloominess of the hour is not allowed to touch you, it’s not part of your package.
The sky is too big for two big for two birds to crash into each other, there is place for every one in space, just learn to fly the spacecraft and find the way the way to get there.
We are redeemed as stars but we can’t get there unless we walk in our path not crossing to another man’s part. The only way you can arrive at God’s purpose for your life is to stay where you belong. Just know where you belong and stay there.
Three Proofs of Walking in the Centre of God’s Purpose for your life
- It triggers supernatural breakthrough
The greatest revival recorded in scriptures came by divine instructions – Go down to Nineveh and preach what I sent you to say. When God tells you where to go and what to say as a preacher, you won’t struggle. Just keep doing what you are told to do even if everyone thinks that you are crazy, It is good to be crazy following God.
-You will be seeing wonders from now.
Supernatural Breakthroughs Always Follow Those Who Follow Him.
Paul the Apostle was a God in human flesh to the Gentiles and a murderer to the Jews. He lost colour and beauty when he went out of his place. Moses heard from God and he went to Pharaoh, with all fears gone. He dared the undarable because divine guidance alleys all fear.
- He secures supernatural victory in every battle
Joshua 6:15-20
Supernatural victory is the result of following divine guidance.
2 Samuel 5:18-20
- Divine guidance keeps the believer ever refreshed by the Spirit of God. His leading guarantees a pleasurable experience in the race of life.
Apart from this teachings of this month, get those books about divine direction and educate yourself about waking in God’s purpose for your life. Church Gist. It is an investment worth making till your spirit man is awake to pick Divine signal at any point in your life.
Lift up your two hands and give God thanks for His commitment to leading you and me.
Psalms 32:8
Thank you Jesus blessed be your Holy name.
