Gods Will or mans suggestion?

28/7/2013

6 Comments

 
Have you ever been offered a position or something that you knew was not the Lords will for your life? Very tempting, however you knew that it was a distraction from His purpose for you. What did you do?
 
Many times men see potential and skill in us and  try to channel it in the way they think is best. But what is the Lord saying?

 
Lets have a look at this scripture:


  John 6: 14 -  15

 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that  Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the
world.

 15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a  mountain
himself alone.


The world tried this with Jesus. What did Jesus do? The Lord did not wait for them to come, He took Himself out of the situation
before He was even approached. 
 
How many people have aborted destinies for titles and temporary positions? How many people have detoured from the path of life to that which seems to be good? Very dangerous and not worth it.

 
The wise resist any form of detour from the Lords  plan for their lives. Not worth it, for temporary pleasure which can end up being very costly. What matters most is 'well done good and  faithful servant'. Are you faithful and committed to what you know you need to  do?


  The Lord is counting on you. Refuse and resist  all the distractions. Stay on the path you know is right, The path to destiny and purpose.

Bisi, This is a great reminder. I had one co-worker who was a missionary in Ghana for many, many years. She was engaged to be married, but her fiance did not feel called to the mission field. So she broke up with him and never married. Truly, we have to proactively stay in tune with God's plan for us and not get distracted. Blessings, Amy

This is a very practical word. Many people miss God's best for them because of the very problem you have addressed. That's why it's so important for Christians to maintain an intimate relationship with God so they can walk in discernment regarding His will for them.

Thanks Pastor Frank. Yes and thanks for your comment. May we have discernment to know what to do when confronted with choices that can alter our God ordained destiny.

Bisi,
Thank you!! Even though the will of God is a favorite topic of mine (and the subject of my first book) I have never looked at that verse in that way. Good insight. I always enjoy your postings.
One time I was offered a major promotion just at the time I discovered the company I was working for was fraudulent in many ways. I quit rather than take the promotion. I have not been sorry even though it was tough for awhile.
Blessings to you and your ministry.
