 Have you been given a word from the Lord and it appears that something is boasting against it?
Are you standing on a revealed word of God from scripture in any area of your life and something is boasting against it? Be rest assured that God is never caught unawares, and He already knew about that false look like impossible situation before it even appeared.

 Have you ever read the book of Jonah? Many of us are aware of what happened. The full account can be found in Jonah chapters one to four.
In summary; Jonah was told by God to go to Nineveh and warn them of their wrong doings. Instead of Jonah obeying the Lord he decided to flee and go somewhere else. He found some men in a ship, paid the fare and decided to travel with him.  Many of us are aware of the “ Lord’s Prayer” in the Bible (Matthew 6: 9- 13).
In this short article l am going to dwell on the phrase “ Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6: 10). Did you know that the above verse is the basis for the majority of prayers? Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The above reason is why we need to pray. 
We have victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15; 57).
As Christians we have to learn to walk through the trials of life with the Lord; knowing that through Him we always have victory. When we pray ; we believe that we receive and we have what we desire of the Lord ( Mark 11; 24). There are times that the Lord might instruct us to do certain things; it all depends on what the issue is.  There is an account in the bible where the Lord sent angel Gabriel to give Zacharias and Mary a message.
From the account both Zacharias and Mary asked the angel a question however; and each got a different response. The Lord does not mind us asking the right questions. In this account; Mary asked a fair question as she had never known a man and it had never been heard before so Marys question was genuine. The angel answered her question and even went on to tell her about her cousin Elizabeth to encourage her. The angel concluded by telling Mary that with God nothing is impossible.  Is there any reason we can find ourselves referred to as sheep in the bible?
As scripture uses the term “sheep” it simply means that there is something in the nature of sheep that is applicable to us all. Now let’s have a quick look at some scriptures referring to us as sheep.  The process of purging does not always appear a pleasant experience as it can be hard on the flesh. However the Lord knows better, and knows what ingredients are required for us to so we can bear more fruit.
What does the word “purge” mean? To cleanse out or cleanse thoroughly something.  Many of us are familiar with the account of Jacob and Esau in the bible. When Isaac was old (their father), Rebecca told Jacob to act like Esau which resulted in Jacob getting Esau's blessing. This account can be found in Genesis 27.
 Many of us are aware of Abraham instructing his servant to go and find a wife for his son Isaac.
The servant had no mobile phone, no maps for direction. All that Abraham's servant could do, was to position himself rightly and leave the rest to God.  Most of us have asked the Lord for direction in making decisions and will continue to. The bible says that the “Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth” (John 16;13).
The process of guidance for us can sometimes consist of trial and error on our part, or as a good friend of mine says “follow what has life on it”. As we mature, the guidance of the Lord should become more easier because we would at that time have noticed patterns and learned the ways of the Lord. |
