Hello Guys,
I was at our(Living Faith Church Worldwide) Midweek Service Last Night. Having read his book Understanding Divine Direction, I put two and two together and was able to take notes that I wanna share. A lot of us are divided on life issues. I shake my head when I see headlines on Tithing and why we should pay or not pay. Questions like "how do I know he is the one" comes up on every blog/social media.
I hope the notes that I took from the service will help. It certainly helped me. You can also hear/watch the message via this Youtube Link For How God Leads Today Sermon By Bishop Oyedepo
Sermon: How God Leads Today(March 7, 2018)Texts from Psalm 23:1-6, John 10:21
What are the requirements for Divine Guidance?
1. Be full of the word of God. To defeat the devil, you must be word loaded to avoid misguidance. God guides us today via His Word or you'd be misguided. Ps 119:105. It is the standard that helps you identify what's not from God's word. Amos 3:3, 2 Cor 6:14. When God speaks, you have peace Ps 85:8, Malachi 3:6. God's word is the sound of joy Ps.89:15... no struggle and no tension. These signs helps us to know.
2. Rejoice in the Lord always. Ps. 16:11. Phil 4:4, Isaiah 30:29-31. If you can't find joy Acts 20:22, you can't access His voice.
3. Joy of salvation is one of the features of salvation. The fruits of the spirit are proofs that that one is born again Galatians 5:22-23. Proofs of redemption. No true believer gets easily depressed. Hen 12:2. If you can't find the fruits, check if your salvation is real. Anytime you are in doubt of the/your next step, stay where you are. If he's silent, remain where you are. Don't jump from one business to another or one job to another
Some of The benefits of Divine Guidiance
1. The peace that passes all understanding/knowledge Isaiah 48:17-18. Ever confident. Peace like a river. Psalm 23:4. You fear no evil. Mark 4:35-40, John 5:30, proverbs 3:13-17. Walking in divine guidance =Wisdom. You get peace and direction from God. Job 3:25, Prov.14:12.
2. Supernatural refreshment psalms 23:1-4 Great things happen and it's like nothing. God's leading refreshes our soul Psalm 23:3, Watch out against tensions, they aren't godly. Keep away from what is lost and look ahead for what is to come.
Don't allow what will tamper with your joy. Phil 4:4, 1 thess 5:16.. lay your complaints aside and look up to Jesus. PS. 121;1, Isaah 48:21, God's leading always culminate in a gushing. Prob. 3:5-6, Ps.23;1,5. The enemy can't stop me when God is leading me. Ps. 24:7,8. No more assumptions/guesswork.
