Animal’s move where they want to, they just wake up every day and just do things that suit them; they do things using their instincts. This isn’t so for man; for us, we plan out our day and expect everything we do to fall into plan. Unlike animals, we don’t just wake up and move, we make choices and decisions which is very much different from the next man. But the point here is to know why we plan, because to plan implies creating assumptions which are prone to fail or succeed, like living a life of probability. Someone didn’t live His life this way, He knew exactly what would happen because He went ahead of the story and knew the exact step to take. The person is Jesus; Jesus didn’t plan the way we plan, He followed the plans or the Planner, that’s why He never made a single mistake through His entire life. Let’s find out how He did it.
Man plans his day using basic assumptions but he has no accurate certainty of the outcome. He does this following the trends that have continuously repeated itself, but the point here is that the day he intends to carry out his plan might be the day things change and what does he do? He goes back to his drawing board. This wasn’t the case for Jesus; you see I keep repeating this every time, Jesus didn’t do anything unless His Father who is God Almighty asked Him to do so. Let’s take a popular example; the temptation. Jesus had just finished fasting and was really hungry; it was quite obvious Jesus was far away from town or else the devil wouldn’t have tempted Him with food. The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” Matthew 4:3 (NKJV). First of all, Jesus didn’t have to prove anything because the truth is that doing that implies you weren’t sure of yourself and it’s a sign of weakness. A boy doesn’t need to undress to everyone before they know he is a boy, his life and attitude just prove it without him doing anything; let’s get back to the story.
Jesus answered him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” Matthew 4:4 (NKJV). What Jesus implied was that He follows no other instruction, not even His mind but only the Word of God; that sounds like huh???!!!. That’s how Jesus lived, but notice Jesus didn’t just reply the devil just like that, He replied him using the scriptures! Jesus was equipped with the scriptures which is; God’s word; this is a very key aspect in the life of Son or Daughter of God. Jesus lived like this all through His life and fulfilled what He was sent here on earth for without making a single mistake; this is because, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” and “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” Psalm 119:105 and Proverbs 3:6 respectively (NKJV).
The word of God is expected to be our eyes to see, we can’t see without the word. First of all, we are to meditate on the scriptures every day and then the Holy Spirit would interpret what was studied and guide us on how to live our lives. As you go by, it could happen that when someone asks you a question there could be the prompting of the Spirit to know the words to reply with. This happens in everything we do and ones it is the Spirit, He is never wrong. This is why people wonder how you get things done easily, it’s not magic, and it’s simply meditating on the scriptures and being led by the Holy Spirit.
You will live life with ease just as if you know exactly what would happen; well that’s true because the One whom you follow knows the end from the beginning. God loves us more than we could ever imagine, just trust Him. This is the Gospel truth.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
