Happy Weekend everyone,
Have you ever tried to navigate your way in a pitch dark area without any source of light? I’m guessing it was very difficult for you to move about. You may be able to navigate your way with care in an environment you are familiar with, but in a completely new place, the best thing for you to do is stay where you are or wait for someone who is very much familiar with the environment to lead you, or better still, wait for light in order to find your way around. Why did I bring this up? Man since the fall of Adam has been walking in darkness, in an area, they have no idea of, but have long been deceiving themselves to think they can find their way around. This is why we see errors upon errors here on earth, a mistake is now a normal thing. But if they know the plans for their lives and how to live it, by having a guide, then they won’t be blind.
Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” How wonderful does that sound? Our maker and creator who is our Father is the only one who knows what we were sent here on earth to do; we weren’t sent here to follow the routine that we see in the world, that which Jesus spoke of in Matthew 6:31-32. We were sent here individually for a purpose no other person can fulfill, and this is in line with what Jeremiah 29:11 is saying.
In order to know the thoughts and plans God has for us, we need to walk with Him, embrace Him, receive Him into our lives, and have His mind, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 2:16). Romans 8:19 talks of how there is an earnest expectation by the world to see the manifestation of the Sons of God, and this manifestation can only happen by falling in line with what Jeremiah 29:11 says, and that would be yielding yourself to Jesus through the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
You may wonder how to gain access to the Holy Spirit, it’s very simple, once you are born again, He lives in you already. All you have to do is to pray to God, which really is speaking to God for Him to open your eyes and ears to perceive the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This is important because the Holy Spirit has always been speaking to us, but because we are always distracted by things around us, we don’t get to hear Him. This is why it is important for you to tell God to open your heart to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in other words, to hear Him when He speaks.
Another thing is that the Holy Spirit communicates in different mediums, but He picks that which would be striking to you. God the Father, has a plan for us, and it is only when we yield ourselves to Him through the guidance of the Holy Spirit that we would fall into the perfect will and plan of God for our lives.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
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!
