VISIBLE LEADERS (2) – DIVINE COMMUNICATION PATTERN

Another visible leader you must pay attention to is the pattern through which God relates with you. Everyone has a way that God speaks or communicates with them. In communicating with God, He doesn’t change His pattern with you. Anytime you receive another pattern different from how God communicates with you, it is a dangerous signal that you need to check critically and avoid.

I remember years ago when we had our annual convention in Ilesha, Osun State, Nigeria. On the last day, one of the guest speakers was ministering and brought a word for me that God was moving me to Lagos, a major city in South-West, Nigeria. I said this is contrary to the pattern of God’s dealing with me. When I was to move to Ilesha, God spoke to me in a certain way, and He came the same way when I was to get married. If God is going to move me out of town, He will use the same pattern to talk to me.

The pattern with which God relates with you will confirm any divine leading that comes to you through any invisible leader. God does not violate structure, and he is not an author of confusion. The same pattern God used to communicate with Samuel in the house of Eli was the same pattern He came to him several times on his journey. It was the same pattern God used when He told Samuel to go and anoint a king in the house of Jesse. Never neglect the pattern that God uses to come to you; it is your navigator to your appointed destination in life.

Prayer: Lord, I receive better accuracy and sensitivity to frequently recognize divine leading and guidance in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
