Divine LeadingSample

GUIDANCE IN UNCERTAINTY (2)

If what I receive creates something that looks contradictory to the Word of God, I go with the Word of God. All these leaders of the kingdom are perfect in themselves, but in the transmission of instructions to the human mind and understanding, there is the possibility of the introduction of error. You must always allow for that possibility of error - that’s why we need to cross-check. In Judges 7, only Gideon understood what God wanted them to do.

You should understand this in your walk with God: divine leading is always a subset of divine order. Divine order comes out of divine command and divine pattern. Divine leading is always in the context of divine order. For example, the forty days of fasting and praying we do in the ministry is something that God has dealt with us to do over the years, but it is not in the class of a divine instruction or a divine commandment. It is part of the programme of God, the leadings of God for us to seek His face once a year. It’s a direction of God but not in that class to establish an order. This means that members of the church will have two choices to make and today's sharing will be of immense help.

When you find yourself in a situation and you want to know which option is the best for you, for example, “Should I fast or not? I’m undecided, either way, I may or may not.” Go with the visible leader.

PRAYER: Father, I ask that You help me to always see the divine order anywhere I find myself. Make it clear to me always, so I can follow the Leader correctly in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
