HOW WILL GOD GUIDE ME ?
How will I know the right steps to take that are in line with God's plan for my life?
God has prepared ways for direction in our everyday affairs.Let's look at them;And note that all these ways and mediums will never contradict each other;
1. His word-
They shall not hunger nor thirst,neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,even by springs of water will he guide them
-Isaiah 49:10
The word of God is likened to rivers or springs of water-
For his delight is in the law of Jehovah and on his law does he meditate day and night.And he shall be like a tree planted by the springs of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season who's leaf also does not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" Psalm1:2-3
God is promising to guide us by His Holy word,God cannot give you an instruction that will contradict His word.Remember The Bible,His word, is His will penned down.
a. Guide your life by the word of God, let the Bible be your yardstick,no matter how wonderful the idea,if it does not agree with,or speaks contrary to the Bible,then it's not God's will,especially the New Testament written to us believers for example,the scripture says clearly -
"Be not ye unequally yoked with unbelievers:for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity?or what communion hath light with darkness?"
-2 corinthians 6:14
The word 'unequally yoked' Apostle Paul uses it as an illustration of having two animals of different nature made to plough a field together, take for instance an ox and a donkey or ass,each has an ox and a donkey or ass, each has its different strength and composition.
Same the Lord is saying to us through this epistle that righteousness should not be yoked with unrighteousness,nor light with darkness,,we believers with unbelievers,we are not the same,why? the bad will damage the good ,the evil will corrupt the good,they are contrary to one another.
Can i,a believer, marry an unbeliever,can i a saved child of God go into a matital relationship with an unsaved person who is still living a worldly life and following the dictates of satan?.
verse15 of the same chapter says;
"What concord hath christ with belial,or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever"
Christ has no agreement with the devil. You say "but i a beleiver can marry this unbeliever and change him/he"?. My answer and the answer of the Holy Bible is No, clearly No.
if you have not been able to get your unbeliever friend saved before now, how will that take place after you are wedded? remember friend;
Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
- 1 Corinthians 15:33 ASV
The Word of God is ever sure, it never fails, it is the most reliable source of guidance to us believers.
But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.-1 Peter 1:25 ASV
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.
-Psalm 119:105 ASV
I strongly advice , if any intention is contrary to the word of God, please stay clear.
Never take a decision without finding out what the word of God has to say about it.
So;
1. When taking a decision of everyday living."Should I take that job or not?", you should still weigh it with God's word, How? if it falls below God's standard , then don't take it.Don't take your decision on how big the pay-package is.Ask yourself sincere questions.
Will this Job take me away from God ?
Will God be glorified?
