9 BUT as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 BUT GOD HAS REVEALED THEM TO US THROUGH HIS SPIRIT. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 FOR what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? EVEN SO NO ONE KNOWS THE THINGS OF GOD EXCEPT THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
12 NOW we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, THAT WE MIGHT KNOW THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN FREELY GIVEN TO US BY GOD."
1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (NKJV)
• How to position yourself for fresh instructions daily:
(i) Cultivate the habit of dialoguing with Him always.
(ii) Always have a time to fellowship with God, and talk things out with Him.
(iii) Appreciate every little result. Nothing should be too small or minute to thank Him for.
a. When this is done, you receive fresh revelation on what next to do.
b. God will not speak further until you are back with Him in appreciation, about the last assignment, and give Him the feedback on whatever you had done.
c. In the place of appreciation and acknowledgement, He would give you New ideas, fresh Revelation, on whatever to do next.
d. Appreciate and acknowledge Him in all He has done—thank Him for His past faithfulness.
(iv) Tell Him of His goodness and faithfulness in all your doings in the past, and how He has helped you to accomplish in all you did. He wanted to hear that from you:
"I WILL SING OF THE MERCY AND LOVING-KINDNESS OF THE LORD FOREVER; WITH MY MOUTH WILL I MAKE KNOWN YOUR FAITHFULNESS FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION" (Psalm 89:1 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
a. God wants whoever He has blessed to offer a Sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving: "THEREFORE, LET US OFFER THROUGH JESUS A CONTINUAL SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD, proclaiming our allegiance to his name" (Hebrews 13:15 NLT).
b. When this is done with a good heart, you cannot but receive a fresh revelation, a new direction, or an instruction, on what to do next.
• Praises release God's favour. When you praised God, you will experience an increase:
5 LET THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU, O GOD; LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU. 6 THEN THE EARTH SHALL YIELD HER INCREASE; GOD, OUR OWN GOD, SHALL BLESS US. 7 GOD SHALL BLESS US, AND ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH SHALL FEAR HIM" (Psalm 67:5-7 NKJV).
- God can only lead a person who acknowledges and praises Him. God does not, and would not lead a murmurer, someone who complains, because it is a sign of rebellion. God leads the praisers! When you praised God, you put yourself in the position of receiving or having more from Him.
• If you are stunted, you need to check your life:
a. You may have cut off from the original path, the line He places your feet—which He wanted you to follow.
b. God may want to change your focus, that could be the reason He halted you.
- Look inwardly, be quiet, and be prayerful, and be meditative; He will open up to speak to you.
- You may also need to repent If you had derailed from the right path He sets your feet.
- The leading of God is of paramount importance.
IF God does not lead you, How would you profit? (Isaiah 48:17).
IF He does not lead you, How would you know the way to go? (Psalm 25:9).
IF He does not lead you, How would you increase and make progress in life?(John 15:5). - Thus there is a need to cooperate with God to know His current move in your life, about the work you do, and about His Kingdom on earth.
- And most importantly, endeavour to key into His programme for your life as an individual believer If you had discovered it.
• You will not become a monument in Jesus' name.
- And you will not fail in Jesus' name.
- Whatever the ailment in your body, such is rooted up in Jesus' name.
- Healthy living is your covenant right as a Believer in Christ Jesus, thus, you would no longer be afflicted with any sickness or disease in Jesus' name.
Peace!
STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).
- If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
