Theme: Understanding Divine Guidance for the fulfilment of Destiny

Topic: God’s will is to guide us

Introduction: Every one of us born into this world irrespective of how we were conceived and born, is here to fulfill a divine purpose whether we know it or not. The discovery of that purpose is called vision and the pursuit of the vision given to us by God is what is known as destiny. This explains why life is a journey in destiny. We never arrive in time as the end of time for each of us is the completion of our journey on earth. Destiny journey terminates in eternity after the completion of our pursuits. Where we land in eternity is however our choice determined.

Consequently, in the journey of destiny, we ought to understand that making the right choices is the key to actualizing God’s purpose for us irrespective of our initial feelings about God’s choice. Until God’s purpose for us is known and pursued by His guidance to its logical conclusion, our lives cannot be described as truly successful no matter how rich and renowned we become. However, no one can truly be successfully guided by God who has not come to the understanding that it is God’s will to guide them. Therefore, today, we shall be finding out from the word of God that it is His will to guide us.

God wants to Guide us:

From the time of the creation of man, God has shown man over and over again that He wants to guide us. From the word of God, we discover that when God first made man, the first thing He did was to define the boundaries of his operation. We are told He planted a garden east of Eden and put man there to dress and keep it. See Gen.2:8, 15-17 and Acts 17:26-28. Therefore, we learn the following truths about God from His word and actions here:

1.     God made man for His glory and therefore, when man understand this truth, his entire life would be lived to glorify God. See Gen.1:26-28; Is.43:5-7.

2.     The first thing God did was to create laws for man to guide him in the way God has chosen for him because man of his own cannot make the right decision as time proved eventually. Gen.2:15-17; 3:1-15.

3.     When God decided to separate a people for himself after the fall of man from his glory, he gave them laws to guide them to enable them fulfill their destinies. See Ex.20:1; Deu.30:19-20.

4.     How our destinies turn out depends on what choices we make in relation to His word. See Deu.30:19 and Ruth 1:16-18.

5.     When we make the right choice of cleaving to God through His word, we prolong our lives and fulfill our destinies. See Deu.30:19-20; Rm.8:5-8.

6.     God actually promises to guide us to make the right choices if we are meek. See Ps.25:12

7.     God guides us by giving us His instructions. When we follow His instructions, we enjoy divine protection. See Ps.32:8; Ex.13:21-22 and Jn.10:27.

8.     God’s guidance is the guarantee of our divine provision. See Ps.23:1; Deu.8:7-9 and 2Cor.9:8.

In summation here, it is quite evident from the word of God that it is God’s will to guide us always and we are the better for it when we submit to His guidance. The first step to submitting to divine guidance following the fall of man is the new birth experience. When we are born again, we are granted access into the family of God that confers certain privileges on us chief of which is divine guidance. If you are yet to belong to God’s family, and you desire to do so, you can do it right away by saying the following prayer out loud in faith and you will be born again:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
