Hello
friends,
In
our quest to BUILD ourselves up in readiness for the challenges of lifeand to a large extent great and blissful MARITAL FUTURE, I will love
to share with us the above topic.
God Almighty is the greatest Manufacturer and we His children, the product (Genesis
1:26-28). And He never left us without guide as to
His plans for our lives. He left us with what i call THE INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL
(The Bible ) which is able to guide and influence our choices in life. (Joshua
1:8)
What
is the will of God?
Simply
put it means the plan of God for our lives here on earth andeternity
to come.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL
OF GOD
1. God's
will is PURPOSEFUL
2. God's
will is PERSONAL
3. God's
will is PRACTICAL
4. God's
will is DISCOVERABLE
5. God's
will is DO-ABLE
6.God's will is
DESIRABLE
Every
man born of a woman is a sinner. Man is born with a self-centred will; the
Adamic nature, hence his thought is deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).
For
man to access and do the will of God,
he has to be genuinely born again - to experience the NEW BIRTH. (John 3:3,5;
2Corinthians 5:17).
The
will of man or of the world always lead to death, destruction, sorrow,
unfulfilled life (Proverbs 14:12) and ultimately eternal death in the lake
of fire!
HOW DO I KNOW THE WILL OF GOD?
The
will of God can be accessed through His written
Word, the Scriptures. John 5:39; 2Timothy 3:16,17. Hence, you MUST read,
meditate andpractice the Word
of God inorder to do His will in any areas of
your life, e.g., choosing a marriage partner, business, finances, etc
The
will of God can not be received from the pages of
newspapers, magazines, Google, or any other means apart from the Bible.
The
Scripture (Bible) is the authentic custodian of the will of God.
(2Timothy 3:16,17). And in the words of one of our
fathers-in-Lord, Pastor E.F. Kumuyi, "The PICTURE of your FUTURE is in the
SCRIPTURE."
What
that means is that, you must PERSONALLY search the Scriptures yourself so as to
be able to discover the will of God for your life. (John 5:39; Joshua 1:8)
PRAYER POINT: My destiny (shout it 3x)
corporate with the will of God for my life, spiritually, physically,
financially, maritally, ministrially and every other areas of my life in Jesus
name.
Stay blessed and rapturable in Jesus name
Your
friend,
