KEY SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:14” For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”.

Our key scripture states clearly that God leads His children. You are not His child if you are not led by His Spirit.

Some children of God are often in a dilemma about what the will of God is in a particular matter. Some even seek a prophet or seer who will reveal the mind of God about a matter to them. How does God guide us?

We would look at God’s general guidance for now. In His general guidance, we take every action, and decision to be in harmony with the Word. Is what we seek to do enjoined by the scriptures. Does what we are doing agree with the rule God has given us to walk by? Is it in consonance with the example our Lord Jesus left us to follow? If what we are doing is following His word then it should be His will. When you do what the scripture instructs then you are prompted by the Holy Spirit. Note, that Satan would not ask anyone to love his neighbour (except for a wrong motive) or pray for the salvation of souls. The psalmist said, “He leads me in the path of righteousness, for His name’s sake. Psalm 23:3b.

God’s word is given to us not just for information, but to regulate our conduct, to enlighten our minds, and to mold our hearts. God’s word supplies us with an infallible counsel by which we steer through the dangerous part of life. Proverbs 4:8 instructs us to exalt the counsel of scripture for the scriptures would promote you and would bring you honour when you embrace her.

Dear brother or sister, if you sincerely follow the scriptures, they will deliver you from disastrous rocks and direct you safely to the heavenly shore. The word of God has every good instruction we need for every problem, and every emergency we may be called upon to face. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto every good work”. 2nd Timothy 3:16-17.

God’s word is a perfect guide to help us navigate our way through life.

   CONFESSION

God’s word is profitable to guide me in all matters of faith and conduct. Indeed, it is the perfect counsel for life. My life is built up on it and I continually move upward and forward in life.
