GOD leads us by the way that we should go ~ (Isaiah 48:17)

God directs the steps of His people. It is His design that we would always depend on Him for guidance to succeed in whatever we do.  The path along which He directs us may not make sense to us, but He knows the beginning and the end of all things. Commit all your decisions and plans into His hands; never rely on your own understanding. He knows what is best for you.


If you have a Father-son/daughter relationship with God, do not ask Him to partner with you on that business, project, or anything that you lay your hands on, after you have made up your mind to go ahead with it, without His consent, and guidance.

GOD's ears are not heavy that He cannot hear. ~ Reference (Isaiah 59:1)

God hears the cry of His people and answers their prayers.  However, there are limitations to what He will do. He will never violate His covenant, alter what He has uttered, or be a part of anything that contradicts His nature. If we ask God for example to curse the one He has already blessed or ask Him to bless a fraudulent business, ministry etc., He will not. Asking God to do things that will compromise His nature is asking Him to vacate His throne; that will never happen!


Similarly, prayers that are contrary to His plan for us will remain unanswered in our own interest, even though we may not realize it. We should not be discouraged and conclude that it is only if our prayers are lengthy or said in a particular manner that we would receive from God. In most cases, when we are in right standing with Him and it seems He has said "No" to a request, there is always a good reason for it. He decides what is best for those who love and serve Him.

GOD calls us by name. ~ (Isaiah 43:1)

To call someone by name means that you know that person on a personal level.  God desires to have an intimate relationship with us. He loves us so much to know our names; we are precious to Him.  He delights in us and knows our names, who we are, where we have been, our strengths and our weaknesses. 

God's summoning is not about us, but Him. He summons us, not because we are more qualified than others, but because He has something great to be done and has chosen us for it.  He summons anyone He pleases, regardless of who they are, what they have (in terms of resources, abilities, strength) where they come from, or their past.  

God called great women like Deborah and Esther. He called Samuel at a young age and Abraham in his old age.  He called Moses, who had a speech impediment, and called Paul who was persecuting the Church.  When God calls us, He calls us with a promise, and empowers us for the task He assigns to us. 

God may have summoned you, but you refused to respond, or made excuses to deny His will for your life. It is only when we respond to His call that we have fulfilled the purpose for which He created us.  If He calls you again, how would you respond? 

GOD is called Jehovah-Sabaoth (The LORD of Hosts). ~ (1 Samuel 17:45)

This title expresses God's sovereignty over the heavenly armies. It is one of the Names of God young David boasted in, when He faced Goliath. Goliath bragged in his strength, but David boasted in his God, who controls all heavenly and earthly armies. David’s confidence was in a God who could deliver enemies into the hands of man without a sword or a spear. Surely, there was something extra-ordinary in the stone David hurled at Goliath’s forehead that made him slump to the ground; it was the power of God.


The story of David and Goliath portrays the powerlessness of man without God. Who do you call on when you are confronted with forces stronger than you?  Do you call on your family, friends, men/women of God, graven images, or some deaf and dumb god?  Call on Jehovah-Sabaoth.  Only He can empower you to overcome the forces that intimidate you.

THE HOLY SPIRIT is the Spirit of GOD that dwells in us. ~ (Romans 8:11)

If you are not yet born-again, you may find it difficult to believe that God indeed lives in us; but He does, through His Spirit. The Spirit of God lives in the body of every Christian who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, which is why the Bible says “our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:19). We must always remember that once the Spirit begins to dwell in us, we cease to own ourselves.

'Ceasing to own ourselves' in this context implies living for God alone, living only according to His own will and purpose, pleasing Him at all times, making decisions as He guides, and doing absolutely everything His own way. Our interests no longer matter and we begin to walk, not after the flesh, but the Spirit. 

How Can I Receive Jesus Christ As My Lord and Saviour, Today? 

GOD gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. ~ (Daniel 2:21)

God gives wisdom to those who are wise enough to know how important it is, and seek Him for it.  If you are striving for excellence, it takes discernment to know that you can reach the top if God is on your side, while others are struggling to make it.

It is good to be hardworking, but wisdom is what catapults you to greatness.  James 1:5 says wisdom is ours for the taking.  Ask God for it; He will give it to you.

GOD chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. ~ (1 Corinthians 1:27)

God puts those who are wise in the eyes of the world aside, and chooses those who are considered foolish for His work.  Worldly wisdom is not sufficient to understand the things of God. Besides, it pleases God to save those who believe in Him by what the world terms 'foolish'.  Salvation and all it stands for will always be foolish to those who are following the path of destruction. 

Likewise, God does not like it when we boast in our strength, wisdom, resources and abilities to do His work. It is His work! This is why any task He gives to you will be completed. If you are proud, sensual, overly ambitious, and covetous, it is doubtful that you would be an instrument in the hands of God.
