#185: Let God Lead

By -

We welcome our readers, God lovers, sons and daughters of Zion to this glorious year of the Lord, 2022. We believe that God who has kept us thus far has great plans for us this year. He has promised and will continue to remain faithful. In this year 2022, we pray that this blog will serve as nourishment for our lives as we course through the journey of life.  

The New Year is usually seen as a time for new resolutions, sober reflections with several phrases like ‘New year, new life,’ ‘Dawn of a new era’, flying around. While some see it as a time to make life-changing decisions others feel it’s just a change in the calendar. Howsoever it is, we make decisions daily; premeditated or not.

The decisions we make as we plan our lives have a great deal on our future; could make or mar us. Because we have no idea of what tomorrow holds, we need direction and guidance from He who knows tomorrow. This is where Divine Direction comes in. This month, we will be trusting God to take us through understanding divine direction.

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8

Most times, we are scared of surrendering our lives to God because we feel once we do that, He will take us backwards or send us as missionaries into a remote village. However, the word of the Lord says that He will guide us along the best pathway for our lives. He knows what is best for us and He always leads forward.  We might have had our life all planned and calculated, remember that;

There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. 
Proverbs 16:25

What then should we do? From today, going forward, we should include our creator in our decision making. Let’s commit our ways to the Lord. Everything we do; from our outings, daily routines to major life decisions like marriage and career. Through this, we secure His divine direction for our lives. This divine direction secures and guarantees our glorious destiny in Christ Jesus.  

Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.
Psalms 37:5

Today, as you pen down your new year resolutions and plans for the year, remember to inform the Chief planner. Join us next week as we delve more into understanding the wonders of Divine Directions.

Verse for the Day: Isaiah 48: 17 NLT

This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
    who teaches you what is good for you
    and leads you along the paths you should follow.

Thank you. God Bless you.

Happy 2022

#126: The Story behind the Hymn I: When Peace, Like a River

By -
Author: Horatio Gates Spafford  (1873) In November, 1873, Horatio Spafford sent his wife and four daughters on the French ship  Ville du Havre  from their home in Chicago to a vacation in France, planning to set out a few days later himself. Somewhere in the Atlantic, the  Ville du Havre  collided with a British ship coming the other way, and sank in just 12 minutes. Of his family, only Spafford’s wife survived.  Spafford took the next boat over, and as he passed the spot where the ship went down, began to write, “When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll,” and continued until he had the text, “It is well with my soul.” His good friend, Philip Bliss, composed the tune for his words, naming it after the ship, VILLE DU HAVRE.  In this hymn, Spafford has given all of us words of comfort and assurance in times of physical and spiritual crisis, paraphrasing those familiar words of Julian of Norwich: “And all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all m

#152: FIRE

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Mathew 3:11) I’ve been going through the book of Mathew for a while now and you won’t believe what I saw. Well, you may have seen it before, but as for me, I had just seen this for the first time in my life. I sure had read this verse a couple of times in my lifetime, but I just never saw what I had just seen. This was what I saw, “…He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire”. The word that struck me was the ‘and’ between the Holy Spirit and Fire. Questions began to run through my mind like; Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit different from that of Fire? But Isn’t The Holy Spirit fire Himself? For days I looked upon this verse; I couldn’t forge ahead until I got light.  In the midst of my search, I fell ill; seriously ill that I couldn’t do anything, not even to pray or stu

#147: THE FORGOTTEN ONE'S 1

“But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 [AMP]) I once heard a preacher say that the reason his church was not growing in size over the years was because the members were not living right; if they lived right, many would see the evidence of Jesus in their lives and follow them to church. That’s partially true, but not 100% true. I once heard another preacher say that the reason they were depreciating in number was because evil was looming around the church and preventing new members from coming in. Well, that could be true to some extent, but not 100% true. I sat wondering year after year why it was the same people I saw in church every Sunday. There was no single new member and the only difference was that these people were getting older and dying while children were born to others to rep
