THE WILL OF GOD
Monday 8th August 2022
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The path the Lord has already made is the key to living a blessed life.
A blessed life is not limited to material success but is a life lived in alignment and accordance with the will of God.
John 1:46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
Jesus was born in a place where nobody expected anything beautiful but He aligned His life with the will of the Father until He became a wonder.
Outside His will, no matter how much we pray and desire we will never receive or see His help because God is only accountable to His Word (His Will).
Ephesians 5:15-17 ... Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Wisdom will tell you that the first thing you need to locate in your choices, connections, etc. is ‘ is this the will of God?
The only thing that delivers you and me from being fools is discerning God’s will and walking there ( Hebrews 10:7 ). Locating the will of God is an entry into the diverse blessings that God has for us.
Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You [are] with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalms 23 is a Psalm on divine guidance: sometimes the Lord will lead you in a valley of the shadow of death; these are not desirable moments/times but they are there.
Genesis 2:16-17 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Disobedience to the will of God which was the instruction God gave Adam and Eve has brought us here today ( Genesis 3 ). Every time you don’t walk in the instruction of the Holy Spirit you empower darkness/ your enemy to have an upper hand in your life.
Colossians 1:9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Knowing and walking in God’s will is very key because your security, prosperity, provision, and protection are confined within the radius of God’s will, outside the circumference of His will you are exposed to the enemy.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
The prodigal son walked away from the protection of his father: the environment the father had drawn for him to live his life, life seemed happier for a season but as time went by he was reduced to a pig ( Luke 15:11-32 ).
Every time you make choices aligning to the will of God; His help, strength, and everything you need to be encouraged will come to you to push you in the right direction Luke 15:20 20
John 5:19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
Jesus exemplifies that lifestyle no wonder the output of His life is out of this world. The same is accorded to you and me, we are easily exposed to that dimension that our doing is what the Father does. This simplifies life as we only copy the Father.
Deuteronomy 28:1-40
Every time the voice of God comes it is backed up by the written. The voice and the written define God’s will for your life.
These blessings are tied to men who walk in the will of the Father. God is not obligated to bless what He has not sanctioned.
Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Where the will of God is, the Kingdom comes in full force because they are one. The Kingdom of God is every blessing contained in the Kingdom: the power, the anointing, and the grace can only flow where God’s will is being done.
