Do you want God to direct your paths?

Wednesday 31 May 2017

Do you want God to direct your paths?

In all your ways acknowledge Hi

And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:6

We all want to know that we are walking in our purpose and in the correct path that God has mapped out for us. So what can you do for God to direct your path?

1. Acknowledge God

First and foremost we are told that we should acknowledge God if we want Him to direct our paths. The way we do this is to present everything we are doing to the Lord and ask Him to direct our steps:

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:6

2. Ask for His direction

Like the Psalmist, we too must ask God to show us the path that we should take and which road we should follow:

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.

Psalm 25:4

 

3. Commit all your ways to God

When we commit all our ways to the Lord, He will direct our steps and bring whatever we have committed to Him to pass:

Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you

Psalm 37:5

In summary, for God to direct our paths, we must acknowledge Him, ask for His direction and commit all our ways to Him.

 

Prayer

Dear Lord, I commit everything I do to You therefore please lead me in the path of righteousness in Jesus name.

You can’t out give God

 

Thursday 4^th May 2017

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

Matthew 19:29

1, Give to God and you will have more

In order to receive you have to be willing to give. God promise us in Matthew 19:29 that He is the supreme provider whether we acknowledge Him or not. Everything belongs to God whether we accept it or not. God promises that when we are willing to surrender everything to Him, including our family and possessions e.g land, He will acknowledge this and blesses us with more. He promises us eternal life and material blessings in return for us making ourselves completely available to Him.

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

2, God provides for all our needs

God knows our needs from our wants. He knows we need friends and family however God also reminds us that at times we may need to leave friends and family for His sake. In doing so God promises to bless us 100 fold and give us eternal life. God will compensate us for the lack.

Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

Luke 12:24 

Summary

It is worth putting God before all our wants and needs since He is more than able to supply all of our needs. When we truly surrender to God and place Him first, God promises to bless us abundantly and make provision for us to occupy an eternal place in His Kingdom. There is certainly no loss when we put God’s need first since He promises to bless us for doing so.

Being discreet can preserve you

Wednesday 5th April 2017

 Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you

Proverbs 2:11 (NLT)

Today’s verse tells us that discretion can preserve you. To be discreet is to have prudence or good sense. The question today then is, how can being discreet or prudent preserve you?

1, It helps you to focus on your own business

When you are discreet or prudent it helps you to focus on your own business because you realise that you only have one life and it makes good sense to use the time you have left to focus on your God-given assignment:

That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NKJV)

2, It helps you stay out of people’s business

When you are discreet it helps you to stay out of other people’s business. We are encouraged to work and not to meddle in other people’s business, in other words, not be busy bodies:

Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living

1 Thessalonians 3:11-12 (NLT)

In summary, when you are discreet and focus on your own business and not meddle in other people’s affairs, it helps to preserve you because you avoid any unnecessary trouble that doesn’t concern us.

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to be discreet in minding my own business and not to meddle in other people’s business in Jesus name.

When you work for God He will supply all your needs

Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

Matthew 10:9-10

In the following passage above we see that we serve a God who supplies all our needs. In the context of this scripture we see that God wanted His disciplines to be completely reliant upon Him to serve all their needs. They were to take no resources with them. Jesus wanted His disciples to have faith that God would provide for their needs.

1, When we work on behalf of God He completely sustains us

We serve a God of abundance. Our God promises to supply all our needs.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us

Ephesians 3:20

Jesus supplied all the needs of His disciples on their missionary journey. At times  God also reminds us that He also has the means to bless us abundantly.  (John 10:10). He reminds us that He can give us beyond what we ask and He did this with the provision He made for such people as King Solomon who was an extremely wealthy man.

2, We are worthy of having all our needs met

God desires in all things that our soul prospers. As such Matthew 10:9-10, reminds us that we can trust in God’s promise to meet all our needs and to not leave us lacking any good thing.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

3 John 1:2

Summary

God’s desire is that we flourish in all areas of our life. He wants to meet our emotional, physical and financial needs.  God makes provision for us to prosper materially as He desires for our soul to prosper in all things. When our soul prospers, all other aspects of our life prosper such as our health and our ability to make and keep wealth.

God desires to give good gifts, we must only ask

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Matthew 7:11 

1, God is alive and active

God is alive and active and desires to give fine things to those who ask. We serve a mighty God that desires only good for our life, including meeting all our financial needs.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 

The key thing we must remember is that we must ask. Provided we ask in line with God’s will, God will grant us His promise to give good things to us. 

2, God desires to give us good gifts beyond what any man could give us

God reminded us in (Matthew 7:11), that if man being evil at times can give good gifts then provided we ask, He can grant us much more. We are reminded that God operates from heaven. God is loaded with sovereign power and abundance. It is God’s will that we ask and expect to receive financial provision by faith, for when we do, God supplies all our financial needs (James 1:6).

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Matthew 7:7-8 

3, Faith is required in order to receive from God

We are told in the word of God the bible that God is the provider of every good gift (James 1:17). The key issue is that we must ask God to meet our need with faith. Provided we ask in line with God’s will, and with faith, God will meet our financial need. God warns us that it is faith that allows Him to meet our needs.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

Summary

God desires only good for us and supplies us with faith as a gift, as seen in (Ephesians 2:8-9) to receive all that God has promised us. We are all by God’s grace, given the faith required to get what we know we need financially, provided we are righteous before God and ask with faith, in line with His will. The measure of faith we need is small, as small as a mustard seed. All we need is a mustard seed of faith in order to receive what God has promised (Matthew 17:20).

God knows all your needs

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Matthew 6:33

 

God knows all your needs

God knows all our needs before we ask. God desires that we first and foremost put Him first then he promises He will take care of all or needs, both material, physical and emotional needs.

1, God knows all our needs

God knows all of our needs before we even ask (Matthew 6:8).  God also has His own needs. (Matthew 6:33). God’s need is that we first seek the kingdom of God then everything we desire will come to us. God is not a God of limitation or lack. Our God is a God of provision. It is God who gives us the wisdom to acquire wealth.  When we acknowledge God’s needs He supplies our needs.

And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:18

2, God desires we put Him first

God is a God of provision. He desires good for us and is the supplier of every good gift (James 1:17). God had made provision through his living word the Bible for all our needs.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

 In order for God to bless us in any capacity He desires that we have a relationship with Him first. He wants us to seek His kingdom first and then promises us that all other things will be added to us.

3, God is a God of principle

God is a God of principle and order. He is not the author of any confusion. God has set out clear guidelines so that we can be righteous before Him, so that He can bless us.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

1 Corinthians 14:33

One of God’s principles is that we live in obedience. This is an important principle to Him (1 Samuel 15:22.) God cautions us that He prefers obedience to sacrifice. In order to be blessed by God we need to get to know God and to acknowledge His guidelines. Another important principle to God is that we flee from sin.

Your iniquities have turned these things away,
And your sins have withheld good from you.

Jeremiah 5:25

Summary

God has blessed us with many promises that are yes and amen provided we are righteous before God and have the faith of a mustard seed to activate His power.  We can live a blessed life in all areas including our finances provided we put God’s kingdom and His righteousness first.  In doing so  we can acknowledge His sovereignty and can lay claim to His promises and power.

How can we stay free from the greed for money?

Wednesday 15th February 2017

 

Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.

Proverbs 1:15-19

In the above Scripture we are told that greed for money robs the owners of their lives. So the question is, how can we stay free from greed for money?

1. Recognise that you are blessed to be a blessing to others

Greed for money will make you do things that you would otherwise not do, however when you recognise that God has blessed you with finances so that you can be a blessing to others it totally frees you from the desire to hoard money without sharing:

The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.

Genesis 12:1-2 (NLT)

2. Make the Kingdom of God your priority

When you find a cause bigger than yourself, it frees you from the greed or love of money because you will recognise that the money is not only meant for you, but it can be used as a tool to bless your family, community, Church, etc.

For example if you make the Kingdom of God your priority, you will want to spend your money on things that will bring glory to God, such as supporting missions, just like the women who supported Jesus and His disciples:

Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s business manager; Susanna; and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and His disciples.

Luke 8:3 (NLT)

3. Recognise that when you give to the poor you are lending to the Lord

When you give to the poor, we are told that you are lending to the Lord and He will pay you back. This should help us to avoid hoarding all our financial blessings to ourselves because we know that there will always be poor people around us to bless with our money:

If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD–and He will repay you!

Proverbs 19:17 (NLT)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please bless me so that I can be a blessing to others in Jesus name.

A Leader Cannot Do Everything

Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the Lord said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.

Joshua 13:1

Joshua had fought many battles and captured much of the land that God had promised the Children of Israel, however he was not able to do everything. Even when he was old and advanced in years, there was still much land for him to possess. This teaches us a number of important lessons about leadership:

1. A leader cannot do everything

When God gives you a vision, it may be for you to begin and for generations to come to continue. For example when God called Abraham and promised to give him the Promised Land, he began the journey however it was his children 430 years later who finally captured the land. Your job as a leader is to begin whatever assignment that God has given you and then to put systems in place to ensure that it can carry on in your absence.

2. An effective leader will appoint other leaders to carry on their legacy

Because Jesus Christ knew that His time on earth was short, as soon as He began His public ministry He appointed 12 disciples who would carry on His legacy in His absence. Moses knew that he was not going to enter into the Promised Land therefore He asked God to choose a successor. As a leader you must ask God for wisdom about who to appoint to carry on the assignment that God has given you in your absence.

3. An effective leader must learn to delegate

Leadership can be draining both emotionally and physically which is why it’s so important that as a leader you know how to delegate to other people and not to micro-manage everything because you will wear yourself out. That is why the advice of Jethro, Moses’ father in-law is still so relevant today:

So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.

Exodus 18:24-26

Prayer

Dear Father, I recognise that I cannot do everything therefore please help me to learn how to delegate and appoint other people to help me with the work You have called me to do in Jesus name.
