READ PSALM
119:33-40
One of the
greatest benefits of sonship is spiritual guidance. Without it, life can become
a trackless wasteland. Those who traverse such a wilderness will become
confused, weary, and tired. The need for divine guidance is pronounced in some
areas of life. Spiritual guidance is extremely important in the area of
marriage, for example because marriage can make you or break you. You have to
take your case to the Lord in prayers. It is a dangerous thing to move without
the Lord’s green light. If God does not give you the green and you move, you
are asking for trouble. In Psalm 25:9, the Bible says, “The humble He guides in justice,
and the humble He teaches His way.” God will guide only the meek. There
are the ones who are ready to listen to God. There are some who would rather
stampede God. A sister once invited me to her wedding. I was delighted to go
but, unfortunately, the date of the wedding coincided with another programme I
had to attend in Britain. The sister insisted that God had told her that I
would be at her wedding. I said very good, but I could not see how I would be
in London and also be at her wedding at the same time. Another sister invited
me to her wedding. I said no problem. She asked me to choose a date that would
suit me. When i told her I had already been booked for the whole year. We chose
a date, one year ahead and she waited. Some days to the appointed date, my
mother died. She was buried on a Friday. Many people did not know that she was
buried on Friday because the Saturday we would have buried her was the day we
had scheduled for the sister. She asked me to fix the date and I did. I could
not now turn round to change it and disappoint her. After my mother’s burial on
Friday, people who came to greet me on Saturday were surprised to hear that I
had gone to attend a wedding ceremony. God will guide only the meek. If you are
meek, the type of person God may show you to marry may not be choice but God
knows what is best for you. Let God guide you. Do not choose first and then ask
God to ratify.
MEMORIZE:
ROMANS 8:14 –For as many as are led by the spirit of God, these are sons of
God.
