Bible Reading: John 12:24, Ecclesiastes 12:13, Isaiah 55:9
Memory Verse: He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. Psalm 103:7 (NKJV)
Do you know that there are dimensions in God? Do you know that there are realms in glory? Do you know that there are divers ways God walk with men depending on their level of surenderness? Many years ago, I was not willing to totally do God’s bidding for my life. I just wanted to be a nominal Christian. One day, a Father in faith called me. He said, “Son, you are the one that will determine the way God will walk with you”. That statement has remained a stronghold in my heart.
If God must be God indeed over your life, you must be ready for very strange instructions. Believe me beloved. You will get to a stage and tell yourself, ‘I think my head is not correct”. And indeed sometimes God’s way of thinking is different from our way of thinking. However, the aura of the results your life will keep producing is a testament that you are connected to the Divine – His name is Jesus. The way long time prophecies will come to pass in your life, I mean the pathway, the trajectory, the work program heaven will subject your destiny to, will not only surprise your enemies, it will also leave you dumbfounded.
However, get ready to walk alone. Get ready to die again and again to self. Your ego must be ready to be bruised. Self must die daily in your life. You can be right statutorily but wrong based on heaven’s standards. It is a function of who is calling the shot over your life. What do you say when God tells you to go humble yourself to your leader who did you great wrong? That is why He is God. Few days after that, your destiny opens up. You will think God is partial until He starts dealing with the same leader in His own way. You may even start to ask for mercy on his behalf. Brethren, for those who desire not only to work for God but walk with God, get ready for strange but scriptural compliant instructions.
For those who desire to plug into an ancient oil, get ready to obey God even though it pains. For those who want to please God strictly with their lives, get ready to wait daily upon the Lord. Behold the multidimensional ways of the Spirit of God. Are you ready to walk with God?
Quote: The best of God only comes as a result of death to self and sin.
Prophetic Decree: You will not settle for the permissive will of God for your life as a result of the hardness of your heart, in Jesus name.
