GUIDANCE IN CHRIST



At the command of the LORD they remained encamped, and at the command of the LORD they journeyed; they kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses. (Nu.9:23)

Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.


God’s Guidance is your birthright in Christ. Even under the Old Covenant, God led His people every day. He used various means and methods to guide them. They all are shadows of God’s guidance for you, His child. God wants you to know His various guiding lights that take you to your destiny.


God’s Word and commandments guided His people daily. Every guidance must be tried with God’s Word. In Christ, you have the full Word of God to instruct and guide you in all your ways.


The precious Holy Spirit is hovering over you like the glory cloud. He is your great Guide and Counselor (Jn.14:26). One of His main ministries is to lead you daily in your decision-making. When you submit to His gentle leadership, you will never miss His guidance. Instead of worrying about your future, acknowledge the overshadowing Presence of the Holy Spirit. Love Him, fellowship with Him, talk to Him, yield to Him, listen to Him, obey Him. You will never miss God’s best! You may hear God’s voice in your spirit, and you may feel the guidance of the Holy Spirit.


Still, you need godly leaders to guide you and confirm your calling. “Me and God” is not biblical. In Christ, you are blessed with five-fold ministries. Especially the ministry of a prophet helps greatly in finding God’s guidance. They are the eyes in the Body of Christ. They are God’s seers. Even in the New Covenant, their ministry can never be underestimated. They not only confirm your guidance, they can even give new insights as Agabus did (Ac.11:27-30; 21:10-11).


Beloved, the Holy Spirit, your own spirit, your God-given leaders and the five-fold ministers are God’s special gifts to you. You are safe when you follow these precious means. He will guide you continually -gently - supernaturally - meticulously - specifically - orderly - totally. Take heart!
