EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Yahweh led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for Yahweh said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:Exodus 13:17 (KJV)
We are going to see scriptural examples of divine direction and see what we can draw from them. When Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt, He did not lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. So you should be wary of shortcuts; they always cut short the lives of those who take them. The destiny of Israel would have been wasted had they taken the shortcut to Canaan which was the way of the land of the Philistines. Yahweh knows that some opportunity are traps in disguise, so you must trust Yahweh that He knows what He is doing in your life. The journey may be long but it is better to finish alive than to arrive early as a corpse. Yahweh led Israel by the wilderness. Beloved, wilderness is not a palatable environment. The way Yahweh may lead you most times, may not be palatable but you can be sure that it is the way of life and peace.
In I Samuel 5:19,23, we saw David enquiring of the Lord. ‘And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.’ (vs 19). It is only those that ask questions that are entitled to answers. In life, leave nothing to assumption. Also, Yahweh is not a one-way traffic God. The enemies came again and David had to enquire again of the Lord what to do and this time, a new strategy was given him to compass behind them (see verse 23). This is the beauty of divine direction; it gives you the strategy to win in the path to fulfilling your vision. The Holy Spirit is our greatest strategist and if we can be diligent to walk with Him, then for any confrontation, He would give us just the right strategy to win.
In John 5:30, we saw Jesus reiterating the place of divine direction in his pursuit of vision and purpose, ‘I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.’ So the success of the ministry of the Lord Yahushua was anchored on instantly obeying divine direction. You wouldn’t need to pray to be successful if what the Father wills is what you are doing. When your actions is in alignment with the Father’s will, then you are an automatic success in the race of life. You must be committed to being led by Yahweh by going to Him for direction. That is how divine direction works. At every crossroad, you must be committed to ascertaining the next step, no assumptions. Like now, you are supposed to have started asking questions of what Yahweh would have you do in 2024. Separate yourself to get to know what Yahweh is saying. Selah!
REMEMBER: Anyone that achieved anything of eternal value partnered with Yahweh.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask that you open my eyes and ears to see and hear what you would have me do in 2024 in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today, you shall no more miss Yahweh on any issue in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
