How Then Does God Guide Us – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

💥By now, we are certain about God’s desire to guide us, His creations, based on our previous devotional which revealed this truths in His Word.

💥The question now is how does God guide us?

A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

💥For God to guide us, we must have a relationship with Him through our Faith in Jesus Christ. We must accept Him as our Lord and Savior.

💥To receive divine guidance from God, we must acknowledge that His is our savior and only guide to eternal glory

✝️Jesus said in John‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭7‬ ‭AMP‬‬

👉🏾”The doorkeeper opens [the gate] for this man, and the sheep hear his voice and pay attention to it.

👉🏾And [knowing that they listen] he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out [to pasture].

👉🏾When he has brought all his own sheep outside, he walks on ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call.

👉🏾They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

👉🏾Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what He was talking about.

👉🏾So Jesus said again, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the Door for the sheep [leading to life].”

‭‭

💥In His figure of speech, Jesus is the Shepherd and those who have a relationship with Him are His sheep.

💥Jesus said His sheep listens to Him and hears His voice. He said:

👉🏾”When he has brought all his own sheep outside.

👉🏾HE WALKS ON AHEAD OF THEM (in His guidance), and the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call.”

💥His relationship with those who have faith in Jesus includes guiding us based on our individual needs and circumstances.

GOD GUIDES US THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT:

💥Those who have faith in Jesus Christ (believers) are promised the gift of the Holy Spirit.

✝️Jesus said in John‬ ‭16‬:‭7‬, ‭13‬ ‭AMP‬‬ “

👉🏾”But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go,

👉🏾I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth].

👉🏾For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].”

‭‭

💥The Holy Spirit is seen as a key way God communicates His guidance to us, prompting our hearts and minds.

💥God has given us the Holy spirit to guide us in all truth of God’s will and plan for us.��GOD GUIDES US USING SCRIPTURE AS A COMPASS.

💥The Bible is considered a source of wisdom and direction, providing principles to navigate life’s situations.

💥To receive God’s guidance, we need to actively seek Him through prayer and studying scripture.�

GOD GUIDES US AS WE SEEK HIS WILL IN PRAYER.

💥When we pray fervently, asking God for guidance, He hears us.

💥 With God, we do not wander around like sheep without a Shepherd.

💥 We do not have to grope in the dark as we are child of light.

💥 We are meant to walk in the light of God’s word and everything He has prepared for us.

💥 We must be cautious and not doubt God’s willingness to instruct teach and guide us in the way we should go.

💥 God is more than willing to help us into His perfect plan if only we are willing to be led by Him.��GOD ALSO USE OTHER PEOPLE AND CIRCUMSTANCES TO GUIDE US.

💥God sends people into our lives to guide us:

👉🏾He would use matured and experienced believers to speak into our situations , and to shed light into our circumstances.
