Guidelines To Knowing The Will Of God

TOPIC: GUIDELINES TO KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD

 SCRIPTURE: I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. Psalms 85:8

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Be patient to learn His Voice. Be patient in the process of learning and knowing the Voice of God.  

One of the most important things to happen to anyone is knowing what God is saying and doing it.

When it was time to marry, knowing and following the voice of God got me married to the right person – my wife. If I did not hear God, maybe the story would have been different today.

Stepping into the Ministry by Divine direction also got us to where we are today. If I did not hear God, maybe many people wouldn’t have known me or the Ministry today.

It is very important for us to know what God wants to do with our lives per time.

That is why shall be looking at the guidelines on hearing from God today. We are going to explore four guidelines that will facilitate our knowledge of the will of God for our lives:

1. Be Word-filled. Be filled with the Word of God continually so you can know whether what you hear is from God or not.

The Bible says in Psalms 29:2-3, Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.

The ‘waters’ here refers to the Word, according to Ephesians 5:26: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That scripture says, the Voice of the Lord is upon the waters (The Word). That means the Voice of the Lord is upon the Word. So, be filled with the Word continually; it will help you to know whether what you hear is from God or not.

You know someone can suddenly wake up one day and say, “God says my millions is in the sale of tobacco; I am going to make a lot of money by selling tobacco.” That is completely contrary to the Word of God.

2. Be committed to doing what is written while seeking to know or hear what God is saying. Identify what has been written and keep doing it even as you trust God to hear what He is saying. There are so many things to do with the Word of God.

3. Be patient to learn His Voice. Be patient in the process of learning and knowing the Voice of God (1Samuel 16:1-8). Don’t get angry if you ever miss it; don’t be mad at yourself. It shows that you are only human. You are a learner. All you need to do is to say to God, “Lord, it looks like I did not hear you in this case. Please help me to hear you better.”
4. Don’t expect God to speak to you the same way He speaks to another. Don’t expect God to speak to you the same way someone else said He spoke to them. Don’t expect that because that may get you discouraged. Some people are more visionary than others. There are people that have sharper hearings than others.

Beloved, trust God to speak to you the way that is unique to you. Trust God to speak to you in a language you can understand. I see the Voice of the Lord coming for you, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Remember this: Be patient to learn His Voice. Be patient in the process of learning and knowing the Voice of God.
