WAIT FOR INSTRUCTION

May 5, 2014

Without instruction, confusion and destruction is inevitable. Isa 30:21 says, “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Prov 14:12 says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” God is ready to instruct us every minute of our lives, the problem with most human is that we refuse to ask for instructions from God.

Some of us even prefer to go our own way so we can do what we want to do when we want to do it. This has resulted into many people getting lost and wasting their precious lives. Sir/ma, God will tell us the way to go, but then we have to do the walking. He told Noah what to do, but Noah did the building. He told Peter what to do, but Peter did the casting of the net. He told Moses what to do, but Peter did the striking of the rock with the rod.

Some of us already have an idea of what we want to hear from God. So whenever God is telling us something, we do selective hearing. We hear that which we want to hear not what He wants to tell us.  Jonah already had an idea of what he wanted to do, so when God was saying, “Go to Nineveh,” Jonah had already made up his mind to go to Tarshish which almost led to the destruction of his life and those he travelled with.

God is still in the business of talking to people, but you must go to Him to hear. He would speak to you. Your job is to listen before you proceed. Have you ever taken time to ask Him what He wants you to do or where he wants you to be? Know that, “To be heard of men, be a God-hearer.”
