THE GUIDE

September 22, 2014


Have you ever seen a genuine blind beggar (Not the ones that would claim they are blind and when you give them torn currency, they would tell you it is not nice to give a beggar torn money)? You would always see someone like a guide with him/her. The guide is the one that dictates to the blind man where they need to go, to make good income and when to go based on the research he would have done. The blind man would follow the guide even if they were entering a well because he trusts that the guide has got his back.

As believers, we have a Guide that is unmatchable in power, wisdom and knowledge. That is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can help the single person make the right choice of a life partner. The Holy Spirit can help the housewife cook the meal that the husband has been dreaming of all through the day. The Holy Spirit can help the businessman know which office to enter with what proposal that will change his life forever. 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.” Open your ears to Him!

One of my mentors once said that if the Holy Spirit says go this way, and it is clear it is a wall without any door, he would not hesitate because it means there is going to be a way there. As long as you rely on your own wisdom, you will be limited, but when you completely depend on your Guide – the Holy Spirit, you will be unlimited and unstoppable because He knows the end from the beginning.

One sure way to be guided is by reading the word of God. God’s word guides us into what God has prepared for us. You can mishear but you can never misread.

Enjoy divine guidance this week!
