You Can Discern And Walk in God'serfect Will. Monday, Pastor Anita Oyakhilome

Thy word is a lamp unto my
feet, and a light unto my
path (Psalm 119:105).
As believers in Christ, we’re
enjoined to grow unto
maturity in the things of
God (Ephesians 4:13).
This admonition is not just
for some class of Christians,
such as ministers of the
gospel, but for every child
of God. A clear evidence of
spiritual maturity is the
ability to discern and walk in
God ’s perfect will for your
life. God’s Word is His will
expressed. And as the
Psalmist describes in our
opening scripture, the Word
is a lamp; it ’s a light which
gives direction and guidance.
So, you need to know God ’s
Word, as that’s the only
way you can understand and
walk in His perfect will for
you.
Often times, God’s will is
different from what natural
signs tell you, and what your
feelings or those around you
may tell you. The things of
God don ’t appeal to the
senses, for they are
spiritually discerned: “But
the natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit
of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither
can he know them, because
they are spiritually
discerned” (1 Corinthians
2:14).
This is why it’s so vital that
you know the Word, and are
acquainted with God ’s Spirit
through fellowship. Galatians
5:16 says “This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit, and ye
shall not fulfil the lust of
the flesh. ” Walking in the
Spirit means walking in the
light of God ’s Word, being
able to discern and walk in
His perfect will,
notwithstanding what your
senses tell you.
Praying fervently and
consistently in tongues is
equally very important in
discerning and walking in
God ’s perfect will, as it
keeps your spirit attuned
and sensitive to the Holy
Spirit. As Pastor Chris says,
prayer times are moments of
heavenly glory and spiritual
ecstasy as your spirit is
refreshed and your
sensitivity to the Spirit is
enhanced. As you fellowship
with the Lord through
prayer it becomes easier for
you to receive direction and
guidance in your spirit.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I’m so
grateful for the privilege of
feeding on your Word this
day. I thank you for
ordering my steps and
directing my paths by your
Word and the Holy Spirit
who is at work in me to
know your will and walk
therein, in Jesus ’ Name.
Amen.
