TOPIC: REVELATION AND DIRECTION FOR PRESERVATION
SCRIPTURE: And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 1 Kings 17:2-3
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Where instruction is lacking, destruction is abundant.
The Scriptures make it clear that there is a direct relationship between Divine direction or revelation and Divine preservation. That is why, the more divinely directed you are, the more protected you are. The more directed you are, the more delivered you are. Divine direction or revelation is key to Divine deliverance.
On the other hand, where instruction is lacking, destruction is abundant (Hosea 4:6). Where the people lack knowledge, they cannot lack disaster.
Now, let us look at Elijah as one scriptural example of people who experienced preservation as a result of Divine direction. God delivered Elijah from the wicked Ahab and Jezebel by Divine direction.
1 Kings 17:2-3 says, And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide (That is, ‘you can call down fire but there is a time to hide’) thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
God seemed to have told Elijah, “I am the only One who knows why I want you to hide. I am not saying you lack faith now; I am only saying, you should use your faith for other more important things. This time is the time to hide.”
That instruction delivered Elijah. But if Elijah had said: “Oh! I have already shut the heavens and there is no rain falling. Any devil who wants to dare me can come.” Then he may have been cut short before his time.
Beloved, Divine direction is the aversion of destruction. satanic destruction of lives can be averted by the force of Divine direction.
I announce to you today, by Divine direction, no devil can cut you short before your time.
Remember this: Where instruction is lacking, destruction is abundant.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Let God lead you in all things; enquire from God before you take a step.
- Refuse to be led by the flesh; ensure the direction you receive is in line with God’s Word.
- Pay attention to the preaching in Church; your word of direction can come through the preached Word.
PRAYER: Lord, You are my Shepherd. I ask that You lead me through Your perfect Will to the place You want me to be in life and destiny, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
