Know The Way

Scriptural Ground

 

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ (Romans 15:29 NIV).

 

Prayer of Approach

 

You know the paths that I must take, O God, in fulfilling your will, your purposes and your plans for my life. Order my footsteps day by day and moment by moment that I may walk with you in this life. Draw me nearer to you that I may know your mind and discover your will unveiled to me. Put before me that which provides me with direction concerning your will and empower me by your Spirit to enter into all that you set before me. You are the God who, in every generation, puts before your people the truth concerning the ways of life. Grant me the trust that you want me to have concerning your goodness, your faithfulness, your mercy, and your grace. Lead me by your word of truth that I may not walk in darkness. Grant me the ability to take your presence to others as I interact with them that they may desire to know you more deeply. Through the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, receive this prayer. Amen.

 

A Moment With God

 

Our paths are not carelessly arranged by the living God. No, we walk where He wants us to walk according to the choices that we make and in agreement with those who share life with us. At His appointed time His purposes are fulfilled in a manner that glorifies His Name. Through our commitment to follow where He leads we become channels of His activity for good, not only in our own lives but also in the lives of those whom we encounter with His divine permission. There is always the opportunity to discern His presence at work for good in these occurrences. What message is God trying to communicate to me through this encounter? How am I to proceed with the knowledge that I now have? In what way have I represented the presence of Christ as I have shared with others? Has the faith that I have in the working of God been strengthened through this experience? The answers to such questions have the capacity to deepen our awareness of the presence of God abiding with us.

But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. (Jude 20 NIV)

Almighty God, you are the God who calls us to have faith in you. You are worthy of our faith for in countless generations you have faithfully fulfilled your promises. You are the God who saves.

About the Lord


The Bible teaches that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 NIV). It is also written that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23 NIV). Do you know that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 NIV)? It is also written: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24 NIV). Jesus said: "I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20 NIV). Dear friend, what is happening in your life? Are you experiencing the effects of sin, the evidence of death? Jesus died on the cross, bearing your sins so that you would not perish in death. Do hear His invitation to open your being and your life to Him that you may not continue to perish. Say this prayer that you may receive God's gift of eternal life right now: Lord Jesus, there is the presence of sin and the evidence of death in my life. Thank you for bearing my sins on the Cross. I need the gift of eternal life. In your Name, Lord Jesus, I do now open every door of my being and of my life to you. Come in and let me experience all that eternal life is meant to be for me. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Amen.
