A better option Bible Reading – Psalm 121
It is better to live your life based on divinely inspired discernment than on experiments. It is better to rely on truth & conviction rather than on trial & error. Life is so short that you can’t afford to spend your whole time experimenting. It is possible to get things right the first time. I do encourage men to stand up if they have fallen, but I also know that like Jesus Christ, you can do without stumbling.
You are so engulfed in a few activities that you may not know which other activities have a direct impact on your life.
Your two eyes can only see a short distance and you need the help of the eyes that sees all things in the world at every microsecond.
Your brain cells do not process every latest information that is released into the world, so you need God to alert you of the ones that will propel you to the next level.
You may be certain about the present, but there is one who wants to reveal the future to you.
You may be trained to have a good assessment of people but you need the one who sees the deep secrets of every heart. Even the world has come to acknowledge that ‘Not all that glitters is gold’. You need the leading of God to pick out the gold among the glittering objects.
Knowing the will of God is so sweet; most times it grants you success with ease. It constantly ushers you into peace, power, progress and prosperity. It is something every man born of a woman should crave to know. It is a better option towards living a successful life.

Bible Reading: Ephesians 5: 11-17
Growing up as a Christian, I heard many believers say “God told me to do it” or “God said so and so thing would happen”. Most times, these all turned out to be lies because the events they prophesied never occurred. Can you imagine a Pastor once said “God instructed me to take a third wife”? I was almost discouraged to doubt the truth that God leads us. Perhaps you’ve had such experiences or right now you hate to hear the phrase “God told me”. Well, just before you give up on the authenticity of the truth that God leads us, I want you to consider a few things.
There are some fake currencies in circulation, but it never discouraged you from spending. Maybe you feel you will be able to know the genuine ones. Also, you know the importance of having some money in your pocket, so no matter the number of fakes in circulation, you are not discouraged from spending. Do you know that the reason why the ‘fake’ exists is because the ‘Real’ had been in existence? So the abuse of the “leading of God” does not erase its reality.
Do you know the importance of knowing God’s will with respect to every area of your life? The Bible explained one of them in Ephesians 5: 17 –
“Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants”(MSG)
“Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (ASV)
You may agree with me that if we are to read this verse another way, it could read “If we do not understand the will of God, we are foolish/careless”. Can you stand this?
Can you imagine if Jesus did not understand God’s will? Then he would have been made a king in his time and die like an average man. Maybe you won’t be saved today. That would have been ‘carelessness’ on Jesus’ part, right? The world system has been designed in such a way that so many things are clamoring for your attention. As a result, if you are nonchalant about knowing God’s will, you may join many Christians who are in a wrong location, growing in a wrong profession and settling for a wrong emotional association. This is just to mention a few examples.
Dearly beloved, I desire that you start craving to know the will of God for yourself and your loved ones. This desire will help you easily digest the steps to recognizing God’s will that we will pass across in our subsequent posts.

Bible Reading: Romans 8: 1- 14
One of the greatest assets of a believer is the potential to discern God’s will. Every believer has the same right to know God’s will for his/her life although not all of us take steps to actualize it. Those who have been able to train themselves to discern the mind of God are seen as great men of God. Whereas, knowing the will of God is similar to a radio station that is always broadcasting signals; if you do not tune your radio frequency to that of the station, you may never get the signals. In like manner, God is always sending signals to all believers, but only a few are tuning to ‘God’s frequency’.
The ability to recognize and actualize God’s will naturally position you in the path of peace, progress and prosperity. But how can you recognize the will of God concerning any area of your life? What do you need to do in order to make sure you always know the mind of God concerning a subject?
The questions I’ve been asked by numerous counselees over the years have informed me that the body of Christ is in dire need of this message. But I believe every believer should be very knowledgeable of this subject.
In the next few months, we will be teaching on this subject. I will like you to inform all your friends and loved ones to join you in benefiting from this message. One easy way they can do this is by freely subscribing to our mailing list viahttp://www.christlifeline.org/mailinglist.html
Our desire is that these teachings will affect your life to the point that unbelievers around you will crave to be like you and when they come to inquire the reason for your success, you will introduce them to Jesus Christ.
