07 May Revelation: Discovering the mind of God concerning all situations
Revelation is an uncovering of what was hidden. We want to look at revelation as a discovery of God’s intent and direction for a life throughout all situations.
The book of Ecclesiastes in chapter 3 especially, makes us understand the different seasons/times/situations in the life of a man.
God is a God of plan and purpose; and for every situation He allows His beloved children to go through, its all for a reason. We should keep in mind always that even though God does not tempt, but when we go through temptations, God would not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bare.
God has a plan in the good and the unpleasant situations of our lives and we must always seek to know His mind in every situations of life.
God sent His only begotten son to die for the sinful world for a purpose, He led the Isrealites through the wilderness for a purpose, He allowed Abraham go through the pains of childlessness for many years for a purpose, He shut the womb of Hannah for a purpose; He allows things happen with His knowledge for His own purpose to be fulfilled.
God is not clueless about your situation; the only person who is clueless about life and its happenings is you if you refuse to enquire from God.
HOW DO I DISCOVER THE MIND OF GOD ABOUT MY SITUATION?
*God’s word is the only divinely certified manual for life
2nd Timothy 3:16…..All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
*The HolySpirit reveals the mind of God to us via different means i.e visions, dreams, intuitions. Who can know the will of the Father, except the Spirit of the Father reveals it to him.
*When you pray, you open up your heart to receive the mind of God concerning you.
*God reveals His will to us via prophets and priests as well. But this has to be handled with discernment because a lot of false prophets have gone out into the world to deceive- Lamentations 3:3
