Being Led


Many at times as believers we tend to go ahead of the Good Shepherd (Jesus Christ) and decide to chart our own paths different from the Shepherd’s intention. This normally occurs due to disobedience and leads us to murky waters and we slip and fall since we do not know the uncharted path we chose to walk to.
Believer, the message of today is to choose to be led by God in all aspects of our lives. Let’s start by looking at the following verses
Psalm 32:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
Proverbs 4:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in right paths.
Believers, it is God who leads us on our destinies and therefore we should not depend on our own strength but should always look to Jesus Christ to guide us.
Romans 8:14 New King James Version (NKJV)
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Believers, SINCE we are the sons of God, we should be led by the Spirit of God ALL the time.
Back to our previous sermon of the ‘Three Things’. (Read 1 John 2:16)
Since are led by the Spirit of God.
1.       We should obey the Spirit of God to be led on what we see to overcome the lust of the eyes.
2.       God leads us to a path that will not make us fall in flesh temptations.
Galatians 5:17-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
To be continued
In conclusion, believers, purpose to be led by the Spirit of God in all aspects of your life and do not lead yourself.


This message was brought to you and to be continued by Pastor Mary Mugo. A faithful minister of God who teaches the Word of God and reflects His image to the world through Love.

Serving God Has Never Been in Vain

Image
Sometimes in serving God we may feel like it's all in vain, like there is no benefit to what we are doing. Time and time again God reminds us in His Word that serving Him has never been in vain. Let us look at a few stories from the Bible that demonstrate this, so that you and I can be encouraged to keep serving God, and serve Him with all we have.  2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”  2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”  3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour ...

Overcoming the Enemies of Our Destinies

There are enemies ready and armed to prevent us from getting to our destinies. Wherever there is a vision, there is opposition.  Elisha was given by God to Elijah as a servant, and as a result he received a double portion of the anointing on Elijah's life, when Elijah left (2 Kings 2:15). God in turn gave Gehazi to Elijah as a servant, who sadly could not get to his destiny because he was overcome by the enemies of destiny (2 Kings 5:20-27).  As a Christian, be alert as there are enemies out to hinder you from getting to your destiny, and walking in it.  In John's open letter to the churches in Asia, John addresses these enemies: 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;...

Secrets of a Blessed Man

Let the Word of God always be your mirror, your map to lead you to your blessings. Though we are blessed through faith in Jesus, we need His Word to show us how to live a blessed life, and enjoy the blessings bestowed upon us. Psalm 112:1-10 Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroa...
