KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD

 Acts 22:6-16

KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD

 

   To know the will of God for your life is very important. God has a divine plan for your life; you are not a product of accident. Apostle Paul, from our passage, narrated how he had been zealous for the work God to the point of persecuting the young  church and committing her members to person until he was arrested by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself on his way to Damascus (Acts 22:5-10). Ananias re-interpreted the Damascus Road experience to Paul this way - 

"the God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will..." (v.14). 

All this while, Paul, a Pharisee and teacher of the law, did not know the will of God. The utmost will of God for mankind is salvation through His Son Jesus Christ (1 Tim 2:3-5; John 3:16).

    The implication of Ananias' statement is that the number of years as a church member or priest does not guarantee salvation. Like Paul, you need an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said: 

"Most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born-again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"(John 3:3).

 Are you born-again? If not, it is high time you repented and confessed your sins to Jesus and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. This is so, that all your labours will not be in vain. God has a blueprint for your life (Jer. 29:11) and to know this, seek His face in prayer, read His word and ask the Holy Spirit to direct you. It is an awesome experience to know His will.

PRAYER: Lord God, reveal to me, your will for my life in Jesus Name. Amen.
