Knowing God's will

KNOWING GOD’S WILL
MAIN TEXT: PSALM 143:10
“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God. Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness”.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:18
In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.


God wants you to know His will; He’s not trying to hide it from you; Do you believe that? So often Christians genuinely wonder and even worry about how to know and do the will of God. You will learn to do the following:
- Believe and experience daily God’s infinite love for you. Hear when God is speaking to you.
- Identify God’s unmistakable activity in your life.
- Believe God to be and do everything He promised.
- Identify the direction God is taking in your life and recognize what he wants to do through you; know dearly how to respond to what God shows you.
- Experience God doing through you what only He can do.
When we understand and know the will of God, the work of God becomes easy to do and it will be done without stress and struggle. When we are working outside the will of God, we struggle and will not achieve good result.
It is important to know God’s will. Jesus said that His true relations are those who know and do the Father’s will: “whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother”. Mark 3:35. In the parable of the two sons, Jesus rebuked the Chief Priest and elders for failing to do the will of the Father, specifically; they did not repent and believe. Matthew 21:32.
At its most basic, the will of God is for us to repent of our sins and trust in Christ. If we have not taken that first step, then we have not yet accepted God’s will.
DO GOD’S WILL AND GOD WILL BOAST ABOUT YOU

Introduction to Divine purpose

THEME: UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIVINE LIFE PURPOSE LESSON ONE: INTRODUCTION MAIN TEXT – PROVERBS 16:1-11 1) DEFINITION Well, there are multiple interpretations of what life purpose is. It may be called a spiritual calling and it can also be seen it as a higher instruction from God. Beyond religious connotations, a life purpose is simply your life’s message. It is the message you wish to drive in the world during your existence on Earth. Having a life purpose applies to all of us, whether we are religious, non-religious, or atheistic. This means that we are made by God to accomplish his desire in our living, so all must come to Him for directions.- Jeremiah 1:4-12. Well, a life purpose is the first step toward living a truly conscious life of your creation. While you can be busy with a million goals and tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose (one that you believe in with your heart), you may well be barking up the wrong tree. That’s because your goals and tasks may well h...

Growing and operating in the sonship of Christ

THEME - UNDERSTANDING WHO WE ARE IN CHRIT LESSON 4 - GROWING AND OPERATING IN THE SONSHIP TEXT - ROMANS 8:14-23 INTRODUCTION-John 14:18 The value that God has over our relationship with him is so great that only He understands it fully. He loves and protects that relationship of father and son, we have with Him. The spirit of Christ dwells in us and this gives us the privilege and right to call ‘’Abba father’’. THE SONSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST-John 1:1-14, 1 John 5:1-3, Luke 1:35 The charge against Jesus, was that He claimed to be the son of God- Matthew 27:43, John 19:7; a claim He never denied but admitted- Luke 22:70. Demons called Jesus the son of God- Luke 4:41, Mark 3:11. Peter revealed it- Matthew 1:15-17. Jesus is the firstborn- Col 1:15 and first begotten- Col 1:18, Heb 1:6, Rev 1:5. As the son, He is same with the father in equality and identity- Isaiah 9:6. In the sense of begotten, it does not mean Jesus has a beginning but it is so, for our understanding of the relat...

Taking our place in God's Dominion mandate

THEME: Understanding who we are in Christ LESSON 5: Taking our place in God’s dominion mandate MAIN TEXT: Colossian 1:15-20 INTRODUCTION God gave man the dominion mandate in Genesis 1:26-28 but we cannot fully understand and operate in the dominion mandate without a relationship with Jesus Christ because in Him lies the fullness of all things and the dominion over all are under Him as the Lord of all. Matthew 28:18. 1 Peter 3:22. And we are complete in Christ. THE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST – Ephesians 1:20-23, Daniel 7:14 Jesus Christ is Lord over all because He is God. God rules over all things by His providential control – Psalm 103:19. He has achieved the final victory over sin and death through His resurrection and ascension. Christ has authority over all believers and unbelievers – Matthew 20:18. The implication of the dominion of Christ: i) He is truly the King of kings and Lord of lords – Revelation 19:16. (ii)He is the blessed and only potentate – 1 Timothy 6:15. (iii)He...
