DAILY READING; Acts 17:16-34; Judges 7-8; Job 37
Kenneth Max Copeland is the founder and president of Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM).
Before his ministry began, Kenneth Copeland desired divine guidance concerning God’s will for his life..
In 1967, he got admitted to Oral Roberts University where he became Oral Roberts’ co-pilot and chauffeur. As part of the flight crew, he attended all Oral Robert’s tent meetings and crusades.
As he continued attending the Bible school, he was quite unsure of what direction his life would take. And so he began to seek God’s face to know what to do. One day in March 1967, Kenneth knew the Lord was trying to tell him something and so he went to a quiet place to pray and listen.
That day, he received God’s call to ministry.
There, as he stood before The Lord, he heard within him, the voice of God, calling him to preach the gospel to the nations. Afterwards Kenneth meditated on what God told him.
He had no money, and there were no meetings scheduled, but he was quite convinced he had clearly heard God. So he began to spiritually prepare to preach to the “nations”. And as he began to step out by faith God began to open doors.
On September 7, 1967, Kenneth Copeland Ministries was birthed.
Calls for him and his wife to minister in various places started coming in. From then on, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland have been preaching the Gospel all around the world. And Up till today they continue to preach the uncompromised Word of God to the nations.
Indeed we need the voice of God to show us the way forward. Those times when we are at crossroads or filled with confusion not knowing what exactly God wants us to do, these are the times we need to get still and wait upon God to hear His voice of divine direction.
There will be times we may not know the definite directions to take in life. But God always knows what is best for us. This is why we must seek Him for guidance. When we commit ourselves to calling upon God through prayers,, He will show us great and mighty things.
In Jeremiah 33:3, God said: “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”.
Indeed God guides the steps of His children who seek Him in prayer.
When we pray the price, the Holy Spirit, will be our shepherd, leading us to our green pastures in life.
Through His guidance we will enjoy profiting and progress in every area of life.
However, to be led by the Spirit of God, we must be able to recognize His voice. This comes from spending quality time in prayers and meditating on the Word.
When we meditate on the Word of God, we are training our human spirit to recognize God’s voice and be more in tune with what He says to us.
When we finally receive the desired divine guidance, we will experience peace and calm assurance of knowing that God is in perfect control of our lives.
Failure to pay the required spiritual price of prayer is what causes men to walk in fear, anxiety, and worry.
The truth is that, either you will labor spiritually to hear God’s voice and be at rest or you will find yourself always anxious and plagued by uncertainties..
Today, as we commit to living a life of diligently seeking God’s guidance, surely, He will lead us into the great and mighty plans He has lined up for us this year.
PRAYER: Lord, please give me the strength to diligently seek Your face in my life’s journey. Thank You Lord, for granting me the wisdom to discern Your voice and always follow Your divine instructions in Jesus Name.
