Kenneth E. Hagin is the author of the book ‘How you can be led by the Spirit of God’. In the book he shared the story of a Christian business man in the 1930’s who made his money through following the inward witness of the Holy Spirit.
This man had grown up in great poverty, he never wore a pair of shoes until he was 12 years old and he only had a fifth grade education. However, when he became a Christian, he learned to follow the guidance of the Spirit and through it he greatly prospered and became a millionaire.
This secret of his success was seeking divine direction concerning any investment opportunity instead of relying only on the facts. He would always first seek the face of God before taking any decision. If he didn’t receive an immediate response, he would stay in prayers and reading his Bible for as long as it took to get an answer.
Once he received the divine leading of what to do, though the facts, expert advice and even his mind may be telling him otherwise, he would strictly follow the Spirit’s guidance. As a result, in all his years of investment he never recorded any loss but rather made much profits and became wealthy.
The guidance of the Holy Ghost leads us into profitable living and helps us avoid pitfalls on the road of destiny.
Believers only suffer losses if they refuse to follow divine counsel in their pursuits. No matter how smart or knowledgeable we may be, our brain cannot be more accurate than the Holy Spirit.
Our mind can only relate with past and present events, but the Holy Spirit is the One that has access into the future and knows the end from the beginning. So, it is our greatest advantage to develop a sound walk and relationship with Him. 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 through a lifestyle of prayer 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 guidance. That was why God told Joshua that meditating on His Word was the key to prosperity and success (Joshua 1:8).
It is the blessing of the Lord that makes us rich, not our smartness. Certainly, following God’s plan is what leads to our profitable pursuits in life. Through His guidance we will avoid labouring in vain, enjoy unending breakthroughs and keep breaking forth to higher realms in all our pursuits.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to develop a more intimate relationship with Your Spirit so that I can enjoy divine guidance and profiting in life. By Your grace I shall keep experiencing divine multiplications and speedy progress in all I set my hands to do iin Jesus Name.
