```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE (DDMM)```
♦ *TOPIC: LED BY THE SPIRIT OR SELF. Part 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
The choices some of us have made in time past could either be traced to the leading by self and not by the Spirit of God because the scriptures declares in Isaiah 48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out..... when God led them, they thirsteth not but how come the same God will be leading us today and yet we will be thirsting? Something is wrong, isn't it?
The reason is simple, we are simply bankrupt of knowledge. The flow of water out of the desert connotes the constant inspiration or revelation of the spirit through intense seasons.
Now, let's come back to Luke 4:1 Jesus was full of the Spirit and the result of that was that He was led down into a wilderness and was tempted by the devil. Are you kidding me? How can a man be full of the Spirit and yet be led by the Spirit (not a demonic spirit but Holy Spirit) into the wilderness and not to play or rest or relax but to be tempted? It is unbelievable, isn't it?
Yes, it is but Jesus didn't faint in those seasons because water gushed out for him in that wilderness constantly in other words, the word of the Lord wasn't scarce for him. That was what it means when Isaiah said, "....they thirsteth not when He led them..." Someone may be saying, am not sure about what you are saying. Well, let's look at scriptures again.
Did you remember that they cried to Moses while in the wilderness for food? Did you remember they complained and grumble for water? Did you remember they almost grieved God and Moses pleaded on their behalf? Am sure you do but what was the outcome?
During those times, God's word was not always scarce, the word always comes to Moses about what to do to give the people what they needed. That's what it means. It wasn't that, while going through the wilderness, they had no downturns or downtimes and even seasons when they had to murmur or grumble but it was because, they always had a way made for them by the voice of the Spirit in other words, the voice of the Lord was not scarce but was readily available.
*Insights For Today: If you're led by His Spirit, you are His true son and daughter but that does not negate the fact that, you may encounter challenges on the way.*
*_Prayer Point: Dear Lord, I ask for your leading voice, help me to be sensitive enough to hear from your Holy Spirit Lord in Jesus name. keep walking by faith_*
