Many Christians are familiar with the phrase “Will of God”, while very few understand it. For those who are new to this phrase, many thoughts come to mind. Did God write a will for me? A will should be written when someone dies right? So was the will written when Jesus died? Some other people only crave for the will of God in their lives when they get to a particular juncture; for example, Marriage. They begin to seek the will of God for them in marriage, having ignored God prior to that.
The will of God is the unique plan that God has for you, so you can achieve his divine purpose. Before you were born, God had a purpose for you. You were not dropped into the earth mistakenly. There is a special purpose for which you were born. The only way to achieve this purpose is by listening and following the one who constructed the purpose. Living outside the will of God for your life leads to dissatisfaction and a miserable outcome.
The question then is; how do you know the will of God for you? Firstly, Be in God. “if any man BE IN CHRIST, he is a new creature”. Being in Christ helps you to know what Christ has purchased for you. Then, Believe God’s word. The bible contains the will of God for your life. If you want to know his plans and provisions for you, then read the bible. Lastly, Build your relationship with God. Develop an intimacy with God. Crave to know him more everyday. In doing that, you become more sensitive to what he wants you to do everyday.
The will of God wheels you to your destiny as you obey him. As you step into your day, watch for those instructions God will be giving you. He will order step in the way you should go, and the outcome is always blissful.
Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
