Don’t Miss The Lord – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 17th

(Follow The Leading Of The Holy Spirit Always)

TO THE BIBLE: Colossians 1:9
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.”

LET’S TALK
The Book of Genesis tells a touching story about Abraham and his nephew Lot. When God called Abraham to leave his homeland and go to a new country, Lot decided to go with him (Genesis 12:4).

As God blessed Abraham on his journey, Lot was also blessed. They both had so much that the land they were living on couldn’t handle all their herds and flocks.

This led to arguments between Abraham’s herdsmen and Lot’s, until Abraham finally said, “Let’s not have fighting between us, between your shepherds and my shepherds. After all, we’re family. Look around. Isn’t there plenty of land out there? Let’s separate. If you go left, I’ll go right; if you go right, I’ll go left” (Genesis 13:8–9 MSG).

This is where Lot’s trouble began. He saw the lush, green plains of Jordan on one side and the dry, less appealing land on the other. He chose the greener side and set up camp near Sodom, a city known for its wickedness, not realising that God’s judgement was about to come upon Sodom.

When God sent fire to destroy Sodom because of its evil, Lot’s life was spared thanks to Abraham’s prayers. But Lot lost everything he had and ended up hiding in a cave.

This happened to Lot not because he was a bad person—the Bible actually calls Lot a righteous man (2 Peter 2:7-8)—but because he missed God’s guidance.

So, in your life, the best place to be is always in the centre of God’s will. Don’t get carried away by what looks good on the surface or by the flashy things in this world.

Your decisions shouldn’t be based on what your flesh wants, but on the leading of the Holy Spirit.

For instance, don’t move to a new city or country just because it seems like there are better opportunities. You could be making a huge mistake.

The Bible says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12).

Pray:
Dear Father, I lay down my goals, ambitions, aspirations, desires and dreams at your feet. I trust your Word, which is the light that guides me in the path of success, victory, and greatness. Through your Word, I receive direction, illumination and insight into the mysteries and realities of the Kingdom. I recognise and act on God-given opportunities alone, yielded only to the guidance of your Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
