0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.

0:48 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:50 Speaker 2: the Soul with John gift of podcast. And as you

0:53 Speaker 2: might have seen that, we are doing a series on

0:56 Speaker 2: finding clarity in life. Just started out initially, we started

1:01 Speaker 2: with a segment where Senstor Michael and I were talking

1:05 Speaker 2: to you about, you know, a brief manner of looking

1:09 Speaker 2: at getting clarity in life. And since yesterday I've been

1:12 Speaker 2: talking about various aspects and going a little deeper to

1:16 Speaker 2: remind you to get into your spirit that you and

1:19 Speaker 2: I need to get to that place where we are

1:21 Speaker 2: walking in clarity because one of the things that a

1:23 Speaker 2: lot of people are dealing with is the aspect of John.

1:27 Speaker 2: You know what, I'm not able to get clarity in life?

1:30 Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do? How do I take

1:33 Speaker 2: the right step? What is the right thing that God

1:35 Speaker 2: wants me to do? How do I discern God's will? See?

1:38 Speaker 2: The thing is this, you know. One of the aspects

1:41 Speaker 2: I spoke to you yesterday, which I believe is such

1:43 Speaker 2: a foundation, is that you need to get to a

1:45 Speaker 2: place where you get your relationship with God to a

1:48 Speaker 2: four place where you can hear God for yourself, because

1:52 Speaker 2: that is the key. Because a lot of times we say,

1:55 Speaker 2: you know, hearing God comes later in the picture. But

1:57 Speaker 2: I believe that if you can put God in the beginning,

2:00 Speaker 2: When you can put hearing God in the beginning, when

2:02 Speaker 2: you are making sure that your a first step that

2:06 Speaker 2: you take is to get to that place where you

2:08 Speaker 2: can hear the voice of God. I'm going to talk

2:09 Speaker 2: more about it in the days to come, But if

2:11 Speaker 2: you can get to that place where you hear the

2:13 Speaker 2: voice of God with more clarity in your life, I

2:16 Speaker 2: believe that everything else will automatically take the right place.

2:20 Speaker 2: So my challenge to each one of you another the

2:21 Speaker 2: sound of my voice is get to that place where

2:23 Speaker 2: you are intentional and saying God, I want to hear

2:26 Speaker 2: your voice. Not just spending time with God in the

2:29 Speaker 2: sense of just reading the Bible and praying, but being

2:32 Speaker 2: intentional about receiving the word from the Lord, Therama word

2:36 Speaker 2: from God, that's spoken word from God, revelations from God,

2:39 Speaker 2: encountering God and receiving her word from the Lord in

2:43 Speaker 2: the sense of hearing his voice in your spirit. Now

2:46 Speaker 2: today I want to talk about one important aspect with

2:48 Speaker 2: regard to getting clarity, where a lot of people say,

2:51 Speaker 2: you know what, I do not know where God wants

2:53 Speaker 2: me to go. I do know. I mean, can I

2:54 Speaker 2: tell you something? I know? There is a sense or

2:57 Speaker 2: there is a place where God gives us clarity in

2:59 Speaker 2: terms of you know, visions or dreams that got placed

3:03 Speaker 2: and said, you know, this is where you're going to

3:05 Speaker 2: see yourself or maybe you know, you know you see

3:07 Speaker 2: yourself like how Joseph and he was a young boy,

3:10 Speaker 2: he saw he saw himself in a place of leadership.

3:14 Speaker 2: He saw, you know, like there's something big in front

3:17 Speaker 2: of him. Even though he was coming from a limited

3:19 Speaker 2: environment he saw something, you know, like maybe when I

3:23 Speaker 2: look at myself. You know, I always saw myself somewhere

3:27 Speaker 2: out there, you know, on media, ministering, traveling, and preaching,

3:32 Speaker 2: and you know, I saw this ever since I was young,

3:34 Speaker 2: seeing myself, you know, on media and creative spaces, ever

3:38 Speaker 2: since I was young. Nobody forced myself to do it.

3:41 Speaker 2: But this was something that was in me, even though

3:44 Speaker 2: on the outside it looked like I was not anywhere

3:48 Speaker 2: near it. You get what I'm saying. So God gives

3:50 Speaker 2: you clarity in the sense of something like a vague

3:54 Speaker 2: vision or a dream that He placed in you, like

3:57 Speaker 2: he gave the dreams to Joseph. He gives you that

4:00 Speaker 2: The step to take starts from you taking one step

4:04 Speaker 2: at a time. God is not going to give you direction,

4:07 Speaker 2: like you know what I want you to go from,

4:10 Speaker 2: you know, like instance, for instance, right you're going from

4:12 Speaker 2: one city to another city. If you're taking the help

4:17 Speaker 2: of Google Maps or GPS, what happens, It's not going

4:22 Speaker 2: to tell you. You know what, Let me give you

4:24 Speaker 2: all the steps from here to that location. You know,

4:27 Speaker 2: Take this left and then take this right, Take this left,

4:30 Speaker 2: take this right, go straight for a mile, and then

4:34 Speaker 2: take this, you turn. You know, it's not going to

4:37 Speaker 2: do that. What is going to do? It's going to say,

4:38 Speaker 2: let's start here, let's keep going. When I need to

4:42 Speaker 2: tell you something, I'm going to tell you that you

4:44 Speaker 2: get what I'm saying. The Bible says in Proverbs three,

4:48 Speaker 2: verse six, we all love this verse, and most of

4:50 Speaker 2: us would have memorized this verse ever since we were young.

4:54 Speaker 2: It is acknowledge God in all your ways, and He

4:58 Speaker 2: will direct your steps right. And the Bible also says

5:01 Speaker 2: in Psalms under the nineteen one not five, that divert

5:05 Speaker 2: is a lamp unto my feet and a light onto

5:07 Speaker 2: my path. The word of God is not like the

5:10 Speaker 2: sun lighting up the whole space. It's like a lamp

5:13 Speaker 2: which will give you light to your feet and a

5:16 Speaker 2: light unto your path. It's not going to give you

5:19 Speaker 2: the full clarity. God is not going to give you

5:22 Speaker 2: everything in a single goal, because he wants you to

5:26 Speaker 2: depend on him every step along the way. Now, for instance,

5:30 Speaker 2: you know, if I were to call in a few

5:33 Speaker 2: children and say, hey, you know what, I'm going to

5:35 Speaker 2: take you to us what nice place? Come with me?

5:39 Speaker 2: You know through the entire trip they're going to be like, hey,

5:42 Speaker 2: you know what, where are we going? I'm excited? Where

5:45 Speaker 2: are you taking me? You know, they've got to be

5:47 Speaker 2: in constant fellowship with me. And then if I go

5:49 Speaker 2: and finally take them to maybe a place they love,

5:52 Speaker 2: maybe an amusement park, they're going to be like, oh

5:56 Speaker 2: my gosh, this is so good. I didn't expect this.

5:58 Speaker 2: This is awesome. And then they're going to be so excited.

6:01 Speaker 2: But if I were to tell them right in the beginning,

6:05 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to take you through this

6:06 Speaker 2: amusement park. I want you to just be prepped for it.

6:11 Speaker 2: You know what, They're not going to talk to me

6:12 Speaker 2: thuring the ride. They're going to be so excited. They're

6:14 Speaker 2: going to really like, you know what, I'm going to

6:15 Speaker 2: go on this ride. I'm going to do this today.

6:18 Speaker 2: I'm going to try out this particular you know ride

6:22 Speaker 2: which my parents do not allow me to drive when

6:25 Speaker 2: I was younger. So they're going to be so caught

6:27 Speaker 2: up or you know, only about the destination that they're

6:31 Speaker 2: not going to be focused on spending time with me,

6:35 Speaker 2: fellowshiping with me, or talking to me. See, that's the

6:38 Speaker 2: same principle the reason why God doesn't give us all

6:41 Speaker 2: the details. Is because He wants to us to be

6:44 Speaker 2: dependent on him every step along the way. You know,

6:48 Speaker 2: He's going to lead us step by step by step. Today,

6:51 Speaker 2: I want you to understand that God may not have

6:53 Speaker 2: given you the full picture, but he has given you

6:57 Speaker 2: something to get started. I want you to start with

7:00 Speaker 2: what He has given you. Get started like GPS. You start, Okay,

7:06 Speaker 2: I need to take a step here, I need to

7:08 Speaker 2: go straight over here, I need to take a left

7:11 Speaker 2: over here. Start and God will fill you up. The

7:15 Speaker 2: Bible says in Isaiah fifty eight eleven, the Lord will

7:19 Speaker 2: guide you always. In other words, I want you to

7:23 Speaker 2: understand that He's a God who guides you, like how

7:26 Speaker 2: you have these guide posts or when you're traveling, what

7:29 Speaker 2: happens there is or all of these posts billboards or

7:33 Speaker 2: not billboards, I'm sorry, it's guidepost which tells you, you know,

7:38 Speaker 2: to this location, you need to turn to left or

7:41 Speaker 2: turn to the right, or you know this many miles

7:44 Speaker 2: to the next destination or to this particular location. So

7:49 Speaker 2: all of those things. So God is like that, He's

7:51 Speaker 2: going to guide you when he needs to guide you.

7:53 Speaker 2: He may not necessarily give you all the details right

7:57 Speaker 2: up front, but he trusts that you can take a

8:00 Speaker 2: step right now with the information he's given you, and

8:03 Speaker 2: as you keep going, He's going to fill you up

8:05 Speaker 2: with what he needs to tell you. And I just

8:08 Speaker 2: want to close with one more important thing that I think,

8:11 Speaker 2: you know you really need to hear, is that you know,

8:14 Speaker 2: God is a faithful God, He's a loving father. He

8:18 Speaker 2: just wants you to trust him that if He has

8:23 Speaker 2: given you some information, he expects of you to work

8:26 Speaker 2: on that information. So when I started the ministry, you know,

8:30 Speaker 2: today we have the podcast in this format reaching you know,

8:34 Speaker 2: thousands or millions of people. Eventually, you know, through different platforms,

8:38 Speaker 2: I'm reaching millions of people, and I'm grateful to God

8:41 Speaker 2: for all of that. But here's the thing, right, here's

8:44 Speaker 2: the thing, here's the thing I want you to understand.

8:47 Speaker 2: You know, it all started with me starting with what

8:51 Speaker 2: God gave me, or what here information he gave me,

8:54 Speaker 2: was to just try sending voice notes on WhatsApp. That's

8:58 Speaker 2: how I started industry, way back over thirteen years ago,

9:02 Speaker 2: just voice notes. People laughed and mocked even I was like,

9:07 Speaker 2: what kind of an idea of this is? In fact,

9:10 Speaker 2: I never knew there was something called podcast. I didn't

9:12 Speaker 2: know somebody would even value what I was doing. But

9:16 Speaker 2: one led to another, one led to another, and here

9:19 Speaker 2: we are. So that's what I want to challenge each

9:23 Speaker 2: one of us that you know, we start a little

9:25 Speaker 2: by little, trusting Him every step along the way, and

9:28 Speaker 2: He will definitely lead us through. And that's how you

9:32 Speaker 2: will get clarity on the way God wants us to

9:36 Speaker 2: go with cut to our life and men, God bless you.
