are you in a place in your life? Are you saying, John,

I want to live the victorious Christian life. I want God to lead me.

I won't God to direct my steps. I want God to make sure

that you know I'm not going off track. I'm living the kind of life

that He wants me to live the life that He has ordained for my life.

And I want to ask you this question today. Yes, you want

to do that, but one of the keys to actually live that kind of

a life is to follow what the Bible says. In one of the most

familiar verses in the Bible that most people quote and most people memorize ever since

they're young, and it is found in Proverbs Scepter three, verse six.

Acknowledge God in all your ways, and he will direct your steps. Acknowledge

God in all your ways, and He will direct your steps. When I

look at the Nulty version of the same verse, it says, seek God's

will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Seek God's will in all you do. Acknowledge God in everything that you

do. Guys, I want you to understand this. This is something that

sounds very simple, something that we have heard a lot of times. But

today I pray that this will become the reality of your life. You know,

we know this theoretically. Yes, I need to be led by God.

I need God to direct my steps. But the question is, sometimes

we are so engrossed in what we do, engrossed in where we go,

engrossed in whatever we are speaking, whatever we're doing, what our everyday activities,

that sometimes we just forget to acknowledge God in that, we forget to

see God's will in that. Today I pray in the name of Jesus Christ

that this will go as a powerful reminder for you guys, to get into

that place where, even in the simple things, even in everyday activities,

you get to that place where you say, God, what do you want

me to do? Where do you want me to go? And I'm telling

you God wants to direct every detail of your life. Everything. God wants

to lead. See for example, as a minister. Sometimes you know,

Okay, God, I'm going to record five messages lead me. You know,

like, but in everything, God, what is it you want me

to speak? Where do you want me to go? Sometimes you know,

I can have a lot of head knowledge, but I'm like God, I

don't want to preach out of head knowledge. I want to preach what you

want. I don't want to put a post out of what I know.

I want you to lead me. Just yesterday or on my What's Up broadcast?

Okay, there's a ministry What's Up broadcast? In case you guys are

interested, you can reach out to me through social media or anything, and

I can add you through those. So I send out, you know,

like one of those everyday links. And sometimes you know, as the Lord

leads, I send out an inspirational message I say or some word that the

Lord just puts in my heart. I don't spam people, but maybe one

or two messages in a day. And and this is the thing. You

know, yesterday, the Lord just led me to send out a message about

you know, like speaking in tongues. And you know, one person just

reached out to me and she said, you know what, she lost her

husband a couple of months ago, and you know, the Lord who had

been speaking to her saying, you know, speak in tongues, speaking in

tongues, and she was kind of like hesitating and has she just saw my

messages. She said that was like a confirmation. This was like exact thing

that God wanted me to do. And she put on some praise and worship

music and she said she started speaking in tongues and the Lord just took over

and she said, John, you know, after so many years, this

is something like wow moment for me. And I'm telling you guys, that

is what it is. You know, I could just give out some message,

but I don't want to give some message. I want the message that

will reach the right people at the right time. And I'm telling you guys,

that is exactly what God wants to do with your life. Even in

your workplace, even what you speak with your colleagues, even in your school,

in your college, what you speak everything, God can use it for

the extension of His kingdom. When you acknowledge God, when you seek His

will in whatever you do. I'll give you another example. As I remember

while I was in college. You know, I used to go in a

certain direction to fetch water. That was the easiest way to go. But

suddenly one day, uh, you know, as I was just saying,

God, you know, lead me, God said, go in a different

route. It was a longer way, a longer way to go there,

and so I just went in this other way. As I was walking that

way, I stepped into a moment when there was a heated discussion based on

the word of God between two people and they're like, John, John,

John, You're the right person for this. And I ended up stepping in

and you know, clarifying you know, the doubt that they had based on

God's word, and you know, uh, setting the thing in, you

know, in the right place. You know, you see, these these

are simple things. But God will use those simple things to show you that,

you know what, Listen, when you acknowledge me, even in simple

things, God you want me to use the regular way to walk? You

know, Sometimes I do that, like God, do you want me to

go this way or as the Lord leads? You know? And God will

say, go in a different route, and I ended up meeting somebody,

and I end up blessing somebody, encouraging somebody. You know. That's the

way God wants to direct every step in your life. Guys. Sometimes even

in simple things, I just choose to obey God. God, do you

want me to go this way or that way? God? Do you want

me to do this or not? God? What do you want me to

say? Even in every day when I go to work, you know,

in every step, you know, even when I'm going to talk to people,

or you know, even yes, I like to be free and I'm

bubbly and free and all of that stuff. But then even in that,

I keep praying God, you know what, letting my words be a blessing

to people. Let my presence be a blessing in my team. I keep

praying, I keep acknowledging God, I keep speaking in tongues. And you

know, the more you keep, you know, carrying the presence of God,

Guys, that's how you will see God direct your steps and that's how

you will also be a blessing to people. That's what God wants to do.

One more example and I'm going to close. So when I was in

the university another example. I love this example. So I'm the kind of

person who's like, you know, I want to get something done so that

I can sit at home and study. For the example, because the exams

was around the corner, so I was in my boarding. I was there

and that morning I heard that I had to go to the you know university,

you know which was I was. I was in the boarding, so

I had to walk into the university in the hot sun and get some registrations

done. And when I asked a lot of Lord, shall I go now?

God said, don't go, now go in the afternoon. God gave

me that clear words saying don't go now go in the afternoon. And I

was like, God, are you serious? And and I was like,

okay, you know this is what you want me to do. I just

let God lead me. And I was sitting and studying, and there were

the others who went in the morning, and by afternoon we got an information

that there was another registration that had to be done and those who went in

the morning had to go back again in the afternoon to get that done,

you know what I mean. So when I went in the afternoon, I

was able to do both in one go and come back. You know,

even in a simple thing like that, God was directing my steps in Guys,

that is what God wants to do in every detail of your life.

In your workplace, maybe God is going to tell you, hey, do

this, this is going to be a better way for you to do.

Or maybe God is going to give you an idea or a strategy that's going

to be better than what you imagine. That's what God wants to do today.

I pray in the name of Jesus that this worse Probobs three six will

become a reality of your life, not just something you memorize, not just

something that you have one Bible quizzes or exams in the past, but it's

something that becomes your lifestyle where you acknowledge and see God's will in everything that

you do, and you will see God lead you every step along the way.
