Chosen To Know His Will
And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen
thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see
that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his
mouth (Acts 22:14).
The unregenerate man can’t discern or walk
in the will of God; God’s will and ways of
doing things are mysterious to him. 1 Corinthians 2:14
says, “But the natural man receiveth not the things
of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto
him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.” But this isn’t so for you that
are born again. Jesus said it’s given to you to know
the mysteries of the Kingdom of God (Mark 4:11,
Luke 8:10). You’re chosen to know God’s will. It’s our
heritage in Christ.
This means there shouldn’t be doubts or
uncertainties in your life; you can discern, and walk in
God’s perfect will at all times. Some Christians have
been in situations where they didn’t know God’s will;
they were trying to make a decision and didn’t know
what to do. No! That shouldn’t be your experience.
In Colossians 1:9, we read something instructive.
The Christians in Colosse, at the time of Paul’s epistle,
were still babies in Christ. So, Paul and Timothy prayed
for them to be filled with the knowledge of God’s
will: “For this cause we also…do not cease to pray
for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with
the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding.” They couldn’t have been praying for
the Colossian Christians to be filled with the knowledge
of God’s will if they themselves hadn’t been filled with
the knowledge of His will.
It’s part of the reasons we emphasize meditating
on the Word, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
God and His Word are one, and His Word is His will
expressed. More so, the Word of God is the wisdom of
God, and wisdom is walking in the will of God. Get to
know the Word, and you’ll never walk in confusion.
Ephesians 1:9 tells us that God has made known
unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good
pleasure, which He had purposed in Himself. Even
now, say to yourself, “I’m chosen to know God’s
will. I have insight into mysteries and secrets of the
Kingdom.” Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for choosing me to know your will.
As I meditate on the Word, and fellowship with the Spirit, your
will is unveiled to my spirit; my spirit is enlightened, and I have
insight into mysteries and secrets.
