EPISODE 530 – TWO CRUCIAL RUDDERS 2

TWO CRUCIAL RUDDERS 2

“A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds” 

James 3:4 (Amplified Bible)

Until a captain skillfully steers his boat, the boat will be directed by the waves and the current of the sea.

There are many, who rise and sleep each day, yet don’t take charge of their lives. They sit to watch things happen without intentionally determining the course of their lives. They allow circumstances or occurrences to control the direction of their lives.

They keep saying “I am trusting the Lord for an intervention.” No!

It doesn’t work like that.

The Lord doesn’t expect you to fold your arms and wait till He does a miracle for you.

God has programmed life in a way that, He will partner with you to produce a miracle.

When the Israelites got to the Red Sea, Moses said “Fear ye not. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you today…”
God’s response was different. God said, “…Moses, tell the people to move forward”. (Exodus 14:13-15).

Moses had to partner with God to see the miracle of the Lord:

“Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the LORD opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind.” Exodus 14:21 (NLT).

When Moses raised His hand, the Lord opened up a path in the direction which Moses’s hand faced. Definitely, when Moses raised his hand, he imagined the Lord making a way for them. Maybe he didn’t see the extent to which God was going to deliver them. But he yielded himself to God’s partnership.

The direction of your life is not automatically steered towards the destination determined by God.

You must take responsibility for how you walk in God’s purpose.

You must take charge! The Lord wouldn’t take the wheel without your involvement.
To direct the course of your life you must partner with God with your spirit; for God is Spirit.

Anything God will do with you, cannot be done without the involvement of your spirit.

Your advancement first begins from your spirit before you see the manifestation in the physical. Anything made by God began in the Spirit.

In the Spirit, there are two crucial rudders you must steer to advance in the right direction of glory.

The first crucial rudder you must steer is your MIND!

Your life will steer towards the direction of your mind.
No matter the anointing upon your life and the great resources at your disposal, you cannot advance beyond the direction of your mind.

There are people with great resources yet have not made great advancements.
The limitation of your life is not the absence of resources.

The limitation of your life is in the limitation of your mind.

You cannot go where your mind has not reached.

“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)

Don’t be limited in your thoughts. God is able to outdo your wildest imagination.

To think is to see with your mind.

Whichever direction your mind sees according to the power of God, will define your manifestation.

God said to Abraham, “… Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.” Genesis 13:14-15 (NLT)

Which direction of success are you seeing now?

Lift up your eyes and see! Don’t limit the imagination of your mind. See and grasp the vision as the Lord inspires your mind with pictures of advancement.

Selah.
