Of The Presence Of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

Jonah 1:1-3(KJV); Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

When a man is in the perfect will of God concerning his life, that man is in the presence of God.

Our theme scripture reveals that when Jonah chose to run away to Tarshish and not go to Nineveh where the Lord had sent him, he consequently went away from the presence of God.

Where God sends you, there is a supply of His presence
When you go in the opposite direction of where He has sent you, to a certain degree, you leave His presence.

So you ought to ask yourself child of God; “Where has God ordained you to be? Where has He sent you to go?”

Do you just wake up in the morning and go where you want to go? Are your footsteps ordered by the Lord?

When you are at work at the job God ordained for you, His presence is with you; you are not alone.

In that business, if the Lord has placed you there, His presence is with you because He sustains what He calls.

As a child of God, learn to respond to His instructions on where to go and where not to go because that determines the degree of His presence available to you.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

When a man is in the perfect will of God concerning his life, that man is in the presence of God.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your Word. This day, I choose to respond to your instruction on where I should go. You order my footsteps and I follow your leading with the full guarantee that your presence goes with me. I live a life perfectly aligned to the will of God; conscious of the fact that you are with me, in me and for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
