Suddenly the same star
“And so they left, and on their way to Bethlehem, suddenly the same star they had seen in the East reappeared! Amazed, they watched as it went ahead of them and stopped directly over the place where the child was.” MATTHEW 2:9 (TPT)
Sometimes it appears that you have missed it.
What did God say to me?
Does it seem that I have lost direction?
God is always faithful to respond when we are in doubt.
Suddenly the same star they had seen at the beginning of their journey reappeared.
Are you at a crossroad today?
Ask Him again for guidance.
He will by His Grace still speak to you to confirm what HE has earlier told you.
“All wisdom comes from the LORD, and so do common sense and understanding.” Proverbs 2:6 (CEV)
“With wisdom, you will learn what is right and honest and fair.” Proverbs 2:9
“And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom, and he will give it! He won’t see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures, but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace.” James 1:5 (TPT)
Don’t stay confused and perplexed as to what is the next thing to do.
Ask Him again.
The same star that initiated your journey and gave you direction earlier will suddenly reappear.

Stop imitating
“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
Romans 12:2 (TPT)
Stop imitating.
Be who God has called you to be.
Joseph stood out amongst his bothers.
Joseph was different from them in the way he spoke (Genesis 37:2). Joseph was a man of truth.
He was different from his brothers in his clothing.
His father made him a present, a unique tunic.
He was different from his brothers in his vision.
You do remember his dreams.
He was not just a dreamer; God was showing him his future.
Even though at the time, he didn’t know what his two dreams meant. Even his father was a bit upset about his dreams.
He was different from his brothers in the way he was living.
He could have lived a life of sin if he wanted to, but he didn’t.
He was alone with Potiphar’s wife, and he still kept his integrity.
The result of being himself?.
He was promoted.
“Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
(Genesis 41:40) KJV
Don’t try to compare with anyone,
Look to Jesus at all times.
Let your desire to be more and more like Him.
Stop copying others.
Your Destiny is unique.

Everyone on the side of truth listens to Me.
Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason, I was born, and for this, I came into the world to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Me” (John 18: 37).
Are you on the side of the truth?
Are you listening to what Jesus is saying to you?
Jesus said His sheep hear His voice and follow.
” My own sheep will hear my voice, and I know each one, and they will follow me. I give to them the gift of eternal life, and they will never be lost, and no one has the power to snatch them out of my hands.”
John 10:27-28 (TPT)
To live and fulfill your God-ordained destiny you must-hear and obey the Lord Jesus
“Hear me, all of you, and understand.” (Mark 7:14)
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Luke 8:8)
“Take care then how you hear.” (Luke 8:18)
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)
” You will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way. Follow it, whether it turns to the right or to the left.” The Lord will give you rain for the seed that you plant in the ground, and the food that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing. When that day comes, your cattle will graze in large pastures.” Isaiah 30:21-23 (GW)
Obedience to what Jesus tells you to do will give you results, including the miracles.
Blind Bartimaeus listened to Jesus and received his sight.
(Mark 10:46-52)
Who are you listening to?
Are you on the Lord’s side?
Who’s On the Lords Side? Song by Rev. Timothy Wright
” I want to know
(Where do you stand?)
Who’s on the Lord’s
(Who’s on the Lord’s side?)……”
