The Path

Every path we make with Him leads us to a place of His plan for our lives. The path isn’t always an easy one; it doesn’t appear the way we desire. If we follow that path, in the end, there’s a promised land waiting, a Canaan of peace is found.

Yes, we have our own ways of thinking and seeing things, but at times the ways we may have chosen may not lead us to a destination He divinely destined for us.
It doesn’t matter where we are today; what matters is where He wants us to be.
It doesn’t matter where we are going, what matters is where He has sent us.

That afternoon, two sisters came to me, smiling, they said, “Bro. Kanayo, please, we want you to preach on Sunday on youth week” I responded, “I am not a pastor; you people should look for a pastor.” They pleaded, I refused because I didn’t choose that path, yes, I didn’t choose to be a personality in the House of God, I chose to just go to church, worship God in truth and in Spirit and go home.

I chose to be just a simple church person, not entangled in anything complicated in the church to a rather committed level.

I denied myself, not knowing, but God didn’t deny me. I refused myself, yet God didn’t refuse me. Yes, I rejected who I am, yet God didn’t reject me.

During midweek service, God spoke out very loud through the mouth of His servant in a church prayer meeting, “Kanayo pick your Bible, go into the world and tell them about me” I stood sober, because I didn’t want that path, I have a path for myself, I don’t want to be a teacher of the Gospel but a teacher of other things, like Science, tech, and arts.

While those sisters discussed with me and I refused them the Holy Spirit was there listening.
It doesn’t matter what we have chosen to be, but what God has called us to be; in doing what God has called us to be, we find absolute peace.
There’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey Him, pick your cross and follow that path.

After the church service, those girls came back again to me in all smiles and said, “Kanayo, you’ve heard it, so you’ll preach in the church on Sunday” This time around, I accepted because I couldn’t deny myself further when God hadn’t denied me.

They gave me the theme. It isn’t about the topic or the theme, it’s about what God wants His people to know in that season, that Saturday night I received just two verses which I shared to the congregation, I am not a Pastor you know, I am just a teacher, I only need to read and explain effortlessly, I don’t need to jump up to explain anything.

As I picked up the microphone, I felt a breeze of peace and calm from the east wing. It doesn’t matter how comfortable you are in your space; you can only find absolute peace when you follow His steps.
I read the first and second verses and began to explain. At a point, I left this human realm. I was seeing the beyond; I wasn’t seeing seats or humans anymore. The things I was saying were coming from where my spirit ascended to.

It was a moment of revival. I was surprised in a way that those little things I said could cause a revival and an altar call when I didn’t call anyone, as I was teaching people who were coming, kneeling at the altar without invitation.

Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

If you follow men, they will mislead you; if you trust in men, they will deceive you. There’s only one person we can follow and not be deceived at last: there’s only one man who knows the path of God’s plan for us, the gentleman Jesus.
Yes, it takes time and patience, but hang on still and follow Him.
