“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One
of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which
leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go” (Isaiah 48:17).
Divine
guidance is a covenant; God is committed to guiding the believer, but
one thing that continually contests for a place in man’s heart as an
alternative to divine direction is expertise. That has to do with
knowledge, skill and competence. A man who banks on his expertise would
say, “I have sufficient knowledge, I have good understanding of this
issue, I am a man of myself, I am competent.”
In this Kingdom, competence is not a guarantee for success in life. Apostle Paul said in I Corinthians1:27, “…God
hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and
God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things
which are mighty.” There are many people who are super-qualified in
terms of degrees and papers; they have the facts yet they are
struggling in life because they lack direction. There are others who
don’t have as much qualifications yet they are doing exploits, all doors
open to them, because they are directed by God. Many people disqualify
themselves from getting God’s best in life by relying on their skills
and knowledge. Please understand that what obtains in the world does not
obtain in the kingdom of God. The fact that you can speak good grammar
for instance, doesn’t make you a preacher.
