Finding God's perfect will.

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.”                  
Acts 13:1-2(KJV)

Prior to the time that the Lord spoke this words concerning Paul and Barnabas in our opening scripture, Paul had already been in the ministry for close to thirteen years. Yet the Lord said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.”

So, being engaged in Church doesn't mean that you are already in God's perfect will for your life. For instance, you can have a talent in music, but that doesn't mean that you should produce an album.

That was the same thing Saul experienced, he had been in the ministry teaching the Word of God, yet the Holy Ghost said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” Therefore, even though he had been in the ministry for thirteen years, he was not doing exactly what God wanted him to do.

Have you discovered exactly what God wants to do with your life? Have you discovered God's perfect will for your life? If you haven't, I will encourage you to follow through with this month's devotional prayerfully and expect God to speak to you even as you do.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I acknowledge that you created me and knew me before I was born. Today, I ask that you give unto me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of your perfect will and purpose for my life  in Jesus Name. Amen.
