In today’s Bible reading, a man called Saul of Tarsus, who had been persecuting the Church of Christ, was on his way to Damascus to arrest Christians and bring them back to Jerusalem to be thrown into prison. On the way to Damascus, however, Jesus Christ appeared to him, and he experienced a divine redirection. He had been on the wrong path, persecuting Christians and God’s work on the earth, but God intercepted and redirected him, placing him on the right path. I pray that if you are currently going in the wrong direction in your life, the Almighty God will redirect you to the right path, in Jesus’ name.
Mary Magdalene was another person who experienced a divine redirection. In , before she met Jesus, she was tormented by seven demons. One demon is enough to ruin a person’s life and destiny, but Mary had seven. Satan had planned the perfect plot to destroy her, but Jesus intervened and redirected her life. He delivered her, and she later became one of the first people to see Him after His resurrection. In , she had a glorious encounter with the risen Lord, and she went to tell the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had spoken to her. A woman who was demon-possessed became a credible witness of the Lord. I pray that you will have a special divine encounter, and if you are on the wrong path in any area of your life, I decree that your steps shall be redirected aright, in Jesus’ name.
Some years ago, we held a crusade in Lagos, and one young man, who happened to be a member of a gang of highway robbers, came to the crusade venue with a revolver. However, God arrested him, and he gave his life to Jesus Christ and surrendered his gun. A few days later, every member of the gang was killed during a robbery operation. Fortunately for him, he didn’t go with them because he had become born again. He was going in the wrong direction, but he came across the light of God, and God saved him from destruction.
Beloved, if you are going in the wrong direction in your life right now, I pray that the light of God will stop you. I pray that God will intercept and redirect you for His glory, in Jesus’ name.
