Walking in divine clarity

- Erasmus Makarimayi

WE enter 2021 at the backdrop of a globally challengin­g year. We physically prepare and plan for the new year, while leaning on somewhat uncertaint­y. In general, church denominati­ons or assemblies give prophetic messages or themes for the season. COVID-19 threw some 2020 if not many “prophecies” into derailment. What’s is God saying getting into 2021?

God is always speaking. He spoke, is speaking and shall continue to speak. The ultimate voice of God is Jesus Christ or His revelation in the Grace of God or the Gospel of Christ or the Glad Tidings or the Good News of Jesus Christ often referred as the Message of Christ.

Hebrews 1:1-3, AMP, “In many separate revelation­s [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefather­s in and by the prophets, [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintainin­g and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplish­ed our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine majesty on high.”

Jesus Christ is the ultimate voice of God. My rallying point for 2021 is pursuance of divine clarity. As grace/gospel believers we face the future in faith without apprehensi­on. You may agree with me that so many concluded 2020 was a wasted calendar year, but those with eyes and led by the Holy Spirit made the best out of it. Some businesses, ventures or projects did better in 2020 than in any other year.

I am saying where you faltered, I declare divine clarity. You may not need to change anything, but more Bible reading and prayer and you will see what ordinarily is invisible.

There is going to be clear or distinct difference between good and evil, genuine and fake and light and darkness. Falsehood will not find shelter under Truth. The Light of the Gospel of Christ will guide you into right choices and correct decisions. The revelation of Jesus Christ has led us into Truth according to John 16:13 KJV, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” Truth is your portion. This Truth is the Grace of God or the Gospel of Christ so much spelt out in the epistles. So in the coming year and years, concentrat­e on truth to make use of divine clarity. Refuse confusion and circling year in and year out going nowhere. Small correct steps with precision will give you high yield, while wrong giant strides will set you back. Remember 1 Corinthian­s 2:16, KJV: “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

You’re not a wanderer and scavenger on this earth. Believers don’t run directionl­ess like decapitate­d chickens. I call you productive and fruitful. Don’t panic, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In Him you won’t get lost nor thrown off rail.

I will be occasional­ly posting short power posts on this subject on various platforms as we navigate

2021 and beyond in divine clarity. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Grace and peace be multiplied to you through knowledge.
