 ```I Kings 17:3‭-‬4 NKJV
 “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
```
 
COMMENTARY
Preservation, protection and peace of mind is divinely given under a divine direction. Elijah is one of the Prophets that had rare ability of conversing with God. Every prophets have ability to hear from God but level of intimacy and results varies. Seeking the next page of your life could be dependent on obedience to the last chain of direction (instruction) you received from God. Asking God what would happen if you get to the brook would be an irrelevant question. God has spoken, the duty is shifted to you, and obedience is expected. When you arrive the brook, you will see the next divine link. Of course Elijah met the Raven at the brook. If he had remained stagnant, no miraculous provisions from raven would take place.

"Get away from here.." Is just a begining. Get away to where and for what? Sometimes this kind of direction come as broken instructions. Other times it could come as chains, to be followed link to link, if you miss a link reconnecting back could take chunk of your precious time. In worse case scenario, some persons never get it right again after missing a link in their divine direction. When you are divinely guided, you need extra energy to remain connected to the source, yes, like seeking what should be the next step every moment.

Divine direction calls for absolute obedience and reliance on the skills and expertise of the instructor. Not obeying the divine direction (instructions) by reason of doubt is like telling God that He is insufficient or incapable of bringing His promises to reality. It is like telling Him that He is a promise and fail God. Imagine telling a man of our generation that a bird will be bringing food to him. Will he take it serious? Most times divine direction looks very impossible and you will have every logical reasons to ignore it and do your own thing.

Food for thought:
Direction is very important in life and when the direction is divine, then it should be your ultimate._

Prayer:
```Lord help me to obediently observe your commands. Do not allow me to miss the links of your divine direction in Jesus name.```

 31/12/2023 *Christian WATCH Exposition* *Topic:* _Habit 1. Roaming around_  *Text:*  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```  *COMMENTARY*  As children we grew up seeing Almanac painting of a dark human like image with tail, hons and horrible dentition being displayed on walls of our houses as Satan. Some of these almanac displayed Jesus and Satan having a soccer. Other Almanac can be a wrestling match between Satan and Jesus and things like that. Satan cannot be known by all those images. Satan is a spirit and manifest through human beings. Therefore in this study we shall look into the habits and manifestations of Satan. One of the ...

Topic: Habit 5. Distractions.   Text :  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```   COMMENTARY   Uninvited yet attending, for what? Why is Satan always going to the gathering of the children of God? Presenting himself to the Lord is not his priority, he is chiefly looking for whom to distract. As children of God testifies of triumphing over evil with good, the children of the disobedience take pleasure in doing evil and testifies when they succeed in multiplying evil, especially when their intended distractions work out and a child of God compromise to follow evil. Have you wondered why believers compromise? It starts from this ki...

02/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Illegal Structures.   Text :  ```Jeremiah 1:7‭-‬10 NKJV But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”```   COMMENTARY One of the foundational significant difference between Prophetic ministers and the rest of the people in the society is eyes. God gives ability to identify original architectural master plans to the Prophets. God give them ability to read and interpret geographical and geological map of families and individual persons lives. God's purpose and plans a...
