GOD DOESN’T WORK THE SAME WAY ALL THE TIME, BE SENSITIVE (Thursday, 26th March 2026)
Text for Today: John 5:16-23 “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son of Man can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do.” (vs. 19).
Those who are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit will never be stranded in life. In any given assignment in life, receiving the first instruction and subsequent ones is very vital to the success of the work. Whoever gets the initial instruction and fails to listen to the next one will become very insignificant in his place of duty and may be substituted along the way. To operate in the supernatural, we must develop a keen sensitivity to the person of the Holy Spirit. God doesn’t work the same way all the time, and we need to hear His direction for each situation. Consider Jesus. He saw signs and wonders on a consistent basis in His daily life, but He never prayed the same way twice.
Sometimes He laid hands on people; sometimes He instructed them to take a specific action; sometimes He did unusual things Himself such as spit in mud and put it into a person’s eyes. He was unconventional but completely Spirit-led. From our text for today, the key is, He did only what He saw His Father doing (see John 5:19). His ability to hear and see the actions of His heavenly Father came out of the time He spent with Him in prayer and communion. If you want to sensitize your spiritual eyes and ears, you must put yourself in a place where you can see and hear God. This will often require you to sometimes pull away into a “deserted place” so you can place all your heart and mind on Him. When you exercise your spiritual senses by learning to listen and not just talk, you will be led by the Spirit.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: 1 Sam. 3:1-21.
