This past weekend I attended an Annual Prayer Breakfast. I received the invitation several days before and was excited about the event. The excitement was mainly due to the fact that my Brother in Ministry (Victor Turner) would be preaching at this Prayer Breakfast. The place where the event would be held was a place that I had never been before, so I Googled the address so that I can enter it into my GPS (Global Positioning System), so that I may determine the distance and time that it would take me to drive from my residence.
To understand the technology behind the GPS is to know that it is useless without a signal. The GPS receives its signal from satellites that have been strategically positioned in outer-space to send precise coordinates to the receiver (GPS). Once this signal is received it is then displayed on the device so that it can be useful and meaningful, and so that it may accomplish the task it was created for.
Bro. Turner preached not on the technology of today, but on the power that has always been available. He spoke about a very effective, empowering, life changing and wonderful guidance system…the GBS. GBS is the acronym that Bro. Turner so effectively explained as our need to be “Guided By the Spirit”.
Understanding GBS is to understand that it cannot be purchased in any store, it can never become defective, and its source of power is awesome and magnificent. The activation code to sync it up is L. O. V. E. This love is the Love of Christ who says that “as the Father has loved Him, so He loves us.” The reason it cannot be purchase is found in John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit…” The GBS CHOSE US and wants to guide us into ALL righteousness and truth! Hallelujah!!
My GPS was effective getting me to the place I was to go, but upon arrival, it simply said “You have reached your destination, GPS will now shut off.” Contrast this with the GBS, which not only effectively gets you to your destination, but also equips you to be useful and a blessing at that destination…never shutting off, but continually giving off power, revelation, healing, yoke breaking words of encouragement, wisdom, knowledge and everything else useful for Kingdom building!!
When the storms of life come and the dark clouds of indecision and unbelief begin to form, your “GPS” will lose its signal…too much interference. However, your “GBS” can never be interfered with, it is most useful in times of storms and indecision, and it speaks to our system confirming that the source of its power is enduring and eternal.
Today, I am relying on GBS!! I would encourage you to do the same.
Thank you, Lord for Guiding us By your Spirit!!!
