Text- John 14 : 6

*Jesus said unto him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.*

*Introduction*

Who is that person that is qualified to lead or to show the way to follow?

It is that somebody that knows the way.

In our text, it is stated that 'I'm the way...'

No other person than the one who himself is the way deserves to be followed as HE leads.

He is not just starting leading people, it has been his usual duty in time memorial, He is still leading presently and will continue to guide those who surrender the affairs of their lives to Him both physically and spiritually.

When He leads someone, there is an absolute assurance that the desired destination will be reached.

This is seen in the past antecedents of His leading prowess.

He led the Isrealites through the wilderness and they reached the promised land.

Accepting His offer to lead one gives such peace of mind, because it is certain that even if there is any challenge in the journey, the Way Himself is up to the task.

He proved this in the lives of the Isrealites when faced with the challenge of crossing the red sea.
He led them through the red sea, He knows the path to take even in the intimidating ocean, indeed He is the way.

He did the same thing to Prophet Elisha when he came face to face with river Jordan, because the prophet allowed Him to lead.

Though the road may be rough but just solely hand over everything to Him, and He will surely see you through.
Joseph, the dreamer, despite all obstacles and challenges on his way to fulfill destiny, because he has given the affairs of his life to Him, he definitely overcame and became what God has planned for him to be.

It may seem like God is not interested or involved in the affairs of your life after giving Him the go ahead to lead you...... no dear, think not in such manner, just continue to do His bidding by pleasing Him with your actions and inactions, and see how He will turn things around for your favour.

Remember the storm that occurred to the boat in which Jesus Christ and His disciples were travelling in, though the Lord was resting, the disciples did the needful by waking up the Way Himself, the rest is history.

Brethren, having Him to lead you doesn't mean challenges will not come, but each time challenge comes, call upon Him and He will surely do the needful.

The beauty of His leading is that He is ready to lead the way in every aspect of our lives as we give Him the chance to do, be it maritally as HE did to Isaac and Ruth, He is ready to do more than that to us.

In which area of life do you need direction, He is readily available to show you the way, yours is to show him the green light and He will take charge of the situation.

He can lead with so many things, He led the Isrealites with the pillar of clouds by day and pillar of fire by night. Exodus 13 : 21
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, to go by day and night.

In Matthew 2 : 9
He chose a star to lead the three wise men and they reached their desired destination.

Brother and sister, what are the desires (good ones) of your heart that you have been contemplating and devising ways on how to achieve them.... worry no more the deed is done, just let the Way Himself lead you and you shall be fulfilled.

Sonny Okosun once sang and I quote
"I don't know the way in the wilderness
Jesus is the way, I must follow Him
Jesus is the way in the wilderness, all I got to do is to follow."

"I don't know the way in the red sea
Jesus is the way, I must follow Him
Jesus is the way in the red sea, all I got to is to follow Him

*The needs for His Leading*
1. Assurance of reaching desired destination
2. Ensure fruitfulness of effort.
3. Making it to His Kingdom
4. Assurance of all round peace even in the midst of chaos.
5. Assurance of everlasting victory over enemies.
6. Daily living 1 Kings 19 : 15
7. Divine supplies. Jn. 16 : 13, 2 : 1-6, 1kings 17 : 3-4

*Methods of His Leading*
Our Lord leads in different ways, some of the ways by which He leads people are but not limited to the following;
1. Through His word.
Psalm 119 : 105
2. Through His Spirit
Rms 8 : 14, Jn.16 : 13
Jn 6 : 63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
3. Through vision
Acts 18 : 9-11, 10 : 1-22 Conelius
4. Through dreams
Matt 2 : 13-15 Joseph
5. Through prophecies from holy men and women of God
Acts 21 : 10-14

*Who does He lead?*
Romans 8 : 14
*For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*
He leads only those that are his children, those that have accepted Him as their Lord and personal Saviour.
Thanks to God, this is a godly assembly, I want to believe that we are all God’s children, but if there is any reason to rededicate our lives to Him afresh, it is allowed now because God is no respecter of person and even place. He is right here with us, so just go before Him and ask for His mercy and He will gladly accept you back.
When He leads and you follow, He empowers you to shame the enemies as HE did to David when he confronted goliath .
I pray as we anchor our lives unto Him to lead us through, we shall have everlasting victory over our all enemies in Jesus name.

*Conclusion*
Though in the world of today, there are false leadings out there, that doesn't mean that God is no more in the business of leading His own this day.

He led the Isrealites in time past, led David to kill goliath, led Peter to catch more fishes and so on. He is still in the business of leading because He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

*I pray as we surrender all to Him, He shall lead us to the desired and expected end in Jesus mighty name, amen.*

Thanks and God bless for your attention.
