Divine Guidance: God's Empowered Blueprint For Your Journey

The 318 Project

It is through God’s divine guidance that God's shows us the path that He has for each individual's life. This guidance comes from being discipled. This can be as a child and your parents teaching you the “rights and wrongs” for your actions and behavior. Or it comes from a teacher or counselor helping you learn skills for as you grow and use in life.

As christians, we get guidance from our pastors and evangelists that bring a word from God to strengthen, encourage, correct or rebuke us. But each of us should have a close relationship with a leader or mentor that is discipling us.

Paul wrote letters to Timothy and Titus as their mentor to strengthen them as leaders. This is what discipleship is about.

This is evident when Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy chapter three verses 16 & 17 that “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”

You know that the Word of God is inspired or God breathed and that it is useful for the training and edification of the saints. So how does each person apply this in their individual life?

There are 4 points that Paul shared with Timothy in those verses that I am going to share. Two of them are on beliefs, what we should or shouldn’t believe. The other two are on behavior, what each of us should or shouldn’t do.

1. Teaching-These are instructions through God’s Word. God reveals His Word through His Spirit to us.
   • 1 Corinthians 2:12-13
   • John 6:64
   • Psalms 71:17
   • Colossians 3:16
2. Rebuking-This is when God through the Holy Spirit brings conviction of sinful actions.
   • 1 Timothy 2"14
   • 1 Corinthian 15:33
   • Proverbs 15:32
   • Romans 8 :5
   • 1 John 2:16
   • Titus 3 :3
3. Correction-This is a revealing of bad behavior that comes from conviction of those sinful actions.
   • Proverbs 15:32
   • Proverbs 10:17
   • Proverbs 3:11-12
   • Proverbs 19:20
4. Righteous training. This is developing the right behavior of what God wants you to do and act.
   • Romans 7:6
   • 1 Peter chapter 3:1
   • 1 timothy 2:14
   • Titus 2 :1
   • 1 Peter 1:15
   • 1 Peter 3:17
   • Ephesians 5:1- 2
   • 1 Corinthians 11:1

In conclusion, I want to go back to those verses in 2 Timothy chapter 3, but this time as you read it, insert your personal name, where it says “man of God”.

It would sound like this” All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training righteousness, so that Ryan Hare, may be complete, equipped for every good work.
