Order My Steps Oh Lord

Anchored in Jeremiah 10:23 — "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" — this sermon makes the case that divine guidance is not a luxury for the spiritually mature but a daily necessity for every believer. Rev. Koye-Ladele opens with a personal illustration about a road journey that became far easier once he stopped assuming he already knew the best route, using it as a picture of how God-ordered steps cut through what human effort makes long and laborious. He then moves through two extended biblical examples: the servant of Abraham in Genesis 24, who prayed for a specific sign and saw God answer before he had even finished speaking; and Jacob at Bethel in Genesis 28, who covenanted with God and returned from his unknown journey with great abundance. Five practical steps for walking in divine leading are then laid out — surrendering your will in prayer, staying open and sensitive to the Holy Spirit, searching inwardly for the inner voice, receiving the divine mandate as the Spirit directs, and casting every burden on God so that He can show the way forward. The sermon closes with extended prayer declarations over each letter of the month of September, covering stop-loss, elevation, prosperity, turnaround, encounters, money, blessings, expansion, and restoration.
