As we journey down the path of life toward our destiny, we need to continuously receive clear and concise instructions from God’s Spirit (we need to be led). As with a SatNav, we must use these instructions to take us and keep us on the correct route. Otherwise there’s no point in having this awesome Helper (a means of supernatural assistance). “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever” (John 14:16). So what exactly is the Helper going to help us accomplish? Well, the Greek word translated Helper means; ‘one who draws along side.’ But the purpose of drawing along side us is so that we can do exactly what the One who sent Him does! “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father” (John 14:12). The Holy Spirit’s primary mission is to manifest Christ in every situation - through you and me - so that He can continue His ministry!

The distinctive quality every child of God possesses is “being continually led by the Holy Spirit.” It is the hallmark of Christianity! That being the case, where does the Holy Spirit lead us to? But before we answer that question let’s get a better understanding of the importance of being led by the Spirit. Has any one of you ever used a Satellite Navigation System? If you have, you will know that the first thing you need is an address or post-code before you can proceed. Without this information the SatNav is unable to find your destination and work out the route (by using the satellites positioned over the country you are in). But there is one thing you must be absolutely sure of before you log in your information, and that is, that the SatNav knows the route better than you do. Right? You don’t ever expect the SatNav to lead you astray - otherwise you may as well embark using your own directions.
