God reveals my future step by step

1 John 2:20, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.”

Corinthians 2:9-10, “But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”

There have been times when God impressed in my heart on future events that will take place in my life especially those that are of significance and importance. The following are a few of my experiences till date.

The person I would marry. When I was dating my wife some years ago, there were times of arguments and insecurities. So I asked God if my girlfriend then would be the woman I would marry. I remembered driving along Tomlinson Road, preparing to turn right into Tanglin Road when God told me: “She is yours.” I asked again and again and these words kept coming up in my spirit. The feeling I had at that time was not one of childish triumphant but one of solemn commission. I felt I was given the responsibility to love, cherish and provide for my wife the best life I could for the rest of my life. I did not tell my girlfriend then though. Eventually we did get married after 3 years of dating and she remains dear to me.

The house I would stay. I felt assured in my heart in getting the flat that I desired to stay in after my marriage. It was a prime area with no lack of applicants. The competition was very stiff. Nevertheless, the moment I received the HDB email alert with regard to opening the area I desired for balloting, I was impressed in my heart that I would get it. Eventually we did get it. The best part was we never really went around the island scouting for places to stay. Knowing the amount of time and energy to search every weekend, I would have reckoned it to be very tedious and tiring. It was close to a one shot one kill situation for us. We were truly blessed.

The time I would have my first baby. My wife has always been proactively bringing up the topic of having a baby on several occasions. I felt the time was not right and hence refused to talk about this subject to the point that frustrates her sometimes. I kept telling her when we are ready, we will have a baby. Then one day, I just felt impressed in my heart that the time is ripe. So I relate this to my wife and I told her that we would be going to Country A for a holiday and it would be the last one we would have until the next 5 years at least. We relate this to our parents and close friends, telling them we would be trying for a baby. However when we did not see any results for the1st 2 months, our parents started to suggest ways and means that encourage child birth. I also have people telling me stories of how difficult it was for young couples to conceive these days probably due to food or lifestyle. As a result I too start to waiver a little; at the same time feeling a little frustrated and disappointed. Nonetheless, God has been faithful and my wife did become pregnant after 3 months. Praise God!

I remembered Pastor Amos mentioned Christians do not look for fortune tellers. Firstly it is against God’s will to seek evil spirits of familiarity for they will eventually lead you to a state of bondage and fear, Pastor Amos also highlighted: “Being Christians, we are children of God. If we want to know the future, ask God directly. God would not use a third party to relate to you concerning your own future; as much as you would not to talk to your earthly children through someone; especially important and private things concerning your children.”
