One of the greatest assurances we can carry into a new season is this: God will lead us. Not randomly. Not vaguely. But intentionally, lovingly, and divinely.

Experiencing manifestation in 2026 is not accidental; it is the product of a life rooted in God’s guidance. When we allow God to lead us, every area of our lives, including our businesses, careers, families, and decisions, begins to flourish. This is how we become the role model others can look to with confidence and hope.

One profound truth shared during the sermon is that God’s leading doesn’t always come with an audible voice. Many times, we expect loud instructions or dramatic signs, but divine direction often comes through trust, peace, and alignment with God’s Word.

This year, we are called to trust God deeply, even when the path isn’t fully clear. Trust is what separates those who merely wish for direction from those who walk boldly in it. When you trust God’s leading, you naturally become the role model who inspires others to rely on God, not fear uncertainty.

Psalm 23 took center stage as a reminder that God’s guidance comes with provision, protection, and purpose. “The Lord is my shepherd” is not just poetic; it is directional. When God leads you, goodness and mercy don’t chase you occasionally; they follow you consistently.

A life led by God becomes a visible testimony. People begin to see stability, peace, and fruit, even in challenging seasons. This is how believers step into the responsibility of being the role model, not by perfection, but by surrender.

This truth frees us from shame and empowers growth. The role model is not someone who never makes mistakes, but someone who responds to God with humility and obedience.

Hearing from God is a journey, and that journey is built on intimacy. As we grow closer to Him, discernment becomes sharper. At crossroads, God ensures we know which path to take.

Be sensitive. Be discerning. Stay rooted. When your life reflects divine direction, you don’t just experience manifestation, you become *the role model* God uses to guide others.

Stay rooted in divine direction, and let your life point the way.
