2. SHOW US THE ANCIENT PATHS
Lord we confess that we have wandered
Far from Your purpose and plan
And willingly walked in the wrong direction
We’ve disobeyed Your commands
Father forgive us, Spirit come lead us
Back to the way
Back to the truth
Back to the foot of the cross

11. UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF THE OLD PATHS
 A traveller is going to a particular city; he
comes to a place where the road divides
into several paths, he is afraid of going
astray; he stops short, - endeavors to find
out the right path: he cannot fix his
choice. At last he sees another traveller;
he inquires of him, gets proper directions
- proceeds on his journey and finally
arrives at the desired place.

12. UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF THE OLD PATHS
 The LORD said: My people, when you
stood at the crossroads, I told you,
"Follow the road your ancestors took, and
you will find peace." But you refused.
 (Jeremiah 6:16 CEV)

13. UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF THE OLD PATHS
 The old way God desires us to seek does not refer to
archaic or obsolete ways of doing things.
 WHY?
 The latter rain will always be greater than the former
 Zachariah 10:1.

 The glory of the latter house will ever be greater in
splendor than the former.
 Haggai 2:6-9.
 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were
better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely
concerning this.
 Ecclesiastes 7:10.

14. UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF THE OLD PATHS
 To ask for the old way does not connote
the kind of worship we offered God in our
times of ignorance nor the way we
exercised faith and understood the
manifestations of God from myopic
perspectives.
What God is bringing our way this season is a call to revival which we all must heed to and hunger for. There is a great awakening that is about to sweep t

15. UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF THE OLD PATHS
 The good way is that which has been trodden by the
saints from the beginning: it is the old way, the way
of faith and holiness. This is the way; let us inquire
for it, and walk in it.
 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
of the common salvation, it was needful for me to
write unto you, and exhort you that ye should
earnestly contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints.
◦ (Jude 1:3)
 Your soul needs rest; it can only find this by walking
in the good way.
 Matthew 11:29
