Seeking God's direction.

The journey through life has its dark and dangerous routes. Moving through this route and succeeding its not something we can do on our own. If we do, we would end up making decisions in a haste.

Our society also has its hand in the choices people make in a haste, as they put presaure on people in almost every area of their lives. They have set their time frame which indicates when on should achieve certain things especially getting married.

While going through this pressure, it is important to have good directions and vision of where you want to be at a certain time. Do not let your decisions be driven by the standards others have set.

In this times, it is very possible to make wrong choices using excuses that there is no time - being in a haste, some just makes choices they feel is right for them which most times puts them in a very difficult situation.

We must understand that there is no limit to the pressure on faces from the work we do to the society at large, every area of one's life receives pressure.

King David in the bible was one man who experienced the pressure of leadership. Leadership is not an easy task, it takes wisdom from God to be a good leader.


One thing the Bible records that King David did each time the pressure came was that he ran to God for His help. He always inquired of the Lord, admitting His weaknesses and acknowledging that God is the only source of help he has. King David did not try to sort these problems by himself, he did not seek human counsel, he completely put his trust in God. He sought God's face each time. I guess he knew what it felt like getting divine directions. With divine directions nothing can go wrong. He realized this and kept returning to God each time.

It is one who trust in God that goes to Him for directions. The word of God tells us to trust in God and not our understanding.

Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths."

God knows the right way, seek his directions in every step of your life.

Seeking God's direction can divinely change your life for good. As a believers we are meant to ask God for directions in whatsoever we want to do. The bible says 'Acknowledge me in your ways and I wil direct your paths'. You honor God when you first commit your ways to him and that makes him to be ready to save you. 


God needs us to come into the full understanding of acknowledging him in all areas of our life. He want us to seek for direction whenever we want to carry a plan, when we want to eat, when we want to go out, the clothes to wear, what to say and how to react I some situations

We don't just based seeking God's face or direction on marital issues only. Seeking God's direction is all round. 

When we seek God's direction it saves us from many things. He makes things differemt for us because it makes us to have a saner schedule that's you will have to focus what is really necessary and that will save your time and strength. 

God's direction also eradicate Wastes. When will diligently seek the face of God before embarking on a business or plan it eradicate waste because venturing into a business without direction can chase a lot of chaos or loss for the person but Gods direction saves you from it. 

It also bring Joy and happiness. When you obediently follows God's direction it bring Joy and happiness because when God save you from a mistake that can cause you a whole of problems it brings Joy.

         God's direction is key for every man to accomplish in life things he is meant to actually acheive in life. When we talk of God's direction in life, we talk about doing the right thing at the right time, being at the  right place at the right time and also accomplishing the right things in life. Any man that wants a success that will last him forever is bound to seek God's direction if not he or she will continue to spin the wheel. Lack of direction makes a man keep spinning the wheel whereby he cannot point to a particular thing he has achieved in his life because he just does everything and anything without precision and accuracy, that kind of a person will be filled with a lot of activities but no accomplishments because he lacks clarify of purpose and direction. This is something no man should take lightly in this journey of faith that we are in, because no man must lack God's direction, no man should be ignorant of the important things he ought to do in life. What is God telling you to do? Are you even neglecting his direction purposely? please desist from that because his direction may seem unpleasant to you, it may seen not too quick to you but remember that "Faithful is he that have called you who also will do it". 
     How do you seek God's direction regarding matters? Firstly, it should be through prayers, whereby you pray with the whole of your heart ready to submit to his direction and then you will receive divine directions that way, also while studying the word of God too you can receive God's direction and that will automatically make you begin to move with precision and accuracy and confidence in all that you do because you know it is right and it is in the will of God, also that way success is guaranteed because our God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to his power that walks in us. Glory! We are not and will never be confused in Jesus name (Amen).

This why many people keep working hard most times with no result to show. They decided to take the rein of their lives and control themselves.

There are times in life when situations get overwhelming and it leaves man most times in the state of confusion. In such situations it is pertinent to look to God for direction. Psalms 37: 23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. Looking to God for direction in life is very important because it makes God man's senior partner through the journey in life. No man seeks God's direction and gets disappointed because God stays true to His words just as it is in Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
God gave man access through Jesus and at that whatever man ask in Jesus' name according to God's will shall be given to man. 

John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Every day in a man's life shouldn't be started casually, it should start with acknowledging God as sovereign and to seek His face for direction on how to go about the new day. Just as a manual gives direction on how to put a thing to good use, so does the Lord speak to give direction to man through His word. God's speaks constantly, it is man that doesn't ask according to God's will (this might not be the case of majority but quite a percentage can glean from it). God looks out for every man and He expects that man come into a relationship with Him such that man looks to Him consistently as seasons unfold in his life. A friend shared with me how she choose all by herself an institution for direct entry into 200 level in a university but after the registration she became troubled and it affected other areas of her life because her peace wasn't in the right place. So she turned to God and the Holy Spirit made known the right institution where she will fulfil purpose for the period of her study. With joy in her heart she hurried to buy another form and thankfully form was still on sale. She registered all over for her course of choice in the school the Holy Spirit directed her to. The examination date was fixed afterwards and she passed so well. She was favored with admission to study the course of her choice in the school. 
Moral: It pays to enquire from the Lord for direction before settling to achieve a goal because He knows the end of a thing from the beginning and knows what's best for every man even as we go through life. 
She was consistent with asking the Lord for direction before she makes a decision but that one time she decided to have it her own way but that was taking her off the track of a purposeful life and that made her to be unsettled till she realized she didn't seek direction from God. 

God is always ready to direct man in any area of life m an looks up to Him for but He will never force his will on a man. If man sees God as sovereign, acknowledge His rulership and seek His face for direction in life, God will never put such man to shame. God's direction leads to a good life but the direction by the flesh will lead to a dead end. When the Lord direct a man's life, he will be unstoppable so long the man is in the center of God's will. As believers we should make conscious effort to seek the Lord for direction in every area of life because every path that is directed by the Lord will always be glorious. 

**Life is a race but with God's element of grace it'll be worth while to explore His goodness. **

The Bible says we do not have because we do not ask. Therefore, if we don't know God's direction in our lives, we simply ought to try asking Him for guidance. By prayerfully seeking direction, surrendering completely to Him, and listening attentively to His will (whatever it may be), what once seemed mysterious and unrecognizable will become amazingly clear.  

We all know that seeking God is not always an easy thing to do , not because God is elusive but because our minds are saturated with misconceptions and deceits planted by Satan and reinforced by the culture not mention the sinful nature of our own hearts and the general deceitfulness of sin.

But the good news is that these mistaken beliefs are done away with through coming to know God and growing in our relationship with him. This starts when we turn to him for salvation and put our trust in Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:2 says "do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will and is, his good , pleasing and perfect will. 

We learn the truth about God and seek him through reading his word. We can seek God also through prayer and in times of worship.

**Perfect**

Gods direction is the most important thing every man needs to suceed in this life. If you are going according to Gods direction and will concerning you life, you wont be a victim of wrong time, wrong place.
 
 When you seek Gods direction, you would be doing the right things at the right time in the right place. You wont waste your time on things that would not make impact in your life. If you want to live a successful life, you need Gods direction. Lack of direction makes man go through wasted efforts, he wont be able to pin point any successfull thing he has done with his life. How do we seek God's direction, by praying and asking him to order our footstep.
 
 Asking God to direct us is something we as believers should take serious and important if not we would be living a fruitless life. Are you in the right path?; are you going according to God's plan concerning your life?;do you know where God is directing you too?; search yourself well. If by chance you know his will concerning your life and you are running away from it, then you need to stop doing that and embrace your calling. A pastor's wife shared a testimony on how she was led to her husband by God. she said when she dreamt she would be marrying her husband, who is a pastor, she rebuked it. She had the mentality that pastors and not romantic, they dont have enough time for their family and they are backwards when it comes to fashion. The pastor(husband), approached her and told her he was interested in her, she rejected him still. until one day God arrested her and now she said she doesnt regret it one bit. When you seek and follow Gods direction, you wont have any regrets.

Seek God's direction in everything you are planning to do, God will surely give you a clearer path. God knows our future where we should be and where we shouldn't, God loves his children so he will direct you to the right path.


God will make sure we are save, God is our heavenly father he will make sure we live a better life.

Let me tell you a story that will inspire you to seek God's direction, 

John wanted to embark on a journey with a friend to benin city, just before he left he spoke to God, that night he had a nightmare in that nightmare he had an accident. Later in the day he told his friend about the dream and they both decided not to travel anymore, later that day they heard the news that robbers robbed people on the highway leading to benin.

God loves his children so much that he will never allow anything happen to us. God is our light and our salvation, but the honest truth is that to have this type of relationship you have to accept God as your lord and personal savior, baptising in his name, only then you can have that type of relationship with God.

Thank you.

     Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word .


God’s Word is light. Psalmhttps://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ps%20119.105"> 119 vs 105 says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.  It’s interesting that it likens the Word to a lamp. A lamp doesn’t have strong beams. You don’t turn on a lamp and leave it in a stationary position; you’d have to carry it with you.


It lets you know that God’s Word is something you need every day. The Christian life is a journey; every day is a fresh day to serve God; a new day to please Him, and walk in the path that He’s ordained for you; you need His Word for guidance and direction.


Life may be filled with chances and choices, but through the Word, you receive illumination that gives you insight into the realities of the Kingdom life. Psalmhttps://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ps%20119.130"> 119 vs 130 says, “The entrance {and} unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.


Stay in God’s Word. Study and meditate on it until it gains the ascendancy over your life. That’s when you receive light and understanding; a new mind set that transforms your life. You begin to see differently; God’s glory and abundant provisions become real to you.


Your journey in life should be on the clear path of progress, victory, and success only, because Jesus said, “…I am the light of the world: he that follow me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”. 
  
    The way to follow Him is through the Word. Make God’s Word your compass for navigating through life.

Seeking God’s direction is very important as a Christian. It makes our lives easier and we can avoid all the necessary troubles on our way. A brother once shared a story about how he refused to seek God’s direction. He was supposed to go and see someone to collect some money. Usually he would pray in the morning and ask for direction but he over looked it that day. On getting to the place where he was supposed to collect the money, the person was unavailable. On his way back, he got robbed of all his belongings. When he found his way back home later, he started to reflect and realized that he didn’t see God’s direction before leaving or embarking on the journey. another story is that of my family. We were supposed to travel home for Christmas one year. We were already prepared to go the next day. we had packed our things and informed our families at home that we would be coming, so my dad decided to go to the pastor to inform him of our journey. By the time he got there the pastor told may day that we couldn’t travel because there were dangers waiting for us on the road. My father heeded and we didn’t go. Hat was how we avoided impending doom on our way. Through these stories, we can see that seeking God’s direction is very important. Concerning you r choice of future partner, never dis regards God’s direction so you don’t end up with the wrong partner. On getting a job, seek God’s direction so he would give you the place he has designed for you. as a student, you need God’s direction to during examinations and tests. Never underestimate the importance of seeking direction From God. Emulate Davis in the bible who always inquired of the lord before doing anything.

Truly, it makes life easier.
It is sad that people most times refuse to inquire of the Lord and some even when they inquire they still decide to ignore it. The dangers attached to not seeking God's direction most times can be very costly.

As believer in christ Lord Jesus, which have to seek for  God directions. 

Seeking for God direction , if there is any thing that you won't to engage your self into,the first thing is to pray on it and seek for God direction. 
In life  we have to put God direction  first before we take  any decisions, because the he the master planner he sees our  hearts and know our thoughts, some will say how can they  seek for God direction,you  can  go through the scriptures which is the Bible. 
We have  a  guideian who is our pastor, prophet, you can go to them  If there is anything you want to know. 
There are some way by which God direct us but majority of people do not take note, even the Bible says you should knock and it shall be open on to you, to seek for  God direction  one need to be prayerful, study the Bible  
Thanks

The place of fellowship, the place of the word, the place of prayer, the place of praise. These three are key in the place of fellowship.
fact #1: God is not man that He should lie, he has promised to reward those who diligently seek Him.Note that diligence may connote seemingly stupid perseverance and acidic faith.
fact #2: Seek more of the comforter, the holy spirit. It is good to want to see God with face, o what Glories unspeakable, something all Christians crave for but few are willing to pay the price including me. In your place of waiting however, why don't you commune with the holyspirit. I do want to believe that you are baptised with the holyspirit, and you are sure of the infilling. He us with us for a purpose and we need not go through much stress for the purpose to come good. With total faith, just ask the holyspirit to grant you audience. After that, take your Bible and tell the holyspirit to explain things to you. Have no doubt, it is expected, just as how you trust your switch to always bring light when it is on. From there, go deeper in fellowship with the holyspirit, He will help your prayer life and your place of the Word

Seeking God's direction in all you do is key to living a fulfilled life. As Christians, we are to engage God in every thing. Both the things we think are small and the big things. He is actually very interested. He knows about it, but going to meet Him before you embark on doing anything, even as little as talking or reacting to an action, makes it glaring to Him that you want Him in your life. To confirm this, the Bible says in Psalms 139 that even before our day starts or ends, He knows what will transpire(paraphrased). 

We need God's direction in everything. Nothing or no one should deceive us that we don't. Or that there are somethings we can handle ourselves. It's better to start it with God knowing fully well that you have this confidence that He's got you no matter what and He'll handle everything accordingly than dabbling into it, messing up and then running to Him. Mind you, not that He won't answer you, but you'd have saved yourself enough mess and mistake encountered while trying to do it yourself.
If we want to be honest to ourselves, let's do a flashback to the things we did with and without God and critically analyse the difference.
Like I said earlier, seeking God's direction in EVERYTHING is very paramount. He's very interested. On the course to study in the University, who to marry, where to settle, when to and when not to travel, He wants us to come to Him and seek His face concerning these matters. Try this and see Him work wonders because He's wonderful and faithful and He never fails.
Shalom!

Life is full of ups and downs. The Bible says man born of a woman is full of trouble even with his few days on earth. God is aware of all the troubles man is going through.  God knows the end from the beginning, we humans are short sighted about the future therefore there is need for us to seek God for divine direction. 

We see the life of a student who thinks he can make good results without seeking God's direction for divine wisdom and understanding. At the end of the day, he failed his final exams. Everything we embark on, God should be our pillar because we are just human, as we are sweating the devil is also working hard to make sure things do not come out in a pleasing way. Seeking God's direction should be part of us.

Therefore we need God's direction in our marriage(who to marry), career, place of worship, friends to follow, when to embark on a journey, to mention but a few. All these may look insignificant but it is very important God's direction to avoid regret or sorrow. 

We can seek God's direction :Prayer and fasting,meditating on the word of God, through cousels from our pastors, Godly parents etc. 
 
Focus on God and trust His plan for you. He cannot fail and definitely won't fail you. 

When God is the one directing you, there are dangers God prevents because you have sincerely sought for His direction.

What is really affecting us in this life is that we placed at the last what suppose to come first. We have taken decisions already before seeking God's direction. Many later regret their action after so many destructions. Putting God aside when you realise that you are wise enough to chose for yourself.
I read a story about a man, a devoted Muslim  who is yet to get married all in the name of looking for miss perfect  but he has a friend who is married. His friend do talk about his wife being responsible and good characters. This makes him to always pray for wife exactly like his friend's. So one day he traveled for work and lodge in an hotel. Accidentally, he came across his friend's wife with another guy. "Am I dreaming"? He thought. He did not believe his eyes and immediately he started reversing all the prayer back. He went to report the incident to his father and he advice him not to tell anyone. But where am going is this, the man decided to go out and chose a good wife  because he don't the same himself. So he brought home a beggar who doesn't know anything about been social, so he thought that would be perfect so he married her irrespective of people's opinion.
At the long run, she became a very good housewife and his husband was very happy.
So one day, he told his wife that he wanted to travel for three months that she should take care of her self before his arrival. Meanwhile when he ask her about how she lost her virginity, she told him that she was raped so he believed her not knowing she is a sex machine.
During her husband absence, she could not control herself again so she met with her neighbor who is a prostitute so they gave her to series of men to sleep with. On his arrival, he noticed that she is sick, so she went for test and they revealed that she is Two months pregnant. That was when the secret exposed that she is being sex everyday by the area guys so it has mastered her. He don't even know who got her pregnant. 
So the man started regretting his action and later surrender to God to chose for him.
No one can surpass God, no one is wiser than him so let's rely on him(God) for everything.

A man without direction is a man without a future. Direction from God is very important if you must avoid mistakes in life. So many people are suffering today, because of lack of direction. If the will of God was for you to become a doctor and you went to study law no matter how good that certificate will look like you will not be able to use it. If the will of God for you is to be a pastor and you are busy doing other thing you will just be suffering on earth. So before we do anything on this planet Earth we should seek for the direction of God. Even in marriage you need the direction of God. Not that you want Him to show you your wife or your husband. But to tell you what to do and how to go about it. When ever king David in the Bible want to go for war the Bible says he will go and enquire from the prophet what God have to say. When God say pursue overtake and recover. He will go for the war and will come back successfully. If you live your life without seeking for direction from My dnyou may indirectly be walking into your grave without you knowing. Whem God gives you direction life will become a little bit easy for you. Because you know that no matter what you are passing through, God's direction for my life will surely come to manifestation. So the ability to push forward no matter the obstacle that will come you way will automatically be given to you. Paul knew the direction of God concerning his life and so whatever he passed through he endured it. When apostle Paul was killing the disciples he never knew God's direction for his life and so killing the disciples of Christ. Note that they are different place you can seek dorectidi from but the direction from God is the best. The direction from God is only the direction that will never cause you harm. You can seek direction from God through studying of the word, through prayer and through a genuine prophet of God.

Seeking God's direction, seriously I recommend the author on this topic, so intrigue.
In the book of Mathew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 
When Ask according to the book of Mathew 7 vs 7, you are making God to be aware because I was meant to understand that of you don't invite God to that challenge or request, he doesn't show up, that is God does not come where he is not invited.
When you seek, that is you are surrendering, you are decreasing in order for God to increase.
Seeking God is to be totally submissive. And God said in the book of James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 
When you seek God, that shows humility and loyalty.
After asking from God, seeking from God, then you have to knock, for the door to be opened for you.
This is the same as seeking for God's direction.

@Princess:


You're very right sister, to seek God's direction at every point in life is the best option just as David did when he and the armies cane back from the battlefield and met their rent scattered and their wives and children taken away. He didn't just chase after the intruders and say am just coming from the battlefield and I overcome so I don't need any checking, I have the power. 

I admire this one thing about David, he didn't allow the situation of things to deprive him of seeking God's direction. 
Seeking God's direction to me means searching the heart of God. 

Seeking God is a  act. It is not just by mouth , you have to show it because God searches all heart and knows what you are capable of doing.
 
There was a time I wanted to take a step, I seek the heart  of God then I took the step and it  yield much fruit for me. 
When you want to seek the face of God, you have go before him with an humble heart, an humble heart will be able to listen to the word of God. A man with an humble heart will surely be loved by God.

Seeking God's direction is the best thing to do, he is a God who knows all and can never lead wrongly . Seek his direction for your life, seek his direction academically, seek his direction maritally, Seek God's face over your finance and all things working together for your good. 




**God's will be done**

SEEKING GOD'S DIRECTION. 


Living life without God's leading is living a dangerous life. In this life there are different challenges and different oppurtunies that might seems right but the end point is destruction. Christ didn't want us to fall victim or risk our lives in danger that's why he offers his direction to us. 

Some people have neglected this fact and have been doing things with their own power. They've forgotten that God's ways are higher than their ways. God created us so as to be like him in all ramifications of life. But we getting into the world has neglected the fact and keep on chasing shadows. Things are not done that way. 

When you give your life to christ, he expected you to keep growing on him. And one of the ways that shows you are growing is when you always seek his direction before doing anything. So, as a believer we are expected to always seek God's direction. Not only on spiritual matters but on all matters in life. 

God is a God of all round. He want to be involved in all issues pertaning to our lives. That's why the bible says, 'Always acknowledge God in all your ways and he shall direct our paths'. That's the simple truth. He so happy when we make him our number one priority in life. 

There are alot of good things associated with God's leading. Firstly when God leads you, he makes you the best in what you do. People might have been doing things with their own knowledge and that might have been working for them. But they can never be compared to someone who's been lead by God in the same field. God's direction is accompanied with an Excellent spirit. 

Secondly, it saves you from waste. When you allow God to take control of your resources and when you also acknowledge him before venturing into business that seems pleasing to you, it saves you from waste. This is because some business might seems like an open door but the end of it is destruction. So, someone who dillgiently seek yhe face of God will have been told by God not to go into such and that saves you from Waste

Finally, a man/woman lead by God is a show to the World. Nobody is lead by God and ever be called a failure. It can't never happen. Let's us endeavour to always put him first I'm what will do and he will always put us first in the affairs of life. 

**Always put God first **

Seeking God's direction means you completely trusting and relying on God without any iota of doubt. While seeking God's direction we need absolute focus because it is the most sensitive moment and we must be spiritually  conscious of God's instructions in times like this, we must not lean on our understanding, God needs our absolute obedience and not a partial obedience.

  Seeking God for direction is handing our entirety to God and we are willing to follow through with his plan until the end. "God's  ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts", this is a clear indication that when seeking God's direction we are working with God's divine agenda for our life, we must be ready to look away from every distraction that could cost us of from receiving divine direction.
  We must intensity our faith when seeking God's direction, "looking unto jesus the author and finisher of our faith". We must be very patient when seeking God's direction.
