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.

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.

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’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.

@Dynameak: "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."

@Bookie: "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."

Quote from Glamour:I totally agree with this. With His direction there would be complete order, priorities would be placed rightly and there would be no regret.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.

@Davzee: God's love for us is incredible, it reaches the heights we can't think, this is why he decides to share His knowledge with us when we seek His face. God knows everything from the beginning to the end, He sees the future and knows what's best for us.

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).

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.

Quote from holashayo: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.
You are right Olashayo. Misplaced priorities have really cost us alot.

SEEKING GOD'S DIRECTION.

Re: Seeking God's direction by: Omotayodavid(m) .:. Wed, 09 Sep, 2020 - 04:07:12:pm GMT
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.
