THE NEED FOR GUIDANCE




“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” Proverb 14:12


The Bible teaches about the way that looks right unto a man and ends up in destruction, but we want to move in the ways of God. In life, many young adults who are ready for marriage and people going into business, ministries need direction.

Somebody said that, “I have a dream to start a business. I have the feeling of doing some kind of courses that will earn me more money, but I really need guidance.” With all our wonderful plans and great aristocratic ideas, we can never be fulfilled in life without God’s guidance. Understand here that you will never reach your highest potential that is self actualization in life as a believer without the desire to be led by the Lord.

One of the greatest missing links in the life of many wonderful people is the lack of divine leadings of the Lord. Businesses have failed, and many marriages have come to a measurable end for the lack of guidance. Reading through the Scriptures, I noticed that all the people who made impact, where divinely lead by the Lord.

If you are reading this today and God has already given you a dream to pursue, all you need now is divine direction. Divine direction is the currency for every outstanding destiny. You can buy your future by the currency of divine direction.

According to Jeremiah 31:9b, God is ready to lead us in great paths we have never known. When He leads you, He turns your darkness into light and He straightens your crooked paths. A wise man said, “I need divine direction from above because I don’t want to miss my timing, I don’t want to do it my own way.” The pressure of people and society will paint a picture of what you must do, yet when you go to God, He will give you the greatest direction that can end all your crises in life. I challenge you to start dreaming of doing some lasting things according to God’s direction and you will never regret it.


LIFE APPLICATION

Life can sometimes present you with many popular options and choices for your guidance, however, the way of the Lord is often narrow and that is why you need His guidance in your life from any form of pressure that overrules your will to take decision.
