The Power Of Direction - Pastor David Ogbueli


Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverb 3:5-6

God is a God of direction, He sees the end from the beginning. A prayer of inquiry is coming to God to ask for direction. Pray that God gives you direction. Without direction, efforts will be exerted but end up being wasted. Direction is the most important thing in making any journey, so we must take care in the beginning what matters in the end, and that is DIRECTION! You should not set goals until you know your direction, God gives the best to those who allow Him make the decisions for them. There is a difference between God giving you direction and God ordering your steps

Misdirection is very costly. God providing you direction is God telling you where to go and what to get. God ordering your steps is God telling you where to go, GOING with you. Telling you how to get something and HELPING you get it. Psalm 23 It’s important to find a good church, your eternal destiny is dependent on that See Psalm 23:2 The water in ministry is the move of the Holy Spirit. It is the power of the Holy Spirit changes lives See Psalm 23:3

Three Ways God Guides Us: TV Channel You see with your eyes; God shows it to you in a vision. Radio Broadcast You hear God speak audibly. Text Message You intuitively know the answer You usually get an answer not more than 72 hours If it takes more than 72 hours to get an answer, some demonic forces might be holding it back. See Daniel 10:12 When this happens, we should stay in the faith and still keep confessing positively See Job 33:15 Satan cannot interfere with God; he can only interfere with the medium. See Deuteronomy 29:29

When God reveals something that is going to affect us negatively, instead of just cancelling it, we should change strategy. Direction can be the difference between life and death You should always get directions in business deals, marriage proposals e.tc. You will never go wrong if you bring God in and allow him to direct you We ask God to open our spiritual eyes Anyone who hears from God accurately will prosper
