As a believer, you need divine direction to succeed in life and ministry. You were bought by God (1 Corinthians 6:20). You are now God’s property. No issue of your life is too small or too big to talk to God about.

Divine direction is the evidence of God’s presence in your life. It gives you light in making decisions (Nehemiah 9:12). It delivers cheap victory to you in all battles of life (1 Samuel 23:1-5). Jesus always acted in line with divine direction. He said whatever He sees His Father do, is what He does also. Divine direction is your birthright as a believer. In addition, divine direction fosters a closer walk with God and that brings about maturity. Divine direction also makes our ways perfect. The ways of God are perfect. As we obey His leading, our ways will be perfect (Isaiah 48:17).
Divine direction guarantees you divine protection (Psalm 105:14-15). It helps to accomplish God’s plans and purposes for your life. Walking in divine direction is walking in the strength of God.
God desires to guide us because by so doing, His will is made known to every child of God and humanity in general (Amos 3:7). He wants to guide us so that we can cooperate with His plans for us and the human race. When God directs us, He provides for us. His desire for us is that we prosper (2 John 2). God also guides us in order to keep us away from pride. He guides us to keep us away from destructions (Job 33:13).
In the Old Testament, God guided His children through the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire (Exodus 13:18-21). Urim and Thummim (Exodus 28:30; Numbers 27:18-24; Leviticus 8:18), by prophets (2 Kings 3:11), through dreams (Genesis 28:10-15), angelic appearance (Judges 6:11-12, 13:2-5), through the fleece (Judges 6:36-40). As a New Testament believer, you can get divine guidance through God’s word (Psalm 119:15), through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14). Therefore, you should learn how to develop a good relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Beloved, for you to succeed in all endeavours in life, getting divine direction or guidance is essential. God is all-knowing and will guide all who ask Him for direction. Many people are living in pain and regret today because they made major life decisions without asking God for His direction or guidance. Don’t make such a mistake. Prevention is better and cheaper than cure. Don’t lean on your understanding or that of human experts alone, ask God! If you have made the mistake of making choices without asking God first, I pray that His mercy will bail you out of the consequence(s) you are facing, in Jesus’ mighty name.
