4 easy steps to understand God's Will for your life.

Understanding God's Will for your life

1. The first step to understanding God's Will, plan, or purpose for your life at any given time is to wait on Him or inquire of Him. Many people make the mistake of asking for other people's opinions, or even going with the suggestions of others, without first waiting on God to see what He has to say or do about the questions they are asking. This step will save you from future ' had I known. Why not inquire of Him who knows all things.

Habakkuk 2:1I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint. (NLT)

Waiting on God will then take you to the next step.


2. Pray it through; God can reveal to you His plans and Will through prayer. It may not come fully formed, but as you wait, it starts to become clearer. Because you have the spirit of God in you, the Holy spirit can pick up signals and deep things, plans, and purposes in God's heart and reveal them to yours. 1corthians 2:10 says it: But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things. TPT

Remember the Holy Spirit is there to help you, especially in those areas where you can't help yourself. ( Rom 8:26-27)


3. The third way to understand God's Will for your life is to study His Word. I know, you may say you have been studying before now, but this is a different way of studying. Study His Word according to the particular area you want to know His Will. Maybe it's marriage, what does God's word say about marriage ( getting a spouse, children, family, etc) or it's about ministry, career, and so on. What does God's word say about them? This step is a very critical one and will answer more questions. God said something beautiful in Rom 12:2 ' Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes'

You can discern God's Will when you renew your mind with His Word.


4. There is one last step, but this is after you might have seen or known His plan for you, that step is to ACCEPT HIS WILL... It may not make sense at the time, and all odds may seem to be against you, but you have got to accept it and walk in it.

Those who trust in the Lord will never be ashamed or defeated. ( Psalm 125: 1)

What to do when you are stuck | My story

 I stood in the middle of the road, thinking, asking myself why I got into this. I could not start trekking the 2hrs journey with my legs that had been stressed enough for that day. Neither could I gather myself together or even think of asking someone I don't even know from anywhere to assist me with my transport fare back home. Have you ever been stuck like this before? Maybe it's not exactly in the middle of the road. Maybe it's a relationship, you know you need to get out of. Or dilemma, where you have to choose from two options that you don't even want. Being stuck can be really frustrating, I mean really really frustrating. But the real deal is "how do you handle such situations?" I had just had one of the most stressful days of my life... Finished my first job in the morning and was now rounding up the next. I was relying so much on what I would be paid that evening, All the money I had on me got exhausted on expenses I could not run away from that day....

What do you have now ?

The rate at which people are getting anxious, tired, depressed, and frustrated these days has been on an increase. I almost lost 3 of my friends to these things, but thank God they picked up once they discovered the solution to their problems. That's what I will be sharing here. I have discovered the true cause of depression, anxiety, and frustration. I found out that everyone I have spoken to or counseled as regards this issue, all gave similar replies. They were all focusing on the wrong details of their lives.  They were paying so much attention to all the things they couldn't or have not been able to do, they were focusing so much on what they have not been able to get right, and they were absorbed in all the things they couldn't control. They had lost sight of all their strengths and were now focusing on their weaknesses. Such focus will only end up draining strength and hope from you. I understand that you may not have everything in control now. I get that things may...

You are a LIFE-GIVER | a reminder

He was lying dead on the table right there before my eyes. I could hear the sound of all the people outside the room, crying, mourning and lamenting. Every one was disoriented, not knowing what to do next. I was in the room with a friend and she was trying to tell me what happened, she said some people came into the room and shot the little boy , I just couldn't believe it. Of course I could see that he was lying lifeless on the table there but I just couldn't accept that he was dead. At that moment, I began to shout and declare.." You are full of life! You are full of life! as I drew near to the child. My friend beside me thought I had lost my mind, but when she observed that the little boy started moving as I spoke those words she went to lock the door, just to keep the crying people out... I hadn't stopped speaking life to the child, I was praying in the spirit and at the same time declaring,"You are full of life" to the child. And gradually, life started ...
