Many have made a lot of very
regrettable mistakes as they try to find
their ways to success. Many have
taken wrong directions that have led
them far away from their success
destinations. There are those who took
certain route thinking it would surely
lead them to success only to discover
they have made a wrong move. From
experience, man generally assumes he
knows a lot and does not need anyone
to guide him, not even God. This
accounts for so many failures in the
lives of people.
As you make plans to commence your
success journey, it is important to take
counsel from God for direction. God
knows what is best for you as well as
the way you need to follow to get there.
This is why it is best to commit your way
into His hands, allow Him to take you by
the hand and lead you all the way. The
Bible says 'Commit thy way unto the
Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall
bring it to pass' (Ps. 37:5). One thing
you must know is that God never
makes a mistake and He cannot miss
the way. The good thing about letting
God guide you is that it saves you from the agony
and regrets of a wrong move. In addition, it
prevents wasted efforts and helps you to get to the
desired destination on time. This, however, does
not mean you will not encounter challenges or
difficulties on your way. Sometimes, you may have
fears and doubts about the way. At other times, the
way may look unconventional and unfamiliar. In
such times, all you have to do is to keep trusting
Him. Be assured that He cannot lead
and He will not abandon you along the way. This is
why it pays to let Him guide, lead and take you
astray
there.
The following tips provide the step-by-step guide
on how to follow God on the roadmap to success
However, it is important to realize that you must
become a child of God first. When you get bom
again, it becomes easy for God to speak to you
and then you hear His voice easily. You also have
to ask God to lead and direct you. He does this
when you pray about your plans and goals. Be
willing to have Him guide you and don't be self-
willed, stubborn or rebellious! Do not follow the
easy ways that the devil may point your attention
to. Never mind that so many youths of your age
are following these ways. The Bible warms that
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man
but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Prov.
14:12). If you can keep to God and trust Him to
guide you, your success is guaranteed. SHALOM
