GOD leads us by the way that we should go ~ (Isaiah 48:17)

God directs the steps of His people. It is His design that we would always depend on Him for guidance to succeed in whatever we do.  The path along which He directs us may not make sense to us, but He knows the beginning and the end of all things. Commit all your decisions and plans into His hands; never rely on your own understanding. He knows what is best for you.


If you have a Father-son/daughter relationship with God, do not ask Him to partner with you on that business, project, or anything that you lay your hands on, after you have made up your mind to go ahead with it, without His consent, and guidance.

GOD's ears are not heavy that He cannot hear. ~ Reference (Isaiah 59:1)

God hears the cry of His people and answers their prayers.  However, there are limitations to what He will do. He will never violate His covenant, alter what He has uttered, or be a part of anything that contradicts His nature. If we ask God for example to curse the one He has already blessed or ask Him to bless a fraudulent business, ministry etc., He will not. Asking God to do things that will compromise His nature is asking Him to vacate His throne; that will never happen!


Similarly, prayers that are contrary to His plan for us will remain unanswered in our own interest, even though we may not realize it. We should not be discouraged and conclude that it is only if our prayers are lengthy or said in a particular manner that we would receive from God. In most cases, when we are in right standing with Him and it seems He has said "No" to a request, there is always a good reason for it. He decides what is best for those who love and serve Him.
