WHEN WE'RE FACING THE HARDEST OBSTACLES: WHAT TO KNOW AND THE WAY FORWARD** (Article 3

*WHEN WE'RE FACING THE HARDEST OBSTACLES: WHAT TO KNOW AND THE WAY FORWARD** (Article 3) 

Happy New Week! Welcome to a productive week again; you need to be intentional to make the week count; set your goals and your to-do lists, and write out what to achieve this week without involving money. Write out what you're willing to control to change your life. To be productive you need to prepare for the week. Let me continue the Article I have been inspired to write.....

In the previous article, I addressed the need to be self-aware and take responsibility for the obstacles; in the second article, I addressed the case of Seeking help when facing the hardest Obstacles. In this third article, let's discuss the way forward to face the hardest Obstacles, which I call Seeking guidance. The second article is about the person coming into the face of the obstacles to help out. This is related, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the person comes into the situation directly to help; it means receiving Advice or direction from someone about the hardest obstacles. 

Let me drive more deeply, and I love to write with details; you may be thinking, what is the difference between help and guidance? The two are different, even a scripture drop in my heart that I will use to explain this article better but before that, "Seeking guidance is about receiving advice or direction, while seeking help is about asking for someone to assist with a task or problem. Guidance focuses on getting information or opinions to help make a decision, while help involves someone taking action to assist with a specific need." 

When you seek guidance, you're primarily looking for someone to offer their perspective, wisdom, or experience to help you understand a situation or make a decision. You're not necessarily asking for someone to do something for you, but rather for their insight or advice on the hardest Obstacles you're facing.  When facing the hardest obstacles, you need to understand when you need help or guidance. It's important. Seeking Guidance for obstacles gives you knowledge on how to go about difficult problems and, most of the time, opens your eyes to things you didn't see before about the Obstacles. Let's check a scripture to understand better:

Scripture 1:

Luke 5.4 - When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."

Luke 5.5 - Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."

Luke 5.6 - When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.

Luke 5:7 - So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

From this scripture above, the Holy Spirit has given me different Inspirations and meanings, but what the article discusses is helping you to face your difficult problems. St Peter also faces the hardest Obstacles: they work hard all night, but the problem of fishing there trying to solve it can't be solved. Many times, we're really facing our difficult problems in life. But many Obstacles may not be moved or overcome if you don't seek guidance or if someone offers you the right knowledge. Peter and his team work and work hard, with no solution to their fishing problem. But when Jesus gave his advice, it was solved. To me, the best and perfect place to seek Guidance related to the difficult problems in your life is from Jesus Christ. 

After Jesus gives his word "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch." What seems like the difficulty problem was solved. Seek your guidance today, and receive a solution to your obstacles. A word from Jesus we put your right to move or overcome the obstacles in your life. In life, we need to keep learning how to seek advice and make the right decision; one wrong direction can destroy everything about us. That's why you need to seek guidance from Jesus to take the right direction for every Ares of your life. 

I believe that God has impacted some men; with the knowledge of God, they also have the authority to give you words, and the words will give you great insight into the way out of your hardest obstacles. Find men who face the obstacles in your life, and seek their guidance. Men who know God, men who understand the law of God, Mentors or Wise Counsel – People who’ve walked similar paths can offer clarity, encouragement, and perspective. Without the right knowledge, you can't navigate through the hardest Obstacles. 

For you not to be a parish of the difficult problem, you need the right knowledge. And guidance is one of the ways to get the right knowledge. Most of the time, I pick a book to read just to seek guidance from the author who writes the book. Writers don't just read; anyone who wants to be productive doesn't just read. We read to know what the author knows, to apply to our daily lives. 

Let me share a short story on how guidance helps me in the right direction. I was called by a Company in Lagos to come and work with them and offered a huge amount of money. So I was preparing everything to go to Lagos, but I found it difficult to make a decision about the journey; I was thinking about whether to leave my business and go and work under a company. When I was desperate to learn about the operation of the company. But I was praying I still didn't receive any decisions to take, So I called a mentor to seek guidance, "HE SAID  BUILDING MAY BE HARD, BUT WHEN I AM SURE IT'S MY VISION AND PASSION I SHOULD KEEP BUILDING MY OWN BUSINESS"  I felt Peace with those words, two days AFTER The Holy Spirit makes it clear for me that he's not in the plan of me going to work under a company. 

Guidance is so important when you're facing any Hardest Obstacles in your life. Humble yourself and seek guidance. 

Finally, we will continue this article tomorrow; I want you to write areas in which you need guidance and ask who you can call to seek advice. Do I need to pray? Do I need to call someone more knowledgeable than me? There's nothing like the hardest obstacles. It's just that you're not seeing the way out. Seek guidance. God bless you.

Write from a place of inspiration and scriptural insight, and I look forward to sharing the next articles with you. Remember, you’re not alone; He is with you

Stay tuned for more inspired thoughts before the next article.

I hope you feel inspired.
