1. WHEN YOU GET STUCK AT ANY JUNCTION...

I have had moments in my life where I needed clarity badly. I just didn't know how to connect the dots or navigate from that point to the next. I am about to reveal to you something I have found to be very true about finding clarity.

2. When you get stuck at any point, what you need is clarity. Clarity is one of your greatest needs for your journey in life and destiny. You will need it at the different phases, stages and aspects of your life.

3. Many of your struggles in life is traceable to a lack of clarity. I know this from not just being well informed but also from personal experience. The struggle of 5 years can be solved by one moment of clarity.

4. Clarity is a game changer. Everything seems to take shape and the dots connect once there's clarity. Direction is clear once there's clarity. Motion and momentum are hinged on clarity. Speed comes easy once you have clarity.

5. The journey of purpose is a journey of increasing clarity. You need clarity to unlock the next phase of your purpose. "The path of the just is like the shining light that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day." Prov 4:18

5. I know you have the Holy Spirit within you (if you're a believer in Christ) who is there primarily to guide you. Problem is that many times we're waiting to hear a voice from heaven when his answer (voice) is just around you. I know this very well cos I'v struggled too there.

6. So let me show you what many may be missing, and why it seems that they're still confused though they have the Holy Spirit and have been praying and fasting. It took me a while to understand this simple truth I'm about to share with you now.

7. See, the Holy Spirit will often lead you to a "teacher". And that's how clarity eventually comes - through the introduction of "teachers".

See this: "Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more;...

8. with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” "
Isaiah 30:20-21 NIV

You may want to read that again and pay close attention.

9. The voice of God to you will come through teachers. Teachers generally bring you needed counsel and instruction. They help you fix the missing pieces of the puzzle. They help you clear the cobwebs in your mind's eyes so you can see what is just right before you...

10.... but which you have been hitherto blinded to see. They (teachers) interpret to you what you have been perceiving in your heart but can't accurately decipher.

11. And teachers can take one or more of the following forms:
*coaches
*mentors
*trainers and instructors
*consultants/counselors
*spiritual leaders
*books (and other instructional materials)

12. Every time you come to a knotted junction in your life and confusion seems to becloud you, actively seek teachers. What you need is clarity which will come through their timely counsel.

And so that should be your major prayer point at that time.

13. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to your teacher(s) who will show you what you have been missing. It could be to lead you to the book you need to read or the right person you should talk to. Ask that your eyes see (recognize) your teachers so you don't miss him/her.

14. On a final note, let me add this for someone reading this: you have been seeking God for direction and He has already positioned your answer; God already sent your teachers. But you are despising them...

15. And that's perhaps because he/she/they didn't look like what you expect. Some of them are your friends, course mates, colleagues at work, your gatemen and cleaners, etc.

16. These people have your answer on their lips, and though you perceive this deep down, you're too proud to ask them for counsel or engage them in that conversation. Your head is getting in the way of your progress. I pray you receive sense (sorry, I meant to say 'wisdom' 😅).

17. Cheers to a clarity-filled 2021🥂
