Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.

Isaiah 30:21 NKJV

One of the greatest advantages of a believer is our ability to hear God. It gives us direction, it strengthens us in difficult times and allays our fear in challenging situations. It helps us to act ahead of the enemy’s plot. It gives us an edge in life, because the God of the whole earth, that knows the end from the beginning and sees all things, and knows the hearts of men is our GPS.

You see God wants to talk to us His children, He wants to lead us, share with us secrets that are meant for our benefits. Until you begin to hear God and be led by the spirit as a believer, you will live an ordinary, superficial and colorless life. Your progress will be slow or stalled, your journey in life will not be as exciting. Therefore, there is the need for us to cultivate the ability to hear God.

Hearing God will help you to know where to invest and when to invest; you will know the route to take or to avoid; it helps you to take advantage of profitable opportunities and prevent you from traps that look like opportunity. It is God’s desire that you’re led by His spirit even as you prepare for the coming year.
