Psalms32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

CIRCUMSTANCES

After my first year in the university, i wanted to venture into transportation business on campus. At that time, getting a bike from the hostel to the main campus and back to the hostel was not easy. The motorcycles couldn't serve the student population adequately. The entrepreneur instinct in me saw a business opportunity there. I asked one of the bike men how much his daily delivery was. When he told me, my eyes bulged. Those guys were making a whole lot then. Someone was also willing to sponsor my business idea then without a pay back or interest.

However, I decided to pray and enquire from God if I should go ahead. I didn't receive a word from God. I waited to observe how things would turn out. When I resumed in 200 level, I discovered that the school management had bought buses that would convey students from various hostels to the main campus. That was how I got the answer I needed from God. The bike men who were making so much from us weren't enjoying their business as usual. In fact, they reduced in number. God arranged that circumstance to lead me. Circumstances reveal God’s “Yes” or “No.”

There are certain leading from God that may not come in the dream or vision. God knows how to arrange circumstances that will point us to his perfect will for our lives. When you find yourself in that God-arranged circumstance, there would be a witness within you pointing you to the answer to your prayers of enquiry. Some rejections are God-ordained to lead you off the wrong path and place your feet on the right path. You need to be sensitive per time to know the circumstances God is using to lead you.
