Stay in Your Godly Domain

When Dinah went out of her father’s household to visit the Shechemite women in Genesis 34 but eventually got raped, it was a picture God is using to teach us Christians not to go outside the Church to make “close and intimate friends.” That isn’t just a limitation. However, it’s God’s design to protect you from being violated and defiled by wicked people walking around like good people.

Allow God to Get Rid of Bad Influences

Sometimes, God intentionally allows godless people near us to prosper so that they’ll leave our lives for us to remain concentrated on Him. Don’t be deceived. Not everything that glitters is gold. Stop envying a financially prosperous but worldly friend. Stop comparing your life to his. Instead, focus on following God.

Closely Follow Your Leader

Your leaders in Christ watch over your souls. When you follow them closely by emulating their ways that glorifies Christ, you’ll keep them from being grieved for discipling you and also protect yourself from making mistakes because of disobedience.

Use the Services of God

Analyse your life. Identify areas you’re struggling, whether physical (like handling finances) or spiritual (like lacking a deeper understanding of the Bible). Then ask God to show you which of His divine services offered in His kingdom to help deal with your issue(s).

Come to Your Senses

Though the prodigal son messed up, he came back to his senses. Could it be you’re so busy with life that you’re missing out on paying attention to some wrong things you’re doing that ought to be changed? Analyse your life in the light of God’s Word, and apply spiritual changes to some things you’re doing that are wrong.

Keep the Prophecies

By Rebekah keeping the prophecies on the children’s lives as was said by God in Genesis 25:23, she waged a good warfare to ensure Jacob, the younger child, inherit the first-born blessings of Isaac. Treasure what God has told you about yourself and the people that matters to you.

Thrive in a Foreign Land

In Genesis 26:2, God instructed Isaac to stay in Gerar, a Phililstine city, although he wanted to journey to Egypt because of famine. God wanted to show him that He’s the God that can make His people thrive in foreign lands, even under hash conditions. So shall it be for you if you just obey what He tells you.
