Dear friend, the Bible says you must rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. In your waiting period, remain at peace, and the way to do that is to cease thinking about the successes of others. Do yourself a favour by praying earnestly for the peace of God to rule in your heart and mind (see Philippians 4:6-7). And don’t rush into things just to please others.

God’s word says He will give you a righteous reward that shines like the dawn when you commit your ways to Him. I’m sure you want God’s rewards. Right? But what does it mean to commit your way to Him?

Comparison is one thing many people don’t talk about, yet it is happening in the minds of many. Some people watch what their peers are doing and view themselves as having delayed lifestyles. If you have this mental struggle, the earlier you understand that God has earmarked every person’s walk of faith differently, the better. You must have a long view of life before you can understand certain things well.

Jesus told the men who followed Him that they would no longer catch fish on the sea but would fish people. In other words, their mission as fishermen changed from sea-fishing to men-fishing: the same mission but a different method. Could it be that the area God is calling you into ministry with may not necessarily take you out of your career?

Don’t lust after material gains. I speak this primarily to the ministers of the gospel. If God has said He will bless you, it is not your job to figure out how He will do it. Just remain focused as You do His work. And when He finds your heart faithful, He can send even unbelievers to provide massively to make His work well-funded. Trust in Him!

The journey to discovering who you are isn’t found in isolating certain things you like and dislike about yourself but in understanding your complete God-given purpose. So, your true satisfaction comes from aligning with the bigger picture of what God has in mind.

Peter complained to Jesus about how they were unable to catch even one fish after an overnight toil. Imagine a husband like Peter going to work and coming back with zero. So painful. Right? But when Jesus showed him what to do, he caught so many fish that the net he was using with the other fishermen in the boat started breaking. One miracle cancelled out a twelve-hour zero work. Dear one, wait on God for divine direction.

Where do you store your treasures? In heaven (the Spirit realm) or on earth? Choose the former because that is the solid foundation upon which you can get the latter without pressures from the world.

Knowledge has increased, and many believers know that being born again isn’t dependent on sets of dos and don’ts. Circumcision still counts, but God does it to the heart. Don’t let people’s doctrines deceive you.

Understand this, dear child of God. If the Bible says you shall judge angels and the world (see 1 Corinthians 6:2-3), why should you allow unbelieving judges in courts to settle disputes you have with others in the church?

Hypocritical people are usually hard to notice at the onset. Because attitude is like pregnancy, it shows off fully with time. Accept people as Christ accepted you. But distinguish yourself from hypocritical believers who act like sheep on the outside but are actually wolves on the inside.

When electricity is present, many focus on using it. The moment it goes off, the impact is heavily felt. The kingdom of God functions in the same way. It is a matter of power, not mere words. But that power seems invisible and ineffective in a believer’s life until he understands it and learns how to use it effectively.
