Your Eye Is Your Body’s Lamp
You train your spiritual eye to see by beholding God’s Word in all that you do. That is why consistent study of the scriptures, coupled with prayer and fasting, is essential in your life as a believer.

Lack of service, prioritising family voices over God, and not allowing the dead to bury their dead are roadblocks to following Jesus that we create ourselves. Trusting and putting Jesus first as a leader is the way to go on our journey with Him.
We live in an evil age. So the devil won’t watch you have a life full of bliss without trying to do something to turn you down. You must pray.
As a child of God, your primary source of doctrine for your life is the Word, not cultural beliefs, racial beliefs or even your own experiences. Again, it is the Word of God. So, you must submit to God’s Word every day and use it for your decisions.
One of the most challenging things to do in prayer is to keep speaking in a natural language for long. In fact, it’s hard to pray in that way. And that is why tongues speaking is so good and beneficial to the believer. It helps you to pray with so much strength and focus on God as the Spirit gives you utterance.
Just because Jesus told the Israelites that when they pray, they should shut their doors and do it doesn’t mean prayers done in the room are the only form of prayers He wants us to emulate. No! He wants us to pray with a private mindset – that is, connecting to our Maker and caring less about what people say about our deeds. If Jesus said this, then it is possible.
Want to have strength for whatever God has called you to do each day? Look no further than fellowshiping with God. Remember that God is able to give you all the things you need for the fulfilment of divine purpose. So, pursue a deeper intimacy with Him rather than chasing the things.
If the Bible is telling you to walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, then there should be another influence upon your life, higher and godly enough to erase any lousy talk from surrounding ungodly people. That’s the Word!
Psalm 25:14 is one eye-opening scripture I’ve seen in the Bible. It says those who fear the Lord are those whom He entrusts His secret with. So the question is, can God trust you with His secret?
True service to God involves a genuine connection from within, a sincerity that comes from the depths of one’s being. So, whether in public or private, you’re expected to uphold purity in all aspects of your life. To serve God effectively, you need a heart wholly devoted and surrendered to His will because He is holy. Only then can your actions turn from mere religious routines into meaningful service aligned with God’s plan.
Your job is to pray. God’s duty is to grant you your prayer requests. You don’t have to live worrying about how God will meet your needs or fulfil what He has said concerning your life.
You are more valuable than birds. That means God is able to meet your needs far beyond what you’ll just eat to survive. Stop worrying. Stop wailing over what you don’t have. While it’s good to have the future in view, love enjoying today as the day the Lord has made.
