Apostle Paul said clearly in Galatians 6:6 that the one who’s taught the Word should share in all good things with their instructor. In other words, it’s mandatory for congregants, whether physical or online, to support the one who ministers God’s Word to them.
If you build a spiritual system that’ll guide you to remain connected with God wherever you are, you’ll not starve your spirit of divine nourishment in the Lord.
In Proverbs 20:4, Solomon tells us something interesting about lazy people. He says if you see someone refusing to plow his work environment because it’s winter, that person is a lazy man. So whether you’re in lack, debt, or enjoying riches, you must be determined to work.
No matter how many great things you’ve achieved on this earth, remember that God gave you the strength and anointing to do it. Be careful of boasting about yourself because Nebuchadnezzar tried it and ended up in the bush for seven years.
It’s interesting how obstacles arise in Christian’s lives who decide to follow the ways of God. Some are real-life circumstances, but some are demonic. However, the most important thing one must always do is to hold on to God’s Word.
Don’t wait for someone to die before offering your best help to the person. No matter how much you value people, they’ll not recognise anything you do for them or their family when they are gone. Letting this consciousness be in you is very powerful for God to use to root out selfishness from your life.
There is no self-discipline without a clear vision. Why? Because it’s the vision that will help you determine how to use your time, energy, money and other resources. Without it, you’ll live a loose life.
Many times, God will bring people into your life that He has ordained to help you for your entire life. And truthfully, you’ll not recognise their calibre of help to be released in your life until you have a foresight of their future. Failure to discern the divine reason behind people’s presence can make you lose them, only to regret it later in your life.
A servant is never greater than his master. And since you are in Christ, you’re a servant of God. That means you’ll never be greater than Jesus. Hence, you must be intentional about following Him in all your ways.
Jesus likened His relationship with God’s people to a shepherd and sheep. That means, He being the shepherd, is responsible for guiding us through His voice, and providing for our needs, even if it involves dying for us (the sheep). And yes, He did it because He knew we needed salvation, even when we’ve not yet asked Him.
God marked out a race of faith for you before you came into Christ. So in Christ, it’s not just about receiving salvation. It’s about following Him daily, allowing Him to guide you every step. That is godly submission.
As Paul told pastor Timothy to watch both his life and doctrine closely, so I urge you to go and do the same. And by God’s grace, I pray that the Lord will guide you on the right path.
