You Have No Need in Eternal Life and Godliness
Stop begging and living like a hustler while there’s eternal life dwelling inside you! Get to know God more intimately, and every need you think you have will be met by Jesus without your human toils.
Grace and Peace Be Multiplied unto You
When the Apostle Peter wrote, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you …” (2 Peter 1:2), he didn’t end there. He continued to show us how this multiplication would occur. That is, through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Jesus our Lord. So the more you know God and Jesus, the more grace you’ll walk in and more peace you’ll enjoy, even amid turmoils in this evil age.
Getting Born Again Is Not a Surprise to God
God chose you in Christ before the foundation of this world to be holy and blameless before Him in love. But on top of that, He predestined you to be adopted as His child through Jesus Christ. So when Jesus died and was resurrected, He paved the way for you to get closer to God.
God Chose You in Christ Before the Foundation of the World
God didn’t choose you just for no reason. No! Ephesians 1:4 says He chose you to be holy and without blame before Him in love.
God Will Always Be with You
Isaiah 43:2 says that when you pass through the waters, meaning difficulties, God will be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, meaning hefty issues that have killed people, those situations won’t override His presence of peace in your life. And in the fire too, you shall not be burned. All these means that God will always be with you, even in the most difficult situations.
Pay Back Good for Evil
For us Christians, God doesn’t want us to carry both good and evil thoughts in our minds. That is why He wants to build a world where believers will need nothing from the world to go about life’s activities. But since we live in an evil age (see Galatians 1:4) where some people we interact with daily are unbelievers, He doesn’t want us to be ignorant of their evil ways.
Do Not Associate with People Given to Change
Child of God, disassociate from people living confused. Do not follow their counsel, or else they’ll infect you with their confusion. God created you on purpose for a purpose. Find out that purpose by developing a deeper intimacy with Him, follow Him as you’ve heard Him speak, and your life won’t be the same again.
Blessed Is the Man Who Endures Temptation
When you submit to God’s ways to overcome temptation, the Bible says blessed are you (James 1:12). But what kind of blessing is that? It’s called the reception of the crown of life, which God has promised for only those who love Him. That means you’ll receive life to live above such temptation.
You Shall Bear Fruit in Your Old Age
To the young believer who keeps investing in knowing God more intimately day by day, you shall bear fruit in your old age. You shall flourish in the courts of God. You shall come up with innovations that make God known in this evil generation in the name of Jesus.
What Does It Mean to Receive the Kingdom of God as a Little Child?
For Jesus to say that to receive God’s kingdom in order to enter therein, you’ve got to do it as a child, it means that He (Jesus) doesn’t want anybody to get saved with preconceived thoughts of how one’s life will be transformed.
Purge Your Life
When Jesus said, “And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell…” (Mark 9:45), He was speaking of purging lives of worldly distractions that keep them from hearing and following Him, not doing surgery to take out your legs.
Nobody Can Search Your Heart
As a believer, male or female, you are a king in Christ, not a queen (for the ladies). Therefore, nobody can search your heart. That further means that no one can find out God’s prophetic decrees in your life.
