When we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. And to achieve this, we should engage in spiritual exercises in Christ that will help us connect to Him. Be like David, who sought God (see Psalm 41:1-2) even though he was a busy king.
As children of God, the importance of favour in our lives cannot be overemphasised. It is basically our spiritual legal tender for trade, our certificate in anything we do, our visa to anywhere on this Earth and our key to unlocking any kind of door we want in life, all for the glory of our Father. Here are three ways of stirring up God’s favour in our lives.
God didn’t sentence any pastor to poverty when He called him into the ministry. He has provided principles in His Word that will help them, even though many people don’t know or walk in them. You’re supposed to be a blessing to your pastor as soon as you joined his ministry.
As much as you strive to be the light God has called you to be, be careful when handling the weak and fallen ones in the faith that come to you.
Become a student of the Word and a living epistle of it. Divine knowledge will abound in your walk with God, and you’ll find it easy to run checks on your life by spiritual discernment between good and evil.
Pastors, like humans, also need help. Sometimes you can’t provide all the help your pastor needs. But for sure, your prayer for him goes a long way to impact his life and divine calling.
[14] “So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,” — Matthew 2:14 NIV If I’m told to mention one submissive wife I highly revere in the New Testament, I’ll point out Mary. She never fought with her husband and never argued […]
Joseph’s submission unto God to take his little family to Egypt at night saved little Jesus from being killed. It’s essential to be prompt in obeying God, regardless of the circumstances around your life.
Through a normal greeting from Mary, Elizabeth felt the impact. How sensitive are your spiritual senses, even in ordinary conversations with the brethren?
Instead of Mary receiving the news and thinking about the “how” later, she probed further to understand God’s instruction by saying, “How will this be?…”. You have to do the same thing to get clarity about God’s promises.
All that the Magi (wise men) did was to pull resources together to honour Jesus, even as a little baby. Today, this principle hasn’t changed; in that, it’s better to fulfil a vision with a team than to do it alone.
Mary was betrothed to Joseph before the angel Gabriel came to tell her that Jesus would come to the Earth through her. To both of them, it was a heavy blow to their smooth marriage plans. However, to God, it was the fulfilment of prophecy. Learn to nurture God’s promises through faith and patience.
