After the angel Gabriel gave Mary the news that Jesus would be born through her and used Elisabeth’s case of giving birth in old age, she decided to go and stay with the old lady. Mary’s decision to go and stay with Elisabeth implies that it is prudent to hang around people who are pregnant with God’s promises.
Just like a child can’t lift weights, we can’t handle life alone. We need Jesus. Taking inspiration from Philippians 4:12-13, let’s explore how to achieve all things through Christ’s strength.
A person who is not intentional about giving may give only in times or situations where they are asked to give. When this happens, it is hard to do so privately. However, where a person has a system in place for giving, they are able to control the events of publicity that may occur from giving spontaneously.
By choosing to love our enemies, we express Christ. It also allows us to break the cycle of hatred and create opportunities for reconciliation and healing. Loving our enemies doesn’t mean condoning their actions or overlooking injustice; instead, it’s about responding with love and compassion.
Being a Christian does not make you immune to persecution. Christ Himself was persecuted. The apostles from the early church were persecuted for their faith. Therefore, the modern-day Christian is not exempted at all.
Unlock the transformative power of practice as we delve into the timeless wisdom of Scripture and discover the keys to unlocking our full potential.
God’s will doesn’t change in a person’s life. Why? Because He knows everybody’s life from beginning to end. So nothing that happens or change of decisions surprises Him. It is just that we don’t know the details of our lives like He does. So when He does something we ask or do not expect Him to do, it looks new to us.
There are some requests you make to heaven that don’t get sorted out by a few seconds of prayer. No! For some, you must pray about the same thing for months and even years. One of them is prayer for your loved ones to be saved. That kind of prayer doesn’t usually yield results overnight but over time.
Jesus Himself said in Mathew 6:31-32 that you should not worry about what to eat, drink or wear, for our Father in Heaven knows your needs. Many of us lose consciousness of our Father’s capability to provide, which shouldn’t be the case. Learn to depend on God for provision.
Jesus said in John 8:51 that “… whoever obeys my Word will never see death.” That means that even when we are in Christ and do not obey God’s Word, we are prone to face consistent hardship in life, and unfortunately, many believers are living like this. They are in Christ but disregard the authority of His Word over their lives. As followers of Christ, we must rely solely on His Word always. We ought to treasure it and carve it on our hearts.
Just as a lighthouse guides ships safely through stormy seas, God’s Word illuminates our path and orders our steps with divine clarity (see Psalm 119:105). You must pray until you get direction from God whenever you get stuck.
Every person has been given something by God and no matter how little, He expects you to exercise wisdom when using it.
