I Watch in Hope of the Lord
When you wake up, what do you thank God for? What burdens do you cast to the Lord daily? This world isn’t fair, and too many people say times are hard. Would you learn to watch in hope of the Lord?
God Tests Your Heart
God tests your heart by using situations to refine your faith. In other words, when all things seem nasty, and you still hold on to His Word, you’ll learn to trust Him well.
How Greatness Connects to Achievements
Looking at Matthew 23:11 again, Jesus addressed the disciples as a group. He explained that the one person who wanted to be the greatest would serve all of them. That means, your greatness is linked to your achievements if what you achieve serve other people’s needs
Know Where to Place Value
Jesus knows the importance of value. So He said in Matthew 7:6 that you shouldn’t give what is holy to dogs; neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them underfoot and damage them. In other words, Jesus was cautioning us to know where to place value, so we can allocate what’s good to the right people.
You Can’t Serve Both God and Money
When you work for money instead of purpose, you’re indirectly serving mammon. But when you work for your divine purpose and get money in return for your labour, you’re serving the God who rewards and blesses people to enjoy their riches and give some to others.
Live Out Your Time as a Foreigner on Earth
We’re on earth for a temporary time frame. And in that time, we have divine mandates to fulfil that seek to extend the government of God’s kingdom here. But when we decide to abandon our purposes and mingle ourselves with worldly people, we live in forgetfulness, thinking we came to make a name, fame and a living here. And that’s not supposed to be so.
Crave Pure Spiritual Milk
Babies cry to their mothers when they are hungry. In Christ, that implies you must not casually expect to be fed by the labour of your pastor or ministers. Instead, you must pursue knowing God by yourself by becoming more deterministic in consuming sound doctrine in the Word.
Be Holy in All You Do
God instructs us through Peter that we must be holy in all we do (1 Peter 1:14-16). But how? By refusing to conform to the evil desires we had when we didn’t know God. And checking our actions to ensure each one carries an element of godliness.
Store Up for Yourself Treasures in Heaven
Everything earthly is temporary. Use what God has blessed you with to do good works. In that way, your treasures in heaven will increase since God records your good works in heaven as Christians.
The Entrance of God’s Word Gives Light
Until the Word enters you, you’ll not have the light of life to live like Jesus. It’s not enough to know the Word; you have to understand it. So that you’ll not live as a simple (foolish) person but as wise.
Make Conscious Sacrifices to Obey God
David kept his feet from evil people only to stay true to God’s Word. In today’s world, it’s just like consciously deciding to disassociate yourself from bad people to preserve the prophecies upon your life.
God Will Never Be Unfaithful to You
God knows every single detail about your life. Before you got saved, He vowed to be faithful to you.
So God is too concerned about Your life that He made provisions to help you before you even got into any trouble.
