Your persistent prayers doesn’t infuriate God. He is not an intentional delayer. He knows why He does all the things He does. Even if you don’t understand His ways, seek to know them, and put your trust in Him.
The flesh (sin nature) has been rendered powerless in your life. But you have to live under the Spirit’s empowerment to overcome every evil desire the devil introduces in your mind.
It’s better to say what God tells you than to twist what He has said only to sound good in people’s ears. If we keep preaching what people want to hear, how can they change?
Don’t withhold your seed. When you see a need and it’s in your capacity to give, do so as inspired by the Lord.
Eternal life is in Christ alone (1 John 5:11-12). Help people get saved so that they’ll also receive the Spirit of Christ in them in order to have access to eternal life. Don’t just evangelise unto people; live as you ought to live in Christ while praying for souls to be saved.
How do you rate your dedication to God as to others? Check what and who takes much of your time, because whatever claims your allegiance or much of your time other than your fellowship with God might be an idol in your life.
Don’t concentrate on what you’ll lose by dedicating your life to God. Focus on following Jesus. He’ll transform your life beyond measure. He knows what you need. He knows what’s best for you. Listen to Him, and remain committed to His mission. He’ll always take care of you.
Don’t stop giving just because there are many evils in society. Give, and you’ll receive more in return (Proverbs 11:24). However, discern to know why a poor person you’ve encountered needs your money before giving. By so doing, you’ll tell them about Jesus before they get your resources.
Test your actions. Allow the Spirit of God to help you identify life areas you need correction and transformation, and then pray for Him to take control. He can use others to notify you in those areas. Therefore, don’t neglect correction despite the discomfort it brings.
With whatever evil prevails in the world, God’s children have overcome them through faith in Jesus (1 John 5:4). But there’s a decision to make. Will we stand for Christ by living the victorious Christian life over evil or become adversely affected by societal evils?
How much exploits each one will do unto God’s kingdom is heavily dependent on how we spend what we receive from the Lord no matter wherever we find ourselves.
