When Lot saw the well-watered plain of Jordan, he thought choosing it was a good place for his family and herdsmen. Later on, he was found in Sodom, being tormented daily by the evil deeds of those people. As a person of vision, give others the space to make their choices, whether good or bad. However, be like Abraham, who waited on the Lord to hear what He had to say before taking the next step.
Cast down negative imaginations. They come as suggestions, but they aren’t your thoughts. Give the devil no chance. Resist him because he’s after your destruction, not your success. Be committed to obeying God.
God loves you and wants you to have everything He has made available pertaining to eternal life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). But you must know Him. Study the Bible, read, and check the words you speak. Be Christ-conscious. For life is all about Jesus.
The Bible doesn’t say “a wise wife builds her house…”. It says “a wise woman builds her house” (Proverbs 14:1). That means a woman doesn’t necessarily need to be someone’s wife to build her house. Again, she doesn’t need to possess large sums of money in her bank accounts to construct a physical house though she can do it with the strength of God. There’s one principal thing she needs. It’s called divine wisdom.
God is so creative that He has given each person a unique fingerprint since the time of Adam. That implies that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 127:14), and there’s no replica of you anywhere on the earth. Why don’t you believe this truth in order to put your mind to rest in the Lord?
In 1 Kings 22, Micaiah, a prophet of the secret place, saw that King Ahab would die if he went to war with Ramoth Gilead. But because his other prophets assured the king a win, he too decided to lie. He was scolded, and later told the truth. You don’t have to compromise just because your compatriots are doing same. Stand for the Truth of God’s Word.
We’re children of God. Hence, we’re children of the promise because Christ, Abraham’s seed, dwells in us (Galatians 3:29). Which means we have full access to partake in the blessings of Abraham. So whatever blessing God proclaimed on Abraham has been inherited by us.
You shall have what you say in prayer. But before that, you have to speak what you want to see. Is there anything in your life you don’t like? God has revealed that nuisance to you so that through you, He’ll bring redemption to it. Don’t watch things get spoilt in your life without doing anything about it.
Servant of God, you don’t handle the increase. God does (1 Corinthians 3:6). Do your part. Preach the message of Christ to all manner of people.
The more you pray and fast, the more you yield to the Lord. And the more you yield to the Lord, the more He, through the Holy Spirit, will use you to do great things in His kingdom.
Stop trivialising leaders and coveting their positions. You may not be the boss at your workplace. However, focus on serving and doing what’s godly but uncommon such as practising daily Bible reading, fasting, book reading and praying consistently. God will exalt you.
Don’t live in ignorance. Be hungry to know God more. Study the Bible yourself. Read right Christ-centred books yourself. Pray the Word yourself. Don’t be lazy and too dependent on other people to feed you spiritually. Invest in your personal spiritual growth.
