Affliction Won’t Rise a Second Time
No Christian is protected from facing troubles in life. However, how we respond when they come will determine whether they’ll break us or God will use them to engraft His word in our lives.
Make Generational Choices
God doesn’t present generational choices in hefty packages. It’s in simple forms. It can be a text, an interview or something little to think about and decide. But if you fail to pray or be decisive on what’s best for God for your life, you’ll miss it and may never get it back. Be wise not to trivialise golden opportunities.
Clothe Yourself with Strength
God’s anointing is unlimited because Christ is unlimited. But His grace doesn’t flow through you to do what He has not called you to accomplish. So to conserve strength, you’ve got to give your time and attention to your specific calling, eliminating all forms of distractions as far as possible.
Put on Love
Decide to put on love. Wear the garment of God’s love wherever you go, not just in church, so that you can represent Jesus well at your location.
Accept the One Whose Faith Is Weak
You’re an ambassador of Christ. You don’t have to compromise God’s standards to win anybody to Jesus, but as to what you have to adjust for people to get saved, that won’t end you up sinning or speaking against God; consider it because of the faith strength of others.
Clothe Yourself with Christ
Friend, you’ve got to clothe yourself with Christ. He’s your true garment, not that bad habit you’ve been struggling for years to stop or that t-shirt you love best. The Holy Spirit dwells within you. And before you live like Jesus, you must consume His content – the Word and prayer through fellowship. Doing these two spiritual disciplines will improve your life holistically and all-round because your level of divine knowledge will definitely increase.
It Takes Diligence to Lead God’s People
Since Paul said in Romans 12:8 that “… if is to lead, do it diligently,” it means he understood that it takes diligence to lead God’s people. It takes a lot of work to bring people on board to follow one vision through discipline. Learn to pray for your leaders.
Present Your Body as a Living Sacrifice unto God
Life is beyond your physical achievements and possessions. So if you want your good works to outlive your physical existence, follow Jesus today, not lukewarmly, but graciously and sacrificially.
God Will Freely Give You All Things
Sometimes, we’re too conscious of what we don’t have instead of thanking God for what we have now. God will freely give you all things, not only because He has abundant resources but because He’s faithful and committed to you, whether people like you or not.
The Force Behind Concrete Decisions — Vision
There’s only one thing that can help you to make concrete decisions and enforce them. It’s called vision. As long as you know where God is taking you in the future, you’ll figure out where you’re not going so skillfully. You’ll easily be able to distinguish between the voice of God and the suggestions of people, as good as they may be.
To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life and Peace
So many things people see as earthly have spiritual meaning to them. If only we would study the scriptures and possess spiritual understanding, it’ll become easy to distinguish what’s flesh and what’s from the Spirit.
Be an Example to the Believers
See, no matter what you do, people are watching you. Unbelievers won’t understand your Christianity. That’s why Paul didn’t say we should be an example to everyone (but to believers alone). You don’t have to live to prove anything to anyone. But you must know that God is watching what you’re using that one life you have now to do. Live to please God so privately and consciously that your life will serve as an example to other believers, even without you knowing.
