When you start teaching your partner the ways of God starting from your relationship, you build her up spiritually, create an avenue for your personal spiritual growth (because you’ll study what you’ll teach her), and also prove to God that you can steward His heritage, the children (Psalm 127:3.)
Cut back your spending and excessive sleep periods to work and follow God’s vision upon your life. The blessing of restlessness, because of productive work will be released by God upon your life.
It’s very significant to network with new people wherever you go because you might never know how a one-day meeting with a stranger would end you up getting the service of a destiny helper or even a mate (like how Jacob met Rachel.)
You may be treated harshly at your workplace. But, can I tell you something? Follow God to deal with your bad boss. His ways are higher than yours.
When Dinah went out of her father’s household to visit the Shechemite women in Genesis 34 but eventually got raped, it was a picture God is using to teach us Christians not to go outside the Church to make “close and intimate friends.” That isn’t just a limitation. However, it’s God’s design to protect you from being violated and defiled by wicked people walking around like good people.
Sometimes, God intentionally allows godless people near us to prosper so that they’ll leave our lives for us to remain concentrated on Him. Don’t be deceived. Not everything that glitters is gold. Stop envying a financially prosperous but worldly friend. Stop comparing your life to his. Instead, focus on following God.
Your leaders in Christ watch over your souls. When you follow them closely by emulating their ways that glorifies Christ, you’ll keep them from being grieved for discipling you and also protect yourself from making mistakes because of disobedience.
Analyse your life. Identify areas you’re struggling, whether physical (like handling finances) or spiritual (like lacking a deeper understanding of the Bible). Then ask God to show you which of His divine services offered in His kingdom to help deal with your issue(s).
Though the prodigal son messed up, he came back to his senses. Could it be you’re so busy with life that you’re missing out on paying attention to some wrong things you’re doing that ought to be changed? Analyse your life in the light of God’s Word, and apply spiritual changes to some things you’re doing that are wrong.
One important thing to do in life, especially as a minister, is to watch your life closely. You must intentionally analyze and take knowledge of your own life — spirit, soul, and body.
When God shows even little excerpts of His plans concerning your life, write them down and keep them at a place you’ll see them frequently. Anytime you see it, you’ll instantly reiterate the promises of God in your life.
By Rebekah keeping the prophecies on the children’s lives as was said by God in Genesis 25:23, she waged a good warfare to ensure Jacob, the younger child, inherit the first-born blessings of Isaac. Treasure what God has told you about yourself and the people that matters to you.
