Go beyond listening to sermons and reading Christian articles. Practice what you get ministered to via these spiritual resources. They’ll help you stay conscious of your identity in Christ, despite the pressures of compromise from the world.
God doesn’t want you to be a loser in the face of life’s issues. He has made you more than a conqueror in Christ (Romans 8:37). However, you’ve got to obtain divine wisdom to manifest this reality in eternal life, which is your possession.
If you spend whatever you have now on pleasures, you’ll not have your future needs in perspective. Don’t think like there’s no tomorrow. Be visionary and thoughtful. Think about how future generations will benefit from your choices today, and out of that understanding, take refuge by saving money and investing your time and resources wisely.
Before you say something, vet the thought that comes into your mind about it. Is it godly? Will it end up ministering grace to the other person or slander him? If you are careful to do this, you’ll keep your soul from troubles that emerge because of poor word choices.

Maybe you’re a skilled liar, a hypocrite or careless in speech. Just keep exposing yourself to God’s Word consistently. Your heart will be impacted; your mind will be filled with spiritual things, and eventually, the words you speak will be godly.
Who are you following in Christ? Are these mentors doing great things? If yes, I recommend that you follow them closely because seeing their works will expose you to an abundance mentality while having a reverential view of great Christian leaders.
God is interested in making future generations remember His wondrous works in the lives of His people, even after they’re gone so that this evidence will cure the doubt of His power in manifestation.
Young man, the picture-perfect person you’ve created in your mind to share life with doesn’t exist.
