It pays to be completely humble and gentle. When God sees you to be humble and gentle, He will open doors for you that you never think it is possible. Don’t live always scheming ways to be arrogant to people, even if they talk badly about you. Let God avenge you, not yourself.
Consecration in fulfilling your divine mandate requires that you don’t touch the filth in the world. So even though you are in the world, you are not of it (see John 17:16). Let your thinking patterns and how you see life be rooted in the Word of God. In that way, you will always live a life worthy of your divine calling in Christ, no matter where you are on the face of this earth.
God loved you so much that He sent Jesus to come and die for you. So, what makes you think you’re less valuable before Him? It doesn’t matter how bad people have treated you for years. Maybe your parents haven’t taken care of you since infancy. But today, let it be registered in your consciousness that God loves you.
You must learn to give what you have decided in your heart to give because that is what scripture teaches. That implies that planning your offering and giving to support God’s work is necessary.
If you keep sinning little by little and think a greater judgment from the Lord won’t be passed upon your life if you don’t repent, think twice about what you’re doing. Always remember that God cannot be mocked. So live a clean life and keep sowing in the Spirit, and it shall end with you.
Be determined not to get close to things and areas that will trigger any form of sin. If it’s sexual immorality, run from it. Don’t say that you have power over it, so you’re going to test it. No! God wants you to be so free and focused on your divine mandate that He doesn’t want you to add struggles with sin in your life.
Not everyone will like you for what you do, even if you always do the right thing. Sticking to saying the truth will attract enemies from diverse areas – government and even families. So enough of the people-pleasing, and do what God tells you to do.
As a shepherd, let it be in your consciousness that your work is not done when you introduce a soul to Jesus. Ensuring that person is discipled is even more laborious. Embrace it and let God strengthen you to work on it.
Dear entrepreneur, check for God’s will before starting that business. When you get clarity about it, it’ll either save you from wasting your time (if God doesn’t approve it) or help you make good returns on your investment (when God approves it).
It’s sad to say that many Christians are professing the name of Christ but are plunged into deep idolatry. They go to church but spend more time doing things that don’t please God in their homes and with their devices. Today, if you are one of such people, there is a warning from scripture that purge idolatry from your life.
What is your struggle? Is it the fear of rejection? Wrap yourself in God’s arms and keep praying. Find comfort in God’s presence instead of wailing about your troubles. He will keep you strong.
Some Christians think paying taxes to the government is wrong. However, that thought is incorrect. Jesus encourages us to apply some practicality when it comes to the disbursement of money to tax agencies. Are you an entrepreneur? Don’t try to evade taxes. Pay it and have a free mind to focus on your business.
