Every person who’s plunged deep in sin doesn’t have any guarantee of a bright future if he continues in sin. That is why repentance and salvation is so significant. Why? Because the two don’t only guarantee you heaven but also bring you closer to God, receive His direction and start walking in His ways.
Don’t lose your hope in God, even if life seems tough for you. Learn to follow Him because He won’t fail you.
If you’re intimate with the Lord but don’t have much wealth, your life is better before Him than many wicked but rich people. Do you know why? Because every wicked but rich person usually earns money in dishonest ways, and such wealth will diminish with time (see Proverbs 10:2).
God doesn’t bless thieves. If you borrow someone’s thing and don’t send it back, you’re wicked (see Psalm 37:21). Stop destroying relationships with people with this evil behaviour.
God knows the end from the beginning. If He tells you to rest and to wait patiently for Him, He is trying to save you from encountering trouble you could have avoided. Never think you’re wiser than God. Stay humble and live being guided by His direction.
If you’re meek, there is an assurance in the Word that you shall inherit the land. It doesn’t mean you will become a real estate entrepreneur. Instead, it means your name will refuse to die because God will cause your works to outlive your existence.
In Psalm 49:16, the Psalmist cautions that you should not be overawed when others grow rich. In other words, don’t let it become jawbreaking news when you see someone you know become wealthy. But why? Because of you don’t know how he got that wealth, whether legitimately or illegitimately and that person won’t carry over that wealth to the grave.
Many people want to be rich, but few are willing to pay the high price of learning about finances and business. Friend, things don’t work like that.
Troubled people are the most miserable people on this earth. They can’t help but live in anxiety. When you hit such a stage in your life, remember to call on the name of the Lord. He will be there to calm you down. Never give up on God. Never!
The Psalmist said in Psalms 41:1 that blessed are those who have regard for the weak. But why? It’s because the Lord delivers such people when they are in trouble. Do you see another man’s weakness as an opportunity to disgrace him or to cushion him in prayer?
Jesus is the solution for all manner of confusion. He said in John 10:27 that His sheep hear His voice and that He knows them, and they follow Him. So, in short, Jesus is salvation for confused people. When you become His sheep and you spend time building intimacy with Him, you will know His voice clearly without doubts.
Your ministry, business, family or corporation can crumble to nothing without God in a day. You’re not too big. So don’t be proud. Stay humble and keep following Jesus.
