You cannot wish your way to the top. Social media can be very deceptive in showing people’s successes because nothing great on this Earth is rocket science. You must go for wisdom to build whatever vision you have right now, no matter how big it is. Otherwise, those ideas will remain as seeds in your mind and on paper but not in reality. Rise and build!
God will make your feet like the deer’s feet: That means God will help you increase your pace in life. What takes others years to do will be done in months when God steps in with His supernatural speed and divine provision.
There is no issue in this world you’ll face without it having a solution before God. He may not solve it at the time you desire, but wait patiently for the Lord. He will not fail you.
We are all one people in Christ. So, don’t let minor differences you have with other believers prevent you from fellowshipping with them.
The Bible entreats all believers to preach the gospel, both in and out of season (see 2 Timothy 4:2). So, the matter of preaching the gospel isn’t about when you feel comfortable to do it. Instead, it is about being faithful to God’s commission. However, there are precautions to take as you keep doing this. That is, remain separate unto the Lord.
Jesus is coming again and demands that all people repent (see Acts 17:30). Do you revere God? If not, it’s time to repent. If yes, preach the gospel to others so they can be saved. Snatch some from the path leading to hell. Don’t watch people intentionally die in sin while God is waiting to give them a glorious life, starting here on earth and in heaven. Be serious about spreading the net of kingdom influence.
You may not see the Lord supply significant provisions in your life now. But don’t lose hope in Him. Keep following His ways and worry less about your life. He is with you and will never leave nor forsake you. In the midst of all the turmoil, stay faithful to His call. He will not put you to shame.
Fret not about your life, thinking your issues will be the same as you see them today. No! It won’t. Things will change over time. In some situations, you must take action intentionally; otherwise, they will remain. For others, God will step in at the right time for you, and such situations don’t just pass away, no matter how much you pray or how much effort you put into changing it. Live joyfully, being conscious of His presence in your life. It is well with you!
God is not like a man to be overly angry and do regrettable things that will affect generations because of emotions. No! In Psalm 30:5, it is clearly written that God’s anger lasts only for a moment. However, his favour lasts a lifetime.
Take God’s instructions seriously. They may come in a still, small voice, His Word, or in a unique way He speaks to you. Whatever way they come, take them up, document them, pray about them, and do what He has said. It is well with you.
The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8-9 that God’s ways are not man’s ways. They are actually higher than man’s ways. That means what God intends for you to do or follow is definitely higher than your knowledge can comprehend. That’s why you can’t stop praying. Why? Because the more you pray and fellowship with God, the more He reveals His ways to you. So, the surest method to ask God to show you His way, especially when in a dilemma, is to pray.
After ascending the throne as Israel’s king, David had all the riches he wanted. He had all the wives, children, and servants; name them. He had everything. Instead of priding himself on his possessions, he wrote in Psalm 27:4 that his primary desire is to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. What about you? After getting all the money, connections, business successes and more, will God still be your number one priority in your life?
