Have you been thinking about how to bring to manifestation the huge things God keeps telling you? Stop thinking about how meagre your resources are today, and look unto God. Remove the scarcity mentality that is preventing you from trusting God wholeheartedly.
Never let the devil talk you out of God’s love for you. Do not let Him lie to you that God has given up on you. He is Your Father. He won’t cast you out. He first loved you. He calls you by name.
In our families, siblings love one another. Right? Why? Because they are from the same parents. In the same way, you can’t say you love God but hate any of His children, no matter how the person behaves.
God’s love has no loopholes. So don’t demonstrate it to some sect of people and leave others. Let me tell you something. Many people tagged as evil are hurting people who just need help. Love God and love people too.
You train your spiritual eye to see by beholding God’s Word in all that you do. That is why consistent study of the scriptures, coupled with prayer and fasting, is essential in your life as a believer.
We live in an evil age. So the devil won’t watch you have a life full of bliss without trying to do something to turn you down. You must pray.
As a child of God, your primary source of doctrine for your life is the Word, not cultural beliefs, racial beliefs or even your own experiences. Again, it is the Word of God. So, you must submit to God’s Word every day and use it for your decisions.
One of the most challenging things to do in prayer is to keep speaking in a natural language for long. In fact, it’s hard to pray in that way. And that is why tongues speaking is so good and beneficial to the believer. It helps you to pray with so much strength and focus on God as the Spirit gives you utterance.
Just because Jesus told the Israelites that when they pray, they should shut their doors and do it doesn’t mean prayers done in the room are the only form of prayers He wants us to emulate. No! He wants us to pray with a private mindset – that is, connecting to our Maker and caring less about what people say about our deeds. If Jesus said this, then it is possible.
Want to have strength for whatever God has called you to do each day? Look no further than fellowshiping with God. Remember that God is able to give you all the things you need for the fulfilment of divine purpose. So, pursue a deeper intimacy with Him rather than chasing the things.
If the Bible is telling you to walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, then there should be another influence upon your life, higher and godly enough to erase any lousy talk from surrounding ungodly people. That’s the Word!
Psalm 25:14 is one eye-opening scripture I’ve seen in the Bible. It says those who fear the Lord are those whom He entrusts His secret with. So the question is, can God trust you with His secret?
