There is no such thing as too much study of the Bible. Again, your human spirit has an unlimited capacity to receive spiritual food from God’s Word. However, when you study, you’ll feel tiredness in your body. But you don’t need to give up.
It is not easy to maintain your joy in the midst of troubles. But with God, all things are possible. Issues magnify according to how much attention you give to it. So move forward in faith, and trust God to provide all your needs, both material and immaterial, for the benefit of your wellbeing.
How God has designed your life will not follow any preconceived order the world has projected. In other words, there are so many irregularities in each person’s life that nobody can decipher their ways that easily.
Choices are more powerful than statistics. You can choose to live upright before God and pursue the vision He has given you, even if the masses are against you. Will it be easy? Of course not. You have to be strong so that the influence of the masses doesn’t get into drifting your attention from what God has told you to do.
The way to get to the ends of the world with your gift is not to promote yourself from the start. Just start with what you have and keep developing it. The faithful God will not watch you to be ashamed of your work. He will exalt you.
As a child of God, guard your heart with all diligence. Intentionally withdraw from some close associations with people just to keep your heart at peace. There’ll always be people who don’t qualify to say things about you and much more to think about saying evil things about you. Just let people be with what they say, and keep your peace.
The way God takes you through life will probably not be how you expect it. Your journey may take longer than you expect it. But in the midst of all these troubles, don’t let go of your trust in Him.
When you develop a responsible mindset and attach it to work, you’ll soon realise there’s no need to take what you have not worked for or given freely by others. It is more of a blessing to give than to receive. In other words, it is more fulfilling to work and have enough, so much so that you can give unto others what you have in abundance.
How you talk and what you say significantly influences you and people. If you keep saying negative things, it’ll affect your mindset as well as your hearers. That is why it is essential to maintain a positive mindset in Christ, regardless of the challenges you are facing today.
Make up your mind that you’ll think about having everything in abundance so you can share with those in need and not think about yourself and your family alone. May the Lord help you to be more impactful with your work.
There are two primary paths in life, each requiring sacrifice. If you sacrifice your life for Jesus by becoming more committed to ministry, you’ll find more relevance in it, plus additional eternal rewards in heaven. But if you run away from ministry and follow after worldliness, you’ll get what you pursued but, ultimately, lose your life to keep them.
Distractions from focusing on God’s Word of truth open the way for doubts to set in. And if you don’t deal with it, it can affect your productivity with God’s Word. Get out of your comfort zone and believe what God has said concerning your life without wavering.
