Don’t underwork yourself. In other words, don’t settle for less just because what’s in your hands to do right now is little. Invest in yourself. Pay the price to acquire more divine knowledge, even if your level is insignificant today. So that when it’s God’s due time to lift you, you’ll not be bankrupt of wisdom to sustain you at that level.
You are Abraham’s seed as a Christian. That means when it comes to blessings, it’s your birthright as God’s child. But if you’re struggling to make ends meet, the problem is not from God, what job you do or even how much you earn. The problem is you – how well vested are you in knowing who God has made you?
Dear minister, serve with God’s strength, which He supplies, not yours. Stop depending on your human strategies to do what He has called you to do. Depend on Him.
Do you want God to consistently show you favour? Then, choose to remain humble. Learn to consciously live a holy life before God no matter where you find yourself.
If you give the devil a chance to have a foothold in your life, I tell you that he won’t spare you. That’s why we’re warned in the scripture not to give him that chance (see Ephesians 4:27).
As a believer, you must understand that we live in an evil age. So, the things you will see when you step out from your home or outside the brethren are most likely to be evil. Sp guard the purity of your mind by submitting it to the teachings of the Word.
We live in an evil age. So you’ve got to be circumspect in your interactions with people.
You can’t overpay the debt of love to the brethren. When Jesus said that we should love one another as His disciples, He didn’t put an expiry date to that command; neither did He add exceptions to it.
In the face of life’s circumstances, what do you do? Do you wail and worry like how many people are used to doing, or do you plead your case before God in prayer? The latter should be your hallmark as a believer.
You’re God’s fearfully and wonderfully made creature created in Christ Jesus for good works. That means good works is a natural flow in your life as a believer. And if such a thing is not happening, then there’s something wrong with you. Confront that in prayer.
Imagining great things to pray to God about isn’t bad. At least, it’ll create an expectation in your spirit. But you’ll do yourself great harm if you limit your mind to what you’re expecting God to do. Believe in God for big things.
You don’t need to stay in your fallen state. You shall rise again by His help. And when people are trolling you for any difficulty you’re going through, know that the Lord won’t cause you to be ashamed.
