The Spirit of Agreement
Maybe you’ve been believing God for something unique for a long time and have been praying alone. Could it be you just need one more friend in Christ to team up with you to pray?

Maybe you’ve been believing God for something unique for a long time and have been praying alone. Could it be you just need one more friend in Christ to team up with you to pray?
Whether you’re called to preach in church or not, never forget that once you’re a child of God, Jesus has given you power over unclean spirits. Use your mouth to pray and settle controversies in the realm of the spirit. Do not entertain any work of the devil in your life. For you have enough authority to order your life in sync with God’s dictates.
When God calls you to ministry, put your selfish ambitions aside and flow with Him. Don’t think there are enough pastors and chapels, so your work is irrelevant in God’s kingdom. There’s enough space for you.
When you’re genuinely saved, God is the overseer of your soul, not any pastor or bishop. The shepherds God hands you over to are responsible for bringing you up in His way, not to replace Him in your life. And since nothing can stand against God, then nothing earthy or demonic will be able to crush your soul in the name of Jesus.
If people keep doing evil things against you, deal with them as Jesus dealt with those evil Israelites and bore the suffering. Just commit yourself to the Righteous Judge, and He will settle the scores for you.
For Jesus to say the kingdom of heaven belongs to the poor in spirit, then He’s referring to those who don’t have the Spirit of Christ in them. They have unregenerate spirits (see Titus 3:5) and as such, are adamant about the promptings of God. Such people are all around us, and they need help!
Everything in this universe is under the control of God’s power. So He can do all things. And if this same God lives in you (see Romans 8:9, 1 John 4:4), then I want to minister grace to you today, that nothing will be too difficult for you to do.
Be not a fan of running away from duties in God’s kingdom, or else, you discard the grace available to do it excellently. May God strengthen you to become multifunctional in the ministry.
When the Bible said that God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), your location wasn’t included in that text. God will bless you. But before He does that, He expects you to continue in the faith, and not get tossed to and fro by any wind of doctrine.
Good works of divine purpose fulfilment and the tenacity to reject wrongdoings are by grace and grace alone.
Don’t insult the Spirit of grace by neglecting the promptings of the Spirit to practise holiness, or else you’re indirectly telling God that Jesus’ death on the cross was not enough to purge you of all kinds of sins.
Give no excuse for not being around in church. And even if you can’t join the service physically due to travel, make the effort to connect to it online. It’ll help you.
