The Empowerment to Live an Extraordinary Life
In the same way, God has created us to live extraordinary lives without struggle – a life above the dictates of sin but of grace’s empowerment. But with our human strength, we’re very limited.

Bear with discomfort as you grow to see the fullness of your destiny being manifested. Stand up for your divine vision firmly in your mind and let the naysayers say what they want.
It’s worth bearing up under pain because of your commitment to God. Physically, it might not be okay with you. But your reward in heaven for going through that is waiting for you.
As believers, what should our minds be focused on? Is it on the everyday ominous news you hear from the news, or on God’s kingdom? The latter is beneficial.
Filter out God’s voice in man’s voice. I mean, take out the advice trapped in man’s voice that tallies with what God has said about your life and destiny. Then, leave the rest out.
Never say because you know your mandate, you’re going to rebel against spiritual authority. Continue serving. When it’s time for God to take you out from there, He knows how to do it without your struggle.
The worldly people will keep failing to give the right solutions to problems. Therefore, as a child of God, possess the consciousness of becoming a solution provider to issues, not an addition to trouble anywhere you go.
If even unbelievers, who don’t know God, know how to buy good clothes and perhaps dash or sell some, how much more do you, child of God? What shows God cannot clothe you? What makes you think God won’t supply the finances you need to take care of His temple, which is your body (see 1 Corinthians 6:19)?
Just put your trust in God always. In a relationship, build your bond with Jesus. In your field of education, build your career on Jesus. Let Him be the firm foundation of your life – not your certificate, degree, connections or people’s promises. He alone has the entire plan for your life. And He’s too good to lead you astray. Hope in Him.
Maybe you feel rejected by your family and friends. Or you feel stuck in life, wondering when some situations will cease happening. I invite you to call upon the name of Jesus for help. Sometimes, it’s not just about Him sending people to you, but you also calling upon Him.
Minister of God, it’s not every human voice that speaks to you that’s actually a human voice. Sometimes, it’s God speaking through people to you. Other times, it’s demons. And also, sometimes, it’s the people themselves. If you make the mistake of not discerning voices in people’s talks, you’ll end up misinterpreting people and always blaming yourself for doing wrong things.
What is your problem? Bring it to Jesus. Have raw faith that’s not dependent on anything or any human. He will fulfil everything concerning your life.
