The Lord Disciplines Those He Loves
You are not God’s co-equal. He existed even before the beginning of time. So, if He chastises you, you should take it seriously.
Do Not Forget God’s Teachings
Do not forget God’s teachings. Take your personal fellowship with God seriously. Pursue a deeper intimacy with God on a daily basis. By that continuous effort, you will be able to cement the Word in your spirit.
Wisdom Will Save You from the Adulterous Woman
When the devil knows God is up to something great in your life, he works very hard to bombard your life with many bad things just to distract your focus. He knows that if he can get you distracted, he can make you forsake God’s providential way. So, knowing this very well, you have to employ a lot of wisdom and discretion in your walk with God and your relationship with others.
Wisdom Will Save You from the Ways of Wicked Men
God knows that human beings are not given the ability to see the motives behind the actions of others. That is why He gives wisdom to those who ask Him, so that they can use it to discern wrong paths that may present themselves as a clean path. God loves you so much to see you go wayward. Ask Him for wisdom to live well.
Discretion Will Protect You
In Proverbs 2:11, the Bible says that discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. In other words, paying attention to what you must consciously choose to see and not to see will prevent you from encountering bad things that have the potential of even dampening your spirit.
Ask the Lord to Vindicate You If You Have a Clean Life
Don’t think when you give God valid reasons to answer your prayer, He won’t mind you. Sometimes, pleading your case in the court of heaven demands that you pray longer rather than shorter. Keep praying, and let God, to whom vengeance is, help you address every matter in your life.
Always Put Your Trust in the Lord
If you don’t want to end up disgraced in life, don’t put your trust in people or even technology. People will fail you. Even more, since machines are designed by people, all of them aren’t a hundred percent effective. Always put your trust in God, for He is the perfect One to hold every area of your life in the right shape.
Keep Watch Over God’s Assignment on Your Life
There are too many people depending on you to rise and honour God’s call on your life. Yes, it won’t be easy to do God’s work, especially from the start with unfavourable conditions. But He is with You. Never give up on Him. Press on even if things are not okay. Things will get better with time.
The Word of God Will Never Expire
The word of God will never expire. If you don’t believe this, consider how long the scriptures have tarried. It is the same Bible we are using today that has existed for centuries yet hasn’t lost a single bit of power and relevance. Do you think God will ever fail you? No!
You Are Not a Castaway Before God
No matter how many people or companies have rejected you, you are not a castaway before God. Your life may not be as good as you want right now. But do not give up on God. There is a set time in God’s calendar to show forth you to the world in ways anyone who rejected you will be ashamed of themselves. Only don’t neglect your spiritual gift. It is well with you.
Don’t Be Surprised When People Run to You Because You Have God
There are far too many people seeking to know God in this generation but aren’t finding Him because they don’t know how to. That is why you shouldn’t be surprised when people run to you because you have God. They want to experience the God you have in ways they haven’t seen before. When God lifts you and gives you that privilege, don’t mess up with it because it’s about the welfare of His people.
Fear the Lord and Shun Evil
There is something you need to have if you are to fear the Lord and shun evil. It is called wisdom. That is why Proverbs 14:16 tells us that “the wise fear the Lord and shun evil…”. If you lack wisdom, ask the Lord. He will give it to you liberally (see James 1:5) because He knows when His wisdom is abundant in your life, you will live in reverence for Him, and your life will be beautiful.
