The Lord Is My Shepherd

Until you’ve gone through a season of pain, scarcity and temporary abandonment by people, you’ll not truly understand what it means to declare, “The Lord is my shepherd.” Why? Because others will provide for you, and you’ll not have any reason to come before God for your needs. God is your source, not your job, parents, guardians or investments.

Supervise the Growth of Your Work

God made the world and saw that everything He has done was good. But He still created and appointed man to have dominion over His creation.
Although what God created wasn’t problematic, He needed man to manage and supervise the growth of the work done. Today, it’s like building an organisation and hiring others to manage your systems for you. It’s not new; it’s a principle of scripture.

Put Your Outdoor Work in Order

One of my favourite Bible verses is Proverbs 24:27. In that verse, Solomon teaches that you should put your outdoor work together before building a house. In other words, he was saying, “Ensure your work and vision are well established before building a home.”

Take Refuge Before Danger Strikes

Dear leader, don’t watch your vision go down the drain by ignoring the study of how things work. It’s not good to adjust your work to do what others are doing. However, you can learn from people, get ideas, pray for God to screen them and do the ones He wants you to add to your organisation.

Obey Your Parents in the Lord

When Apostle Paul said this to the Ephesian church, he was speaking from a spiritual-fatherly perspective. He told them to obey their shepherds in the Lord. But when it came to the biological parents, he said they should honour them (Ephesians 6:2). Why? Because Paul knew not all biological parents are also spiritual parents to their children.

Honour Your Father and Mother

Of a truth, your parents may not know God more than you. But they certainly have more life experiences than you. So your spiritual understanding may be higher than theirs, but their comprehension of life is broader than yours. Honour them and pray for them because, after all, they’ve been faithful to take care of you.
