God is not slack concerning His promise. He told Habakkuk that He was about to work in his days in a way that the prophet would not know if he was told. It’s the same for your life. God has more things to do for you but won’t reveal the complete details to you so you can have faith in Him. Don’t worry about your life, for the Lord has got you well covered.
If you are in a wilderness season in your life, where everything seems dry, He will help you come out of it. He will make you enjoy provision even while you are in the desert. You don’t have to fret about your life. Come on! Get up and stir your spirit in prayer. God will never leave nor forsake you. He has His best interests at heart for you.
When God tells you something, how do you handle it? Do you document it and put it in a place you won’t forget, or do you brush it aside? Many people disobey God because they simply forget what He told them to do. Don’t let that be your case. If you are someone who forgets things fast, write down God’s promise to you at a place you’ll remember.
The moment God announces favour upon you, do not think your life is going to be normal. It won’t and probably never be like that anymore. That is why you need endurance as a divine prophecy carrier because you will bear burdens from the Lord your entire life. Instead of crying to God about your situation, pray for the strength to bear them.
Do not allow a temporary emotion, which could be used to shame the devil, have you. Many things in life will only change after a child of God cultivates holy anger to pray against it. Also, many things will go wrong just because people can’t control themselves when angry. Control yourself, dear one.
Do you think it is normal for the arrival of the Messiah to end the lives of many children? No! The death of those children wasn’t God’s will, but it happened because Herod, the king, issued that command in anger. Some children pose a severe threat to families the very day they are born. If that’s your case, then know that God made you different for a purpose.
How can king Herod who loves and cares for the people he rules suddenly issue a command for children to get killed? Just like that? I believe he was demon-influenced to that. But as a lesson, be wary of how hypocrites behave towards you. They may smile and look funny, but their intentions are wrong. Pray for God to deliver you from wicked people.
Every married couple glorifies God when a child is born unto them. They become joyous not because of what the world will benefit from that child but because that child becomes a blessing to them. But for Jesus, He was born for us. Glory!
When Joseph woke up from sleep, having dreamt that he should take Mary home as his wife, he didn’t wait for six months before doing that. The Bible says he did as the angel of the Lord commanded. Are you prompt in obeying God’s instructions?
After the angel of the Lord had instructed Joseph to take Mary home as his wife, the turmoil in his life didn’t end. In Matthew 1:25, the Bible says he didn’t consummate their marriage until Mary gave birth to Jesus. In other words, he didn’t have sex with pregnant Mary until she gave birth. That probably means Joseph waited for about nine months or more before having his first sex with his wife. Today, how many men can be that patient?
The Bible clearly says in Matthew 1:24 that Joseph woke up from sleep and took Mary home as his wife. Period! Nobody knows whether or not a public marriage ceremony was held. One interference from God pushed his marriage plans earlier than expected. God can do that to you too.
Imagine if Joseph had rushed with his decision to divorce. Mary could have been stoned to death because, in those days, fornication was punishable by death through stoning. Dear one, don’t make major decisions so fast. Build your intimacy with God so you can hear what He says about your life anytime you approach Him with a case to handle.
Jesus is the light of the world. When He became the Word incarnate, He appeared as the light that shines in the darkness. Why? Because the world is dark without Him? Have you ever wondered why sin is continually increasing in the world? It’s because Jesus is not expressed in that area of life. But these things ought to change. And who can lead that change? It is the believers in Christ—you and me.

Dear one, don’t dilute God’s vision for your life because of laziness. Don’t keep listing many excuses in your mind to explain why you cannot do this or that. No! It’ll just make you abandon that work, and you will say that things don’t work. God doesn’t want you to be a failure, so don’t make yourself one.
If you discover in your life that whenever you get something, you want to give to others, it’s a sign that you have giving as your divine gift. So, if that is true for you, then give generously. Don’t complain when you do so because it’ll not help you get the utmost blessing embedded in utilising that gift of yours.
You can live in harmony with others because God’s Spirit in you doesn’t foster interpersonal relationship problems. You can relate well with all manner of people because God has given you both wisdom and tenacity to handle people. But you need to humble yourself under God’s mighty hand to live as you ought to in the Lord, even as you put the sinful flesh under subjection.
Romans 12:2 says that as God’s child, don’t be conformed to this (evil) world but be transformed by renewing your mind so that you can prove God’s good, acceptable and perfect will. That means you can discern God’s will well by renewing your mind with God’s Word.
