After Lazarus had come out, Jesus told the people present to remove the ties (grave clothes) that bound him so he could get loose and walk comfortably. Here’s a profound truth. You can experience your miracle while still possessing some things you don’t need, and that is not a problem. But a new miracle comes with a new mindset to embrace and sustain it.
You are more powerful as a believer than you think. The Spirit of God in you is not a mere Spirit with a characteristic of fear and timidity. No! He is a Spirit of fire, and He gives order to things. You have to step up and take charge of that situation.
Martha wanted her brother to come back alive, but she resisted it when Jesus ordered people to remove the stone covering the tomb. That is what happens when you want something from God but haven’t positioned yourself to get that thing. Don’t do that!
Today, if you are born again, the Holy Spirit lives in you. That said, you have also been given the power by the same Spirit in you to testify about Jesus to others through the preaching of the gospel.
Dear friend, have you owed people for a long time? Are you happy about it? No. Right? Why don’t you determine in your heart to settle every debt you owe, even those from several years ago? Debt is not good as long as you abandon its repayment. It’ll paint a bad reputation for yourself to others, and you’ll lose connections to precious and influential people because of that behaviour.
Child of God, there is a promise from God in Psalm 37:29 that the righteous shall inherit the land and dwell in it forever. It doesn’t say the righteous “may” inherit the land but “shall.” That means it is definitely going to happen. But there is a responsibility on your end as a believer. God is a Spirit, so whatever He sets His heart to do on this Earth will require men to bring it to physical manifestation. Take your place, and don’t settle for less.
God will never forsake His faithful ones. He knows that the righteous sometimes face unfair challenges in life, making their lives tougher than normal. And if you are a believer, yet things are not turning out so good for you, let me encourage you today. You have a God who has vowed never to leave you nor forsake you.
Can I tell you something? God will always provide for the righteous. And that provision is going to be large enough that the descendants will benefit from it.
If life is long, then you need a helper because not all days will be filled with happiness. There are some days earmarked as evil. In those days, your strength will be tested (see Proverbs 24:10). Jesus is willing to help you in ways unimaginable. But He is gentle. He wants you to take His yoke upon you and learn from Him.
Jesus told some believers in Matthew 7:6 that they shouldn’t give what is holy to dogs. Neither should they cast their pearls before swine. That means that as a believer, don’t share precious things in the faith with people who don’t see their worth. An example of this is talking about ministry matters with unbelievers. It’s such a turnoff conversation.
Dear child of God, let it be in your consciousness that you have God, who knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and Omega. He has everything about your life well figured out, even though He hasn’t revealed everything about it to you yet. He wants you to believe that He will perfect everything concerning your life. Only walk faithfully in His ways.
The responsibilities of God’s priests are not written in one specific Bible verse. They are scattered across several books of the Bible, both in the Old and New Testament. One such verse is Ezekiel 44:23, where the Lord Himself gave a strong charge to His priests. Although you may say that it’s in the Old Testament, its unfolding is in the New Testament, meaning it is still applicable today.
With the rise of wickedness in this world, it is much harder to live fully committed to the Lord Jesus these days. People with corrupted mindsets tend to be many in several areas of life, and the believers there are battling with what kind of people they are living and working with. But dear Christian, let it be known in your consciousness that God won’t watch you to be disgraced.
Dear friend, the Bible says you must rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. In your waiting period, remain at peace, and the way to do that is to cease thinking about the successes of others. Do yourself a favour by praying earnestly for the peace of God to rule in your heart and mind (see Philippians 4:6-7). And don’t rush into things just to please others.
God’s word says He will give you a righteous reward that shines like the dawn when you commit your ways to Him. I’m sure you want God’s rewards. Right? But what does it mean to commit your way to Him?
Comparison is one thing many people don’t talk about, yet it is happening in the minds of many. Some people watch what their peers are doing and view themselves as having delayed lifestyles. If you have this mental struggle, the earlier you understand that God has earmarked every person’s walk of faith differently, the better. You must have a long view of life before you can understand certain things well.
Jesus told the men who followed Him that they would no longer catch fish on the sea but would fish people. In other words, their mission as fishermen changed from sea-fishing to men-fishing: the same mission but a different method. Could it be that the area God is calling you into ministry with may not necessarily take you out of your career?
Don’t lust after material gains. I speak this primarily to the ministers of the gospel. If God has said He will bless you, it is not your job to figure out how He will do it. Just remain focused as You do His work. And when He finds your heart faithful, He can send even unbelievers to provide massively to make His work well-funded. Trust in Him!
