Written mainly by our president Andrews, The Bible Daily Network produces Knowing God Devotional, an online daily devotional released on our website and socials. Find out the latest releases of our devotional content below.
The Bible entreats all believers to preach the gospel, both in and out of season (see 2 Timothy 4:2). So, the matter of preaching the gospel isn’t about when you feel comfortable to do it. Instead, it is about being faithful to God’s commission. However, there are precautions to take as you keep doing this. That is, remain separate unto the Lord.
Jesus is coming again and demands that all people repent (see Acts 17:30). Do you revere God? If not, it’s time to repent. If yes, preach the gospel to others so they can be saved. Snatch some from the path leading to hell. Don’t watch people intentionally die in sin while God is waiting to give them a glorious life, starting here on earth and in heaven. Be serious about spreading the net of kingdom influence.
You may not see the Lord supply significant provisions in your life now. But don’t lose hope in Him. Keep following His ways and worry less about your life. He is with you and will never leave nor forsake you. In the midst of all the turmoil, stay faithful to His call. He will not put you to shame.
Fret not about your life, thinking your issues will be the same as you see them today. No! It won’t. Things will change over time. In some situations, you must take action intentionally; otherwise, they will remain. For others, God will step in at the right time for you, and such situations don’t just pass away, no matter how much you pray or how much effort you put into changing it. Live joyfully, being conscious of His presence in your life. It is well with you!
God is not like a man to be overly angry and do regrettable things that will affect generations because of emotions. No! In Psalm 30:5, it is clearly written that God’s anger lasts only for a moment. However, his favour lasts a lifetime.
Take God’s instructions seriously. They may come in a still, small voice, His Word, or in a unique way He speaks to you. Whatever way they come, take them up, document them, pray about them, and do what He has said. It is well with you.
The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8-9 that God’s ways are not man’s ways. They are actually higher than man’s ways. That means what God intends for you to do or follow is definitely higher than your knowledge can comprehend. That’s why you can’t stop praying. Why? Because the more you pray and fellowship with God, the more He reveals His ways to you. So, the surest method to ask God to show you His way, especially when in a dilemma, is to pray.
After ascending the throne as Israel’s king, David had all the riches he wanted. He had all the wives, children, and servants; name them. He had everything. Instead of priding himself on his possessions, he wrote in Psalm 27:4 that his primary desire is to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. What about you? After getting all the money, connections, business successes and more, will God still be your number one priority in your life?
Instead of trusting in what you have to protect you, rest your hope in God. He is the only One who will ever be faithful to you, not another human being. He never fails. In fact, He is a reliable God. He will keep you from all harm and watch over your steps as you live to fulfil His will daily.
Be on guard against anything the devil tries to use people to do that is contrary to God’s plan for your life. Continually fellowship with God so He can keep showing you the next step to take. And when you do, it will be easier to discern His way in order to follow it.
When the Bible says blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord, it means that God has not called you to sleep and wait for His manifestation of divine blessings. He is actually telling you to use the knowledge you’ve received in His Word to work.
Don’t be deceived. The devil is constantly working to guilt-trip people so that they’ll not be free enough to be productive, creative and impactful in their lives. And that can happen when you give him space in your life. So, resist the devil, draw closer to God and relate more frequently with the Holy Spirit through divine fellowship. He will help you.
Consider the people around you when you attempt to do something you know is not sinful before God but may not sound pleasing to onlookers. The goal is to protect the weak in faith from stumbling with an instantaneous action you do, not to live with the sole reason of pleasing others every time.
You have what you have because God gave it or inspired others to give it to you. So, don’t let that thing make you proud. Exercise humility in relating to people regardless of their states of life. Remain humble under God’s mighty hand, so He will keep lifting you in glory.
You are more than a conqueror through Christ, whether you know it or not. But the more you remain conscious of this truth, the better you’ll view life and find comfort in God despite the many atrocities that come with it.
When you are saved, God gives you the Holy Spirit, who is capable of helping you put to death every sinful craving in your body, even to the point that it will not become a part of your thoughts.
The Bible says the Holy Spirit will give life to your mortal body. His indwelling in your heart doesn’t mean He’s done with you. He is the one who has been mandated to revive anything you have run short of in your mortal body so that immortality will manifest in your life. That is why you must submit every dormant area of your life to God for Him to bring life to it.
The moment God saved you, He moved you wholly from the power of darkness to the kingdom of Christ. That was a permanent spiritual translation, and nothing can change that. But it is one thing to be in the Spirit and another to walk in accordance with the Spirit.
