Ways to follow
The Psalmist said in Psalms 41:1 that blessed are those who have regard for the weak. But why? It’s because the Lord delivers such people when they are in trouble. Do you see another man’s weakness as an opportunity to disgrace him or to cushion him in prayer?
Although the majority of Christians across the world do not suffer physical harm like the Christians of old, there are still sufferings associated with serving Christ. Is it God’s plan that we suffer and undergo such trials as Christians?
You don’t need to stay in your fallen state. You shall rise again by His help. And when people are trolling you for any difficulty you’re going through, know that the Lord won’t cause you to be ashamed.
Don’t commit it to people. If you commit it to them, shocks from disappointments can really harm you. Instead, commit it to God.
You need people in Christ. But God didn’t build you up to be totally dependent on them for your fellowship with Him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to pray by yourself. Be like David. There were priests in his kingdom. But He relied on God for direction. The Lord is your strength.
In the midst of turbulent circumstances, don’t run away from God like what Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden after they ate from the forbidden tree. Instead, run to God. Speak unto Him. Tell Him what David said in Psalm 28:2, “Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help…”. Speak in tongues if you can. Talk to Him. He’ll be there to calm you down.
Wake up for change, child of God. It takes a lot to change evil family trends as the emerging child of God with a difference. But God has given you the grace for that. Brace it up, pray and go to work. The Lord will help you.
One of the reasons why it’s hard to maintain some friends when you ardently follow God in life is because your fire will expose their bad character, which won’t be compatible with the life God is leading you to live by.
Nobody can plunge the faith of Christ in your spirit out. But for suffering in the flesh (physical life) because of that same faith, blessed are you when you go through them.
God is so mindful of you. What makes you think God has abandoned you? If He gave up Jesus for you, what shows He can’t satisfy that need of yours?
Every huge thing God is telling you to build upon today will start small physically. Look beyond the physical circumstances around your life and believe in the vision God is showing you in your mind. It’ll take time to manifest. But hold on to God’s voice, and be consistent at working towards it. He’ll be with you.
As you follow Christ and keep obeying Him, He’ll help you birth your miracles even in times of adversity.
