Ways to follow
You have what it takes to subdue the Earth. You are spiritually blessed in Christ. But it takes divine wisdom to draw out such spiritual blessings to life for the impact of generations, even those unborn. Will you quit depending on corrupt politicians and government officials to do what God has called you to do?
Your mouth speaks what is abundant in your heart. So when you fill your heart with God’s Word, guess how your words will be changed?
Imagining great things to pray to God about isn’t bad. At least, it’ll create an expectation in your spirit. But you’ll do yourself great harm if you limit your mind to what you’re expecting God to do. Believe in God for big things.
Don’t give merely out of obligation to the Lord. Give from a heart of gratitude and according to what you’ve purposed in your heart because God loves a cheerful giver (see 2 Corinthians 8:7).
With or without water baptism, once you believe in Jesus with your heart and have confessed His Lordship over your life, your salvation is secure.
If you follow Earthly ways to live, which many have followed, it won’t end well with you because you’ll be investing in your flesh so much, which profits nothing, according to Jesus (see John 6:63). However, when you follow the ways of God, your life will move on from glory to glory.
Friend, you’re of more value to God than any other creature He created. He loves you so uniquely that He’s ever willing to provide what you need. But can you tune your mind to meditate on what He has said in His Word? Can you meditate on the vision God has given you for your life as you work towards it?
Many people don’t revere Jesus from their hearts. That is why they don’t do what He says, even though some go to church and listen to His Word each week. If you’ve taken your faith journey seriously, continue pressing on. Listen not to the talk of people who don’t revere the ways of God. However, most importantly, surround your life with like-minded believers who’ll help you in your faith journey.
The Word says it is better to suffer for doing good if it’s God’s will rather than doing evil (see 1 Peter 3:17). So, beyond the wailings you’re suffering, commit to following God’s ways.
Proverbs 26:13 means that if you meet an obstacle in your race of faith and refuse to face it, you’re a sluggard or lazy. That means before God, taking risks out of faith is part and parcel of the life you received in Christ.
Be like the praying Epaphras, maybe not for another church but for yourself, your family and your ministry. I assure you that things will turn around for your good in ways unimaginable.
Who do you say Jesus is? Many people have different views of His personality. But who is He to You?
