Love Does Not Parade Itself
Your ministry, business, family or corporation can crumble to nothing without God in a day. You’re not too big. So don’t be proud. Stay humble and keep following Jesus.

Dear man of God, God’s call to ministry may have turned your life around in ways you never imagined. Maybe you’re going through financial struggles you never thought you would. Take heart, for God knows your plight. When you get tempted to give up in ministry, remember Jesus’ promise in Matthew 19:29. You will have more than enough. Just keep being faithful to God in all your ways.
One wise man said, “You’ll never get in sin what you got into sin to get.” Mmm! That is an intriguing truth there. It simply means that if you thought engaging in that sin would satisfy you, you’ll realise that you’ll not get that satisfaction you thought that evil act would give you. The best way to live condemnation-free in Christ is to walk according to the Spirit
Do you want God to consistently show you favour? Then, choose to remain humble. Learn to consciously live a holy life before God no matter where you find yourself.
Sing praises to God, rejoice and always live with a grateful heart when things are looking good for us or not. For our God is generous and will reward us when we constantly give thanks to Him for everything He does for us.
You must guard the windows of your life, that is, your eyes and ears, with all diligence. What you keep seeing and hearing will affect how you think, and that will eventually influence how you live.
You don’t have to pray with the intention that God’s face will shine on you. Just commune with Him. The more you do it, the more Christ-like your life will be. And people will see real holiness in your life like never before, even though it’s scarce in this perverse generation.
Let your greatest desire be to know God, not to earn titles, construct properties, build organisations, get married, have a family, etc. When your devotional life unto God is intact, you’ll get what others work so hard to get with ease. You’ll be surprised at how much God will lavish your life with provision. Just focus on following Him. He will beautify your life.
Make up your mind to abound in the grace of giving. In fact, don’t just read. Start giving more to ministry and people in need. Remember that it is of more blessing to give than to receive.
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.
Dear servant of God, what do you use to do the work? Is it your ability, skillset, knowledge or expertise in your career? Your knowledge may be essential for God’s work. However, don’t ever place it as a higher priority in your mind than the supplicative ability of God to serve Him. Or else you’ll do yourself a lot of harm.
David said he recognised that his help came from the Lord when he lifted up his eyes, not when he depended on his position as king or boasted about the loyal soldiers he had or even the gold he had access to in God’s temple. In the same way, you can boldly say the Lord is your helper only when you’ve learnt how to depend on Him to meet each of your needs.
