While God may bless His children with riches, it is crucial to view wealth as a tool to serve others and advance His Kingdom rather than a means of self-gratification. By maintaining a heart rooted in humility, generosity, and unwavering devotion to God, you, as a Christian, can navigate the challenges of wealth while staying true to your faith and purpose.
Be watchful over your life. Focus on pleasing God, not men. Whatever you do, people will talk. So, if you really want to walk in obedience to God, accept the truth that your actions will not please everyone. Even Jesus’ actions didn’t please everyone.
Sometimes, that desire to go back into those secret sins will come. But hey, when that moment comes, it’s time to pray. Do not let the devil’s evil suggestions overpower you. Submit your ways to God.
The choice is yours. You can choose to let your desires dictate your actions, or you can choose to obey God. The path of obedience may not always be easy, but it leads to a life of true fulfilment and eternal reward.
Samuel didn’t have a problem hearing God. If he hadn’t heard what God said about Eliab, he would have anointed the wrong king for Israel, and that would have cost the kingdom so much. So, as a leader, especially as an employer, don’t rely solely on the curriculum vitae of prospective employees to choose a person for work, particularly for ministerial work. Let God guide you, and don’t be in a rush.
No loving parent chastises their child to drive them away but rather to bring them back onto the right path. Similarly, God’s chastisement is not meant to condemn us but to lead us to repentance and restoration. As His children, we must recognise His authority over us and submit to His loving correction, trusting that it is for our ultimate good.
True service to God involves a genuine connection from within, a sincerity that comes from the depths of one’s being. So, whether in public or private, you’re expected to uphold purity in all aspects of your life. To serve God effectively, you need a heart wholly devoted and surrendered to His will because He is holy. Only then can your actions turn from mere religious routines into meaningful service aligned with God’s plan.
Complaining that your work, finance, relationships, education, business, or why any area of your life is in shambles doesn’t solve any problem. It is hearing God about that situation that changes everything. Will you go and pray about that situation, hear God and follow His Word, or you’ll keep complaining?
As a believer, you must understand that we live in an evil age. So, the things you will see when you step out from your home or outside the brethren are most likely to be evil. Sp guard the purity of your mind by submitting it to the teachings of the Word.
Faithfulness, they say is one of the key needs in every minister’s life. Whether you’re a ministry head, a church worker or an employee in a workplace, your faithfulness will be tested. Will you do what you’re told to do without supervision? Or you’ll be a slack person who needs to be dragged by your boss or pastor to do what’s expected of you?
Bear with discomfort as you grow to see the fullness of your destiny being manifested. Stand up for your divine vision firmly in your mind and let the naysayers say what they want.
God, as a leader, still allows us to go through some trials in life for our faith to be tested and refined.
