For unbelievers, their minds are purely governed by their flesh because they don’t even have the Holy Spirit to confront them of their wrongdoing. But for you, as a child of God, you decide what should govern your mind because you have liberty. However, scripture urges that you should not use your liberty to sin but to serve one another in love (see Galatians 5:13).
Dear one, there is a charge from scripture (Proverbs 4:23) to keep your heart with all diligence because out of it springs the issues of life. So, you must be intentional about what you allow into your heart through your eyes and ears (the windows of your life).
Have you not realised that many people get into trouble only after they do bad things? Yes, upright living is meant for your own good, although not everyone will side with you in such a lifestyle.
You don’t need to pressure yourself to hook up with someone just because of societal pressures. No! Take your time to discover your purpose in Christ, put that work in order, choose your partner correctly and be faithful. You are never late in life because God has got your back.
Offences are everywhere, especially in families, churches and workplaces. Nobody can prevent them from happening because Jesus said they are bound to come. So, even if you are the nicest person on Earth and a master of relationships with diverse kinds of people, you cannot prevent people from offending you or creating a mess among the people you fellowship with. So, focus on living in peace with people.
Sometimes, God doesn’t remove the issue but rather empowers us to go through it. If Jesus never promised us a problem-free life, then surely it’s not every issue you’ll tell Him to remove from your life that He’ll listen to you. As a matter of fact, some are needed for your growth.
The truth of the matter is that God is for you, and since that is so, you need not worry about your life. Worrying doesn’t lengthen your days of life. Step out in faith, knowing very well that God has your case in mind to deal with it for you.
God wants you to thrive, and peace plays an important role. Live in peace with others as far as it depends on you. Do your possible best to foster peace in your interpersonal relationships. It will help you stabilise your life.
Dear child of God, let it be in your consciousness that you have God, who knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and Omega. He has everything about your life well figured out, even though He hasn’t revealed everything about it to you yet. He wants you to believe that He will perfect everything concerning your life. Only walk faithfully in His ways.
Dear friend, the Bible says you must rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. In your waiting period, remain at peace, and the way to do that is to cease thinking about the successes of others. Do yourself a favour by praying earnestly for the peace of God to rule in your heart and mind (see Philippians 4:6-7). And don’t rush into things just to please others.
The hallmark of your life as a believer is godly peace. Why? Because Jesus has given His peace to you (see John 14:27). That means any matter that doesn’t harness the peace of Christ in you shouldn’t get your attention.
If you think the problems in your life will ever cease before you enjoy peace, you’re on an infinite wait period. Don’t do that! Enjoy God’s peace today, always being conscious of the truth that today is the day the Lord has made.
