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?
When Solomon came over and prayed, saying that God should rescue those being led away to death, he was pleading with God to help people realise the true nature of who they are following or listening to in their lives.
Dear minister, serve with God’s strength, which He supplies, not yours. Stop depending on your human strategies to do what He has called you to do. Depend on Him.
If you give the devil a chance to have a foothold in your life, I tell you that he won’t spare you. That’s why we’re warned in the scripture not to give him that chance (see Ephesians 4:27).
In the face of life’s circumstances, what do you do? Do you wail and worry like how many people are used to doing, or do you plead your case before God in prayer? The latter should be your hallmark as a believer.
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.
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.
Not everyone around you believes in you or what you say to them. And no evil planner will do that when you’re around. They’ll always conspire against you when you’re not with them. Be wise in your interactions with people.
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.
Life is more spiritual than the physical dimension we walk in. Do you know what goes on behind the scenes of life? And how do you live in such a way that you will not fall into trouble? Well, let us read along and see how we can receive fresh revelations from the Lord even as we manoeuvre our way through the turmoils of life.
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?
