Ways to follow
See your body as God’s body, dear believer. Use it as God would use it, and don’t abuse it with alcohol, hunger or sexual immorality. Take care of it because without that body, you cannot relate to the world, and your divine purpose will not be fulfilled.
In Proverbs 23:26, God said, through Solomon, that give Him your heart and let your eyes delight in His ways. That means that your heart is the most valuable asset you can ever give to God. Following that, staying glued to delighting in God’s ways is awesome for Him.
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?
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.
It’s not enough to know God says remember Him in your youthful days. You must walk by that revelation. But how? Simply by taking His Word seriously.
Thank God for your body. Thank Him for how special He has made you because you’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
Let another man praise you for what you have or do, and not yourself. Be so focused on fulfilling your divine mandate that you’ll care less about your possessions. And the faithful God will never cease unleashing you to higher realms of glory.
Don’t insult the Spirit of grace by neglecting the promptings of the Spirit to practise holiness, or else you’re indirectly telling God that Jesus’ death on the cross was not enough to purge you of all kinds of sins.
The name of the Lord is not just a house but a strong tower. Meaning, it’s a stand-alone security post that no evil can penetrate to harm you when you live in consciousness of Him.
Just as a husband and a wife give their bodies to each other, you’re married to Jesus because you’re part of His bride – the Church. So you’re obligated, by the empowerment of the Spirit, to give yourself wholly to God.
Enough of self-consumption. Learn both to receive God’s love and give to others also. Esteem others better than you. In that way, you’ll value them and focus less on their weaknesses.
It’s worth it to stand for Jesus even if everyone around you doesn’t side with you. Be ready to defend the gospel with meekness and fear, which is reverence toward God.
