Hiding your background can sometimes be a wise decision if you want to get a high position in a place, especially work-related as a Christian. You don’t need to lie about your life; you just have to be quiet about some details in your life, for God’s sake.
If the Bible is telling you to walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, then there should be another influence upon your life, higher and godly enough to erase any lousy talk from surrounding ungodly people. That’s the Word!
God likes to conceal matters. But He reveals those secrets to those who fear Him (see Psalm 25:9). However, for you to fear God, you must be close to Him. So, in essence, those who are close to God are those who get to know the secrets of God. And that explains why strong Christians who love to have fellowship with God possess much divine wisdom.
What you allow to fill your heart determines what predominantly comes out of your mouth. Be careful of your association because the words they speak can affect you. May God give you the grace and strength to live wisely among unbelievers.
We live in a wicked age. So, don’t expect people always to think as good as you do. May God give you understanding as you keep preaching Him in this lost age.
After the angel Gabriel gave Mary the news that Jesus would be born through her and used Elisabeth’s case of giving birth in old age, she decided to go and stay with the old lady. Mary’s decision to go and stay with Elisabeth implies that it is prudent to hang around people who are pregnant with God’s promises.
God has more in store for you. But in most cases, He wants you to listen to Him, study His Word and put what you learn into practice. When you fail to do that, Jesus said your life is like a foolish person who built his life on sand.
To prevent running into trouble, obey the laws of your country and focus on living purposefully to please God. That way, you can enjoy peace in your own life. However, never forget to pray for those in authority – that God will turn their hearts to do what is right and not what their selfish cravings long for.
With all seriousness, guard your mind from deception. When the devil tries to paint an enticing picture of sin in your life, look at God’s Word and resist him. Life in Christ is not a joke. So don’t trade yours for anything ungodly.
The devil has no love. He doesn’t like you. So when he suggests sinful thoughts to you, even as sweet in your mind, don’t ever think there’s a good end to engaging in it. It’ll leave you with shame and guilt when you submit to him. Be wise in how you live in this perverse generation. And let God be the reason for everything you do.
Your life is not a football to get tossed to and fro by the suggestions and directions of men, of which several of them live confused. Seek to know God’s will and follow suit. It will help you.
Many people want to be rich, but few are willing to pay the high price of learning about finances and business. Friend, things don’t work like that.
