Don’t give excuses to God for not doing His work, no matter the issues in your life. Even in a tight environment, there is always a way to go about God’s work. Don’t cease asking God for direction when circumstances prove otherwise to what He has placed in your heart to do.
If you are a believer reading this today and God told you to start something—say a business, ministry, or any establishment—or even get married to that fantastic spouse, be rest assured that it’ll not go down the drain. Don’t give up no matter what happens!
This world is such a strange world. Many people struggle to make ends meet. But are we believers supposed to be struggling? No! Aside from God meeting our needs in supernatural ways, He commands us, through His Word, that we shouldn’t steal but work. So, dear Christian, God doesn’t want you to steal. He knows that your full potential will be brought to bear through work.
As a shepherd, let it be in your consciousness that your work is not done when you introduce a soul to Jesus. Ensuring that person is discipled is even more laborious. Embrace it and let God strengthen you to work on it.
Take your time to evaluate the reward of the work to be offered to you before jumping in to do it. Never take on any job without counting how much it’ll cost you to move in and do it.
According to 2 Peter 1:8, if, as a believer, you possess and abound in virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love, you’ll not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Simply put, you can’t possess these qualities and remain an ordinary Christian. It’s just impossible.
Do you want to stand out in anything you are doing as a believer – church-related or not? You need the anointing of the Holy Ghost on your mind and hands.
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.
Remember that everything earthly is temporary, so don’t let ALL your life goals be about getting material possessions. Kingdom wealth isn’t perishable. Go for it instead of settling for mere earthly rewards.
Just like a child can’t lift weights, we can’t handle life alone. We need Jesus. Taking inspiration from Philippians 4:12-13, let’s explore how to achieve all things through Christ’s strength.
Don’t be a passive churchgoer in Christ. Work on understanding the Word you receive every single time. Don’t just take notes while listening to sermons, only to leave them after service. No! Make time to revise and pray through them. In that way, the devil won’t be able to steal it from your heart.
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.
