The Lord does not look at the things people look at. While many people can rate another person fit for a job or position based on physical stature or Earthly possessions, God looks at the heart. If your heart is pure before Him, He will choose you over the masses who boast in their physical stature and possessions.
Life is not easy. But thriving in your spiritual growth is what will make other areas of your life more beautiful. Instead of getting distracted by the many cares of this world, why don’t you prioritise having a sweet relationship with God so that He can bless you?
The benefits of recognising and obeying The Voice of God are immeasurable—guidance, peace, power, and divine purpose. Each moment you ignore The Voice, you miss out on the direction and blessings that God has prepared for you. As a believer, cultivate the discipline of discernment and obedience, knowing that The Voice of Christ leads you on the path of righteousness, fulfilment, and eternal life.
Jesus said whoever follows Him will never walk in darkness. That means the spiritual illumination Jesus will supply to you for following Him will never make you end up stuck or confused in life. So, the moment you experience stagnancy in your life as a Christian, know that it is time to get back to God so that He can show you what to do.
As you grow in what you do, there are times when you need to evaluate what is going on so you can correct your mistakes and make things better. Who knows, your key to enjoying the year would start like this?
The Bible says that those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. The word “sons” in the Bible verse (Romans 8:14) refers to spiritually mature people, not new converts, in Christ. Meaning, maturity is necessary for discerning and following spiritual direction from God.
Everything Moses wrote in Genesis was not from his own mind. Instead, God inspired him to see all the revelations so that he could capture them in writing.
The responsibilities of God’s priests are not written in one specific Bible verse. They are scattered across several books of the Bible, both in the Old and New Testament. One such verse is Ezekiel 44:23, where the Lord Himself gave a strong charge to His priests. Although you may say that it’s in the Old Testament, its unfolding is in the New Testament, meaning it is still applicable today.
Jesus told the men who followed Him that they would no longer catch fish on the sea but would fish people. In other words, their mission as fishermen changed from sea-fishing to men-fishing: the same mission but a different method. Could it be that the area God is calling you into ministry with may not necessarily take you out of your career?
Peter complained to Jesus about how they were unable to catch even one fish after an overnight toil. Imagine a husband like Peter going to work and coming back with zero. So painful. Right? But when Jesus showed him what to do, he caught so many fish that the net he was using with the other fishermen in the boat started breaking. One miracle cancelled out a twelve-hour zero work. Dear one, wait on God for divine direction.
You are to serve God in the new way of the Spirit. That new way of the Spirit for divine service doesn’t have specific human rules attached to it. No! The guide is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
Partial trust in God brings partial results. However, complete surrender unlocks the fullness of His power in your life. He’s waiting in the secret place, ready to be not just a part of your life but your very foundation. Are you prepared to let go of every other foundation and make Him your only source? Today, take that step. Release those backup plans, lay down those false securities, and watch how God moves when He becomes your first and only choice.
