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.
Dear entrepreneur, check for God’s will before starting that business. When you get clarity about it, it’ll either save you from wasting your time (if God doesn’t approve it) or help you make good returns on your investment (when God approves it).
In Isaiah 58:11, it is written that the Lord will guide His people always. That means believers in Christ have access to divine guidance from the Lord. It’s your privilege, child of God, to get guidance from the omniscient God who never gets it wrong in everything He does.
Jesus said, “… if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” That means that as a leader, having a vision prevents you from living a careless life. Secondly, as a follower, who you follow affects the direction your life will take.
