“For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.” — Isaiah 62:1 NIV We live in a wicked world (1 John 5:19), where many evil things happen to the […]
Don’t receive God’s Word that confronts your wrong strongholds, and keep holding on to them. You’ll perish if you do that because it’ll always spark quarrels between you and the people you love. And if you don’t take care, you’ll lose God-made relationships only to realise later that you were wrong. Be careful!
When you have and follow God, He’ll keep you from stumbling into dangerous paths. Don’t worry about your safety. For the keeper of the universe is for you.
When the Earth flooded after the downpour and the dove Noah sent out on the third occasion never came back, everything showed that he can move out of the ark. But he still waited until God told him to move out with his family (Genesis 8:14-16). Your knowledge doesn’t override God’s leadership over your life. Submit to Him.
God’s limits are for your protection, not restriction. If He tells you that “Stay here and do My work,” He knows what He’s saying. He is omnipresent, flawless and visionary. Either you obey Him without grumbling, or you disobey Him and face the consequences.
If you stay under the covering of the Most High, you’ll be provided with rest, protection and divine strength to do His work. See how David coins out how important this is in Psalm 91:1.
Dear leader, don’t watch your vision go down the drain by ignoring the study of how things work. It’s not good to adjust your work to do what others are doing. However, you can learn from people, get ideas, pray for God to screen them and do the ones He wants you to add to your organisation.
God’s anointing is unlimited because Christ is unlimited. But His grace doesn’t flow through you to do what He has not called you to accomplish. So to conserve strength, you’ve got to give your time and attention to your specific calling, eliminating all forms of distractions as far as possible.
You don’t need to be afraid of what will happen to you as long as you follow the Lord. He’ll keep you from all harm. He’ll watch over your life so well that no CCTV camera or satellite can do it. Trust Him.
How can wise men from the East travel and tell Herod that the “king of the Jews” is born, and he’d be intimidated? How can an old man like Herod think about losing his position to a fresh baby? It’s a picture of poor leadership styles today. Instead of Herod looking out for succession in leadership, he was thinking about protecting his position of power. If you’re in leadership today, stop thinking so selfishly. Stop thinking about securing your position without mentoring anybody.
Circumstances may say the opposite to you. But do you know something? Let God be true. Let what He has said be true to you in your heart, and every man or circumstance be a liar.
Whether you’re married, single, or a child, nobody can monitor everywhere you go. So it’s up to you, as well as your loved ones, to understand that God is your protector and not any security guard or army satellite.
