Dear preacher, when you go out there to preach the message of salvation for people to be saved, don’t neglect to highlight the importance of believing in the resurrection of Christ for the unbelievers in your audience. It is crucial and serves as the bedrock of the faith in Christ (see 1 Corinthians 15:17).
If you are reading this and you don’t have any desire to please God, or you have lost that desire, then it’s time to dethrone that “flesh” government on your mind and pursue a deeper intimacy with God for Him to restore your desire to know Him.
According to Romans 8:16, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit is the One who bears witness with each believer’s spirit that one is a child of God. So, He’s an inner witness to us, and one of the things He does is to make us know that we are indeed children of God.
As a child of God, you have received divine enablement to live by the dictates of the Spirit. So, with that power in you, use it to mortify the deeds of the flesh that present themselves in the form of temptations. It is well with you on every side.
Dear one, God has predestined you to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus. Therefore, stop seeking approval or identity in the things of the world, both material and immaterial things. Things don’t work that way. Stick to Christ, keep fellowshipping with Him, and make sure that He’s the number one priority in all you do.
God loved the world so much that He gave the world Jesus Christ to come, die and atone for the sins of humanity. Today, there is no hindrance between God and man because Jesus has cleared the way by taking away sin.
God knew that all had sinned and fallen short of His glory (see Romans 3:23). So, if God wanted to punish humanity by making atonement for their sins, then all deserve to be in hell. But God didn’t do that. He chose to place all of humanity’s sin on Jesus so He would atone for it and be a propitiation for our sins.
Today, your sins are no longer imputed on you because Jesus Christ has born them on the cross. So, instead of beating yourself up for all the wrongdoings you may have done, show the devil that Jesus has paid for your sins. Therefore, you have been set free in Christ. Walk in this consciousness, and you’ll enjoy your freedom.
Dear preacher, tell people that their human works cannot save them. Everything they do to please God in the flesh will never amount to anything before Him. They need to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved, and this principle cuts across the entire human race, whether a Jew or a Gentile.
Don’t be too selfish with what God is doing through you to help others. He will be there for you but plans to bless you for the sake of others to benefit from you. Let go of yourself to embrace God so that He will transform you and make you desire to do His will every day of your life.
The scripture says in Proverbs 20:27 that the human spirit is the lamp of the Lord. Because of that, it sheds light on a person’s inmost being. That means that our spirit, when made alive by the power of the Holy Spirit upon receiving salvation, becomes the central director of our lives, capable of showing us the next step to take.
When your mind is attuned to God, earthly things and possessions won’t be of much bother to your mind. It will help you plan your acquisition of those material possessions when you are able, but won’t make it your primary reason for toiling each day to get them.
