Whether you’re called to preach in church or not, never forget that once you’re a child of God, Jesus has given you power over unclean spirits. Use your mouth to pray and settle controversies in the realm of the spirit. Do not entertain any work of the devil in your life. For you have enough authority to order your life in sync with God’s dictates.
For Jesus to say the kingdom of heaven belongs to the poor in spirit, then He’s referring to those who don’t have the Spirit of Christ in them. They have unregenerate spirits (see Titus 3:5) and as such, are adamant about the promptings of God. Such people are all around us, and they need help!
When the Bible said that God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), your location wasn’t included in that text. God will bless you. But before He does that, He expects you to continue in the faith, and not get tossed to and fro by any wind of doctrine.
Don’t insult the Spirit of grace by neglecting the promptings of the Spirit to practise holiness, or else you’re indirectly telling God that Jesus’ death on the cross was not enough to purge you of all kinds of sins.
Give no excuse for not being around in church. And even if you can’t join the service physically due to travel, make the effort to connect to it online. It’ll help you.
Don’t use your human understanding to teach God’s Word, or else the revelation will never be accurate. Let scripture explain scripture as the Holy Spirit connects the dots to you.
In Matthew 7:12, Jesus says what I call the golden rule in scripture, which says, “… in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”. That means, you ought to be reciprocated in your demands of people’s treatment.
Just as Christ forgave us when we didn’t deserve forgiveness, be patient enough to forgive your loved ones. For love is patient.
If the Word says we are co-heirs with Christ, it means all that belongs to Christ also belongs to us – the children of God. In other words, we are fully entitled to all of God’s riches.
What is your problem? Bring it to Jesus. Have raw faith that’s not dependent on anything or any human. He will fulfil everything concerning your life.
God lives in us by His Spirit (see 1 John 4:4). So even though temptations come to us, the God in us isn’t responsible for it.
It doesn’t only take money to spread the gospel rapidly; prayer is also inclusive. Because without prayer, a minister can stand before thousands, yet won’t minister Christ to them.
