Our lives as believers in Christ do not rely on motivational speeches but are grounded in the solidity of God’s promises boldly written in His Word. So, if the Bible says that you must be joyful in hope, it means that you should let the anchor of your hope stand on the solid ground of faith that God will come through for every problem you are facing today or will face in the future.
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.
There is no better time to rejoice than to rejoice always. Once you are alive and things come your way, rejoice. It may not be easy for you to follow through, but remember, it is easy for God, and He will help you. God is working all things together for your good.
No matter how many people or companies have rejected you, you are not a castaway before God. Your life may not be as good as you want right now. But do not give up on God. There is a set time in God’s calendar to show forth you to the world in ways anyone who rejected you will be ashamed of themselves. Only don’t neglect your spiritual gift. It is well with you.
If you have made up your mind to get encouragement and comfort from the world, I’m sad to tell you that you have signed up to experience many unfortunate things. This world is under the rulership of the devil (see 2 Corinthians 4:4). So, don’t look up unto it for help. Instead, come to Jesus, and pursue a deeper intimacy with Him. Let Him, who is in you as a believer, be the utmost source of your inspiration.
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?
In Romans 8:28, the Bible says that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. So, if you are born again today and love God genuinely in your heart, then I’m glad to tell you that God has got you covered.
God will never forsake His faithful ones. He knows that the righteous sometimes face unfair challenges in life, making their lives tougher than normal. And if you are a believer, yet things are not turning out so good for you, let me encourage you today. You have a God who has vowed never to leave you nor forsake you.
Dear child of God, let it be in your consciousness that you have God, who knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and Omega. He has everything about your life well figured out, even though He hasn’t revealed everything about it to you yet. He wants you to believe that He will perfect everything concerning your life. Only walk faithfully in His ways.
With the rise of wickedness in this world, it is much harder to live fully committed to the Lord Jesus these days. People with corrupted mindsets tend to be many in several areas of life, and the believers there are battling with what kind of people they are living and working with. But dear Christian, let it be known in your consciousness that God won’t watch you to be disgraced.
Comparison is one thing many people don’t talk about, yet it is happening in the minds of many. Some people watch what their peers are doing and view themselves as having delayed lifestyles. If you have this mental struggle, the earlier you understand that God has earmarked every person’s walk of faith differently, the better. You must have a long view of life before you can understand certain things well.
Depression is a real challenge in today’s world, but for a Christian, it is not an insurmountable one. With Jesus Christ as your ultimate source of love and provision, the Holy Spirit as your Comforter and Strengthener, and the assurance of eternal life, you have all you need to rise above the trials of life.
