To be more confident and doubtless in fulfilling your divine mandate, you need always to remember what God told you when you were beginning. When you feel like giving up, remember God’s promises. Have God ever forsaken you? Of course not! He is always with you, although you may not always be aware of His presence in your life.
How you respond to situations is crucial. If you weep so much about the issue, that won’t solve it. But when you find comfort in God and ask for His direction in approaching the solution, that is what will make the difference. You are allowed to weep when you face a challenge, but don’t let it get you so much that you don’t rise and take action.
Paul said in Philippians 3:7 that all the things that were gains to him, including his certificates, knowledge about the law and all that, have been counted as a loss in his life so he can gain Christ. That means that if anybody wants to know God more, there is a price to pay. There are things you must lose hold of if you want to get to the fullness of your calling.
Suffering some setbacks may make you think that you are moving backwards. But what if I told you that those setbacks may be God’s setups for you to propel higher and faster?
Today, if you have faced persecution for spreading the gospel, I want to encourage you to get up and move on. Life won’t always be rosy for you as a Christian. But remember that God is with you. Above all, take good care of yourself.
God’s Word clearly says in Joel 3:10 that “…Let the weakling say, ‘I am strong!’ ”. That means, even though you may feel weak, it is your words that will propel you up to be on your feet. So, words have the creative power to turn situations around.
In Isaiah 2:22, the Lord issued a stern warning to all people. Even though it was a prophecy initially directed towards the Israelites, it still applies to us today. He said that we should stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Think about this.
What God thinks and says about you is much more essential than what people say about you. If you made a mistake in the past, it doesn’t mean you are forever flawed. People may not forget your past, but if God has forgiven you, forgive yourself and move on.
Everyone wants progress, and many don’t like encountering delays in getting something they want. But what if I told you that it takes godly wisdom to manage your expectations?
You need more inner strength than you think to withstand evil days. If you have that, you’ll be able to go through terrible issues people face without breaking down as people do.
There is no issue in this world you’ll face without it having a solution before God. He may not solve it at the time you desire, but wait patiently for the Lord. He will not fail you.
Fret not about your life, thinking your issues will be the same as you see them today. No! It won’t. Things will change over time. In some situations, you must take action intentionally; otherwise, they will remain. For others, God will step in at the right time for you, and such situations don’t just pass away, no matter how much you pray or how much effort you put into changing it. Live joyfully, being conscious of His presence in your life. It is well with you!
