If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, men would have destroyed us. Evil people would have seen us dead. People would have loved to see us unprogressive. But let God be true, and every man be a liar.
Probably you’ve encountered several disappointments, unfortunate circumstances, misunderstandings from the communications of people and lack of adequate support, so much so that you’re brokenhearted. That could have also led to you not trusting anybody or believing everyone is wicked. I want to tell you that God is near you, whether you see Him or not, whether you sense His presence or not. Learn how to find comfort in God’s presence today.
God is faithful. When He sees that you’re concerned with fulfilling the corporate vision of Christ by labouring in His kingdom in every area of your influence, He’ll help you and provide what you need for both your private life and for doing His work.
If you want to have a glorious future, you must start investing in yourself today. Do this, and you’ll get so filled with the wisdom of God that you’ll hardly run into trouble without readily getting a solution.
Anchor your hope in the Lord, and live with eternity in mind. You’ll see that what many people struggle to get will be supplied to you without struggle.
Distress usually happens when a person goes through a very tough situation in life. It is totally unpreventable because nobody is exempted from facing life issues. However, what we do during those moments is very crucial. Turn to God!
Asking God for help isn’t a sin. It doesn’t dishonour the Holy Spirit in us. In fact, it enhances and expands God’s work. Jesus, although He was fully God and fully man, did not do ministry alone. He chose twelve apostles to help Him. How much more we?
If there’s anything in your life that you’ve leaned on, so much so that you’ve set all your hope in it, renounce that trust immediately and turn to God.
Be intentional about putting God first in all things, like how David did it (see Psalm 16:8). Hang on to His promise that He’s with you no matter the storms of life (see Isaiah 43:2), and you’ll be comforted.
Life isn’t a rush. Life is about purpose. And the director of your life is the Lord of heaven. Be anchored in your identity in Him, and don’t be intimidated by what people are doing to move on. Each person’s race of faith is in Christ, but everyone’s purpose is unique. Walk with the Lord, and obey your leaders in Christ.
It’s paramount for every child of God to watch his life closely, making sure that nobody or no evil system in this world turns him away from the leadings of God; and I must say that it takes a lot of grace to do this.
Beloved, God’s plan for your life is far better than anything you’ve seen in a well-to-do unbeliever’s life. That person may have money, cars and other life possessions you don’t have. But what about his sufferings like lack of purpose, anxiety and sickness, which you can’t see? Life isn’t about things!
