You Have No Need in Eternal Life and Godliness
Stop begging and living like a hustler while there’s eternal life dwelling inside you! Get to know God more intimately, and every need you think you have will be met by Jesus without your human toils.

For us Christians, God doesn’t want us to carry both good and evil thoughts in our minds. That is why He wants to build a world where believers will need nothing from the world to go about life’s activities. But since we live in an evil age (see Galatians 1:4) where some people we interact with daily are unbelievers, He doesn’t want us to be ignorant of their evil ways.
To the young believer who keeps investing in knowing God more intimately day by day, you shall bear fruit in your old age. You shall flourish in the courts of God. You shall come up with innovations that make God known in this evil generation in the name of Jesus.
You might have strong reasons to speak harsh words against those who attack the anointing upon your life to do God’s work in peace. But Assume the place of love and forgive them. Think well of your enemies. Don’t wish them to fall, although they deserve it.
The Word says it is better to suffer for doing good if it’s God’s will rather than doing evil (see 1 Peter 3:17). So, beyond the wailings you’re suffering, commit to following God’s ways.
Don’t let another believer’s dissimilar attitude destroy your countenance at times. Sometimes, God wants to teach you great things through the behaviours of such people and several life encounters whenever they are around.
Let another man praise you for what you have or do, and not yourself. Be so focused on fulfilling your divine mandate that you’ll care less about your possessions. And the faithful God will never cease unleashing you to higher realms of glory.
Whether the people God has given you obey the Word you preach or not, just keep preaching. Their lives will be cleansed by the same Word. Sow into the kingdom without looking at what men say. The Lord is faithful to His Word.
Sometimes, you’ll not get a specific father in Christ to build you up, but through one notable encounter and consistent fellowship with the Lord, you’ll become a firebrand minister. For every child of God like that, I pray for the grace to start and finish strong in the Lord’s work.
Look at the life of Jesus! He was (and is still king) of the entire universe. But when people insulted Him, He didn’t revile back (1 Peter 2:23). He was so quiet before Pilate that Pilate himself marvelled (see Mark 15:3-4). Besides knowing that He ought to die and save all humanity, Jesus knew that boasting before Pilate was not wise. Learn from this!
Many more people are coming up with evil ways to indulge people inside. And as believers, what should we do? Refute these demonic ways, right? But how’s that possible if we don’t experience unified growth, both individually and corporately, as believers in Christ?
God wants you to live so pure and wisely that no evil finds expression in any part of your life.
