If you are a believer reading this today and God told you to start something—say a business, ministry, or any establishment—or even get married to that fantastic spouse, be rest assured that it’ll not go down the drain. Don’t give up no matter what happens!
If you are a believer who has been feeding your fleshly lusts, there is a warning from scripture for you today. You must put off your old self consciously. In fact, God won’t descend from above to do that for you; you must do it yourself. But the question is, how?
You will always be different because your divine gifts are unique. What is important is that you harness your divine gift for it to be so sharp that you that it command global attention.
Consecration in fulfilling your divine mandate requires that you don’t touch the filth in the world. So even though you are in the world, you are not of it (see John 17:16). Let your thinking patterns and how you see life be rooted in the Word of God. In that way, you will always live a life worthy of your divine calling in Christ, no matter where you are on the face of this earth.
Not everyone will like you for what you do, even if you always do the right thing. Sticking to saying the truth will attract enemies from diverse areas – government and even families. So enough of the people-pleasing, and do what God tells you to do.
As a shepherd, let it be in your consciousness that your work is not done when you introduce a soul to Jesus. Ensuring that person is discipled is even more laborious. Embrace it and let God strengthen you to work on it.
When you remain close to Jesus, He will empower you to stay humble like little children in order to serve, thereby becoming great in the kingdom of heaven.
Every establishment that is not God-ordained will eventually fail. It could be a business scam, an idea that promotes evil, or activities that don’t honour God. All those things will come to nought with time, no matter how much money is dedicated to funding such works.
Blessed are you when you rejoice in Jesus’s marvellous works in another person’s ministry. Ministry isn’t like a business where there is competition. No! It belongs to God. Let Him direct you as you do it.
As a believer, you are already in the Spirit (see Romans 8:9). You got translated into the Spirit the moment you were saved. But even though that’s your spiritual position, walking in that realm requires intentional followership of the Word and Spirit’s leading in your life.
Dear Christian, you must conquer the fear of man in anything you are doing. When you fear people, you’ll not be yourself in your own space. Fight off this evil affecting this generation, making people live as hypocrites and liars because of what people will say about them.
According to 2 Peter 1:8, if, as a believer, you possess and abound in virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love, you’ll not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Simply put, you can’t possess these qualities and remain an ordinary Christian. It’s just impossible.
