God likes to conceal matters. But He reveals those secrets to those who fear Him (see Psalm 25:9). However, for you to fear God, you must be close to Him. So, in essence, those who are close to God are those who get to know the secrets of God. And that explains why strong Christians who love to have fellowship with God possess much divine wisdom.
Don’t let the devil deceive you. Every word of prophecy God has released upon your life will be fulfilled. But be careful. You don’t determine the time God will fulfil it. Your work is to believe in Him and labour consistently in prayers for that Word to be fulfilled.
Remember that everything earthly is temporary, so don’t let ALL your life goals be about getting material possessions. Kingdom wealth isn’t perishable. Go for it instead of settling for mere earthly rewards.
God sent John the Baptist to prepare the way for Jesus’ coming. But his mother, Elisabeth, was very old when she gave birth to her. In fact, she was so old that when her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had shown her mercy, they rejoiced with her (see Luke 1:58). Today, the work John the Baptist came to do has been recognised in scripture. Can I tell you something? There is great divine mercy for a special child.
After the angel Gabriel gave Mary the news that Jesus would be born through her and used Elisabeth’s case of giving birth in old age, she decided to go and stay with the old lady. Mary’s decision to go and stay with Elisabeth implies that it is prudent to hang around people who are pregnant with God’s promises.
God’s timing is very different from that of man’s. So anytime He gives a promise, when He’ll do it is up to Him and not to us. Never allow men to pressure you to make decisions to tamper with God’s timing for fulfilling His prophecies. Your duty is to keep believing in Him and watchful in prayer.
Just like a child can’t lift weights, we can’t handle life alone. We need Jesus. Taking inspiration from Philippians 4:12-13, let’s explore how to achieve all things through Christ’s strength.
Child of God, I encourage you to not only settle for receiving promises from the Lord but also probe further to let Him explain how He will do what He has said. Doing that will give you more evidence to stand firm in your faith concerning what God has said.
Don’t be a passive churchgoer in Christ. Work on understanding the Word you receive every single time. Don’t just take notes while listening to sermons, only to leave them after service. No! Make time to revise and pray through them. In that way, the devil won’t be able to steal it from your heart.
You have authority over the enemy and his demons. But if you don’t use it, they can capitalise on your ignorance and cause harm in your life without you knowing how to do anything about it. The devil is never your friend, so don’t entertain his evil ways in your life.
Do you struggle with porn, alcoholism, gluttony, smoking, what? Bring all of them to Jesus. Just stay in His presence and keep fellowshipping with Him. He will transform you wholly.
Two primary functions of a sword are offence and defence. For offence, it destroys the works of the enemy. For defence, it provides us with divine covering when we live in its consciousness.
