It takes a lot of work to succeed and keep going strong in anything God has called a person to do, not only ministry-wise. And that requires you to manage your charisma well. Learn more about this leadership piece.
The Lord does not look at the things people look at. While many people can rate another person fit for a job or position based on physical stature or Earthly possessions, God looks at the heart. If your heart is pure before Him, He will choose you over the masses who boast in their physical stature and possessions.
Sometimes, when God inspires you to help others, you may not have all the resources you need to do that, both financial and human resource-wise. However, once that desire is there, God doesn’t care about multiplying the little you have for it to become plenty for people to enjoy.
Don’t bring selfish ambitions to team gatherings. It doesn’t help. Yes, God can give you extraordinary visions to pursue, which is good because it will not make you settle for less. But learn how to separate such ambitions from your team activities and pursue them as God gives you the enablement.
Don’t think what you do in secret isn’t seen by God. No! He has already seen it. If what you are doing is good and gives Him the glory, continue with it. If it is bad, repent and get back on track. Be conscious of your divine mandate because you will ultimately account for it.
If ministries collaborate with other ministries to do God’s work, the impact of all the ministries that came together for this work will be more potent than what only one can do. In homes, a couple with a strong marriage will have a more blessed home than the one that is divided. Yes, it is a law.
The benefits of recognising and obeying The Voice of God are immeasurable—guidance, peace, power, and divine purpose. Each moment you ignore The Voice, you miss out on the direction and blessings that God has prepared for you. As a believer, cultivate the discipline of discernment and obedience, knowing that The Voice of Christ leads you on the path of righteousness, fulfilment, and eternal life.
The devil is an expert in blinding you from the cost of betrayal when you attempt to do evil things against someone you serve, whether in ministry or at the workplace. He has a way of making you desire to steal money without telling you that you can get imprisoned. Be smarter than him, and when you feel overwhelmed with bad things happening at any place you are, go back to God and ask Him clarifying questions.
Following Jesus can complicate your life more than a worldly person. But the reward for following Him outweighs the disadvantages, and one of the primary benefits is the reward in heaven reserved for you based on your kingdom exploits.
There are too many people depending on you to rise and honour God’s call on your life. Yes, it won’t be easy to do God’s work, especially from the start with unfavourable conditions. But He is with You. Never give up on Him. Press on even if things are not okay. Things will get better with time.
There are far too many people seeking to know God in this generation but aren’t finding Him because they don’t know how to. That is why you shouldn’t be surprised when people run to you because you have God. They want to experience the God you have in ways they haven’t seen before. When God lifts you and gives you that privilege, don’t mess up with it because it’s about the welfare of His people.
As you grow in what you do, there are times when you need to evaluate what is going on so you can correct your mistakes and make things better. Who knows, your key to enjoying the year would start like this?
