‘Am I Leading a Rebellion’
As a leader, one grievous thing you shouldn’t do is lead people to disobey authority. Once you do that, you’re leading a rebellion, and rebellion doesn’t glorify God.

You cannot work when you’re dead. So give your best wherever you are, knowing that your service is first unto the Lord before man. He is faithful to fulfilling everything He has said concerning your life.
You don’t need another spiritual blessing to be relevant in your generation. You are a blessing to generations already since you came to Christ. But its manifestation depends on you. Will you go to God to show you which strategy to use to bring the blessing to fruition?
God may have shown you glimpses of your future, how bright it is or will be. But when you compare where you are today and the beautiful imagination about your life in mind, you just cannot trace your path there. Let me encourage you: it is worth the wait. Grow through the process.
Your life has already been foreordained to walk in good works (Ephesians 2:10). So it’s not merely about anything your hands find doing, but fulfilling divine purpose. Look out for God’s will before executing your decisions, even the most carefully thought-out ones.
Becoming a strong Christian isn’t automatic for the believer in Christ. It comes with work. Identify which kind of Christian are you and how to become a strong one through strategic discipleship.
Psalm 119:105 is probably one of the most famous verses in the whole Psalms. But do you know in it David described the two-fold leadership God’s Word offers to the Christian?
God gives leaders insight into the future. Hence, they discipline their lives, as well as everyone around them, to move towards the vision’s fulfilment.
Most people, including some Christians, are fast detectors of other people’s errors, but not themselves. Sometimes, we believers in Christ forget that there’s a charge on us in the Word to watch our lives closely (1 Timothy 4:16). And because of this truth, we’re not supposed to be only concerned with correcting others at the expense of ourselves.
Friend, don’t force yourself to please people by doing good things beyond your capacity. Life in Christ isn’t a competition. Everyone’s race of faith is different, with different divine assignments. If you cannot give as much as others do, celebrate God and do what you can by grace.
God has fixed your destiny. But you need His Word to teach you both what to do with each step you make and, at the same time, give you a vision of your future so you won’t miss your providential way. That is what it means for the Word to be both a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path (Psalm 119:105).
Fret not when you see challenges opposed to your calling. The Lord will perfect everything that concerns you. He will work things out for your good. In all your ways, submit to Him.
