Be Your Own Chief Supervisor
It’s about time the children of God must desist from working to merely please people and letting money be the ultimate inspiration for what they do, especially in church.

You may ask whether people in authority need prayers. After all, don’t they have enough money and security? Yes, they do. Why? If you don’t pray for them, their minds will start conceiving evil thoughts. And when such thoughts get implemented, people will suffer, including you.
Dear friend, there is a high calling for you. But before you get there, you must adapt to godly change as the Spirit leads you – both in thoughts and physical exploits.
As a follower of Christ, you must learn the art of handling criticism. No matter what you do, they’ll come. People will craft stories about you merely to defame your name and the Jesus you profess. But the good news is that those people didn’t call you; God did.
God’s Word has stood the test of time. It hasn’t changed or lost a single bit of power to transform lives. Don’t downplay its role in your life. No! Live with it in your consciousness. That will give you security in life.
You must labour to have a healthy spiritual eye. But how? By investing in knowing God intimately every single day. Prioritise prayer, Word study, fasting and going to church regularly. Doing these consistently will illuminate your spirit with Christ, and your life will follow the direction of God’s purposes.
If Jesus wants you to get to a height in your faith journey in Him where you can fast without external leadership, then He desires you to mature spiritually.
Prophecies don’t die, but without waging warfare on them, they’ll remain dormant. That is why your vision is worth writing down. Why? So that you can see it and run with it.
Jesus said in John 8:51 that “… whoever obeys my Word will never see death.” That means that even when we are in Christ and do not obey God’s Word, we are prone to face consistent hardship in life, and unfortunately, many believers are living like this. They are in Christ but disregard the authority of His Word over their lives. As followers of Christ, we must rely solely on His Word always. We ought to treasure it and carve it on our hearts.
If God did it for someone else, go to that same God to do it for you instead of envying the person.
Obey your spiritual leader. Honour him very well. But don’t come to church or serve in the ministry because of him, otherwise, that would be an eyeservice and that is not pleasing before God. Remember to seek Jesus in all that you do.
Leaders usually do in secret what people see in public. So when others desire to follow them, they are oblivious to the fact that their excellence in what they do is a product of the consistent practice of what they do behind the scenes. If you want to lead your generation by example, teach them to do what you do instead of making them admire you.
