If you follow Earthly ways to live, which many have followed, it won’t end well with you because you’ll be investing in your flesh so much, which profits nothing, according to Jesus (see John 6:63). However, when you follow the ways of God, your life will move on from glory to glory.
Life is more spiritual than the physical dimension we walk in. Do you know what goes on behind the scenes of life? And how do you live in such a way that you will not fall into trouble? Well, let us read along and see how we can receive fresh revelations from the Lord even as we manoeuvre our way through the turmoils of life.
God is so determined to preserve His loved ones from evil. Why? Because He needs them to fulfil His dominion mandate on Earth. In fact, He’s so intentional about it that He is careful to choose those He allows to come into their lives for specific purposes. That is why it’s unusual for a strong Christian to have an unbeliever as his best friend.
Don’t be a fault-finding leader of your team. Understand that they are not as competent as you think. Neither do they always know your reason for making some decisions. Give everyone the space to voice out one’s ideas. It fosters great team communication, which is essential for teamwork productivity.
God is the all-powerful God. There’s nothing too hard for Him. However, He needs your partnership to fulfil His divine mandate for your life well. So don’t be afraid. When you feel like you can’t do that thing God spoke to you about, go back in prayer and draw your strength from Him. He’s with You!
[2] “Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; [3] nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; [4] and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.” – 1 Peter 5:2-4 (NKJV)
Many people don’t revere Jesus from their hearts. That is why they don’t do what He says, even though some go to church and listen to His Word each week. If you’ve taken your faith journey seriously, continue pressing on. Listen not to the talk of people who don’t revere the ways of God. However, most importantly, surround your life with like-minded believers who’ll help you in your faith journey.
Not everyone will value the principles of God you cherish so much. Walk in wisdom towards unbelievers. Save yourself some time by not spending it with people who distract you from God’s call.
For us to have dominion over the Earth as God commanded us in Genesis 1:28, having expansive thinking is a great necessity. Anything you’re building is at the mercy of how far you can think. So don’t joke with maintaining great spiritual sanity in your life.
No great man in God’s kingdom has a normal life. So don’t settle for normalcy as God’s child while you’re called to do big things. Follow God’s leading even in discomfort, and you’ll not lose your eternal reward.
Proverbs 12:1 says whoever loves instruction loves knowledge. In other words, when you keep accepting corrections and guidance from the right people, you’ll grow in knowledge in every area you’re taught in.
