A lot of people are living dejected and broken down by the many troubles of life. Some may behave as enemies to you, not because they want to, but because they don’t even know what they are doing (because they may be under the devil’s influence). Wish people well and don’t think of harming them because of what they do.
When your mind is attuned to God, earthly things and possessions won’t be of much bother to your mind. It will help you plan your acquisition of those material possessions when you are able, but won’t make it your primary reason for toiling each day to get them.
You are more than a conqueror through Christ, whether you know it or not. But the more you remain conscious of this truth, the better you’ll view life and find comfort in God despite the many atrocities that come with it.
The Bible says the Holy Spirit will give life to your mortal body. His indwelling in your heart doesn’t mean He’s done with you. He is the one who has been mandated to revive anything you have run short of in your mortal body so that immortality will manifest in your life. That is why you must submit every dormant area of your life to God for Him to bring life to it.
For unbelievers, their minds are purely governed by their flesh because they don’t even have the Holy Spirit to confront them of their wrongdoing. But for you, as a child of God, you decide what should govern your mind because you have liberty. However, scripture urges that you should not use your liberty to sin but to serve one another in love (see Galatians 5:13).
When you trust something or somebody to do something for you, and things mess up, that is when your patience will be subjected to a test. Why? Because things may not go as fast as you want them to, and you’ll be forced to go and pray as you wear the cloak of endurance.
Despite all the evil things happening in the world today, Micah 7:8 provides an encouraging Word to every believer who feels people are anticipating their downfall.
It takes wisdom, not just money, to build many things in life. Solomon knew this. So, when God asked him what he wanted, he didn’t tell God he wanted a long life or honour. Solomon asked for wisdom, got it, and got the other things he didn’t even request (see 2 Chronicles 1:10-12). That means wisdom is essential in life.
Dear one, let your eyes focus on God’s reward for everything you do. Make excellence your hallmark. Be discerning enough to watch how things will turn up in any new thing you decide to do. And remember, you don’t have to listen to everything people say about the things you do because most of them don’t fully understand the work you do.
As a wife, you have an obligation to build your home (see Proverbs 14:1). Much of your husband’s behaviour will reflect how you influence him. So, if you are not submissive, disobedient, stubborn or uncaring, and you start having problems, fix yourself and stop blaming your husband.
Whatever you have, look after it well. Fight against little acts of compromise, lest you destroy something precious in your life.
How God has designed your life will not follow any preconceived order the world has projected. In other words, there are so many irregularities in each person’s life that nobody can decipher their ways that easily.
