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.
Dear servant of God, what do you use to do the work? Is it your ability, skillset, knowledge or expertise in your career? Your knowledge may be essential for God’s work. However, don’t ever place it as a higher priority in your mind than the supplicative ability of God to serve Him. Or else you’ll do yourself a lot of harm.
The work that God has sent us to do can only be done when it is day. If no one, including Jesus Himself, can work at night, then obviously we have to keep doing the work of God’s kingdom every day while we can.
As much as God wants each one to flow in abundance in all things (see 2 Corinthians 9:8), so much so that none will be dependent on anybody (see 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12), don’t be enslaved to materialism. Let God discipline your life, and live with wisdom. People pleasing is not the reason for your existence.
The eternal life Jesus has given you is beyond what you physically have. It’s about knowing Him, so much so that every blessing from Him aids you in enjoying life as you fulfil your divine mandate. Live with Jesus as Your focus.
[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)
The insight God has given you to judge situations righteously can only be put to use when you speak. Refuse to let worldly opinions override what God has told you in your mind. If God never fails, His Word will never fail too. Stay faithful to Him.
If a child of God can distinguish between what is holy and what is profane, he needs discernment, not common sense. And you can go for that today by the empowerment of Jesus.
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.
If you’re a ministry leader reading this, please insist on leading the church to evangelise to people. If you’re a Christian belonging to a church, never forget to preach Jesus to people who come around you or who you encounter in life. Enough of beating around the gospel. Hell must be depopulated. Play your part!
A purpose-driven way of living makes you live a very tight life. You won’t involve yourself in just anything that comes your way. No! God shows you what to do each day and teaches you how to be committed to the vision.
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.
