It’s essential to understand that ministry is full of sacrifice. However, there are some privileges in Christ for ministers too, and if you are unaware of them or do not insist on them, you won’t enjoy them. One of them is what Paul shared in Galatians 6:6 (NKJV).
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.
God will make your feet like the deer’s feet: That means God will help you increase your pace in life. What takes others years to do will be done in months when God steps in with His supernatural speed and divine provision.
You may not see the Lord supply significant provisions in your life now. But don’t lose hope in Him. Keep following His ways and worry less about your life. He is with you and will never leave nor forsake you. In the midst of all the turmoil, stay faithful to His call. He will not put you to shame.
“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:8). This divine storehouse is spiritual, infinite, and provides straightforward help to believers with no strings attached.
In Isaiah 46:4, God said clearly that He will sustain you even in your old age with grey hairs. He has promised to carry and rescue you from all forms of trouble. That is a promise He has made. But do you believe it? Even if you believe, are you conscious of this Word every day? Why do you think it’ll get worse with you as you grow old? God has not planned that for you.
It is not easy to maintain your joy in the midst of troubles. But with God, all things are possible. Issues magnify according to how much attention you give to it. So move forward in faith, and trust God to provide all your needs, both material and immaterial, for the benefit of your wellbeing.
You don’t have to give your children everything the ask for, especially if they see that you have lots of money. If you do that, you’ll grow a spirit of selfishness and greed in them, and they will likely not have enough wisdom to manage everything you provide for them.
Why worry about what you’ll wear if God has promised to supply all your needs? Wear what you have and trust God to provide what you’ll need in the near future.
The Preacher says in Proverbs 14:34a that righteousness exalts a nation. And when I check the meaning of the word “exalt,” it means upliftment. That means it takes right living before God by individuals in a nation for God to lift that nation to glory.
Anxiety makes you doubt God’s provisions for your life, especially when you aren’t on any payroll. But God’s ways are past finding out. If He can direct what ways ravens should fly in order to get food to eat, then He knows how to provide for you in ways that aren’t in the traditional thinking of man’s ways of getting needs met.
Sometimes, when God inspires you to help others, you may not have all the resources you need to do that, both financial and human resource-wise. However, once that desire is there, God doesn’t care about multiplying the little you have for it to become plenty for people to enjoy.
