Budgeting is widely practised in our generation. Although the word “budget” is not found in the Bible, there are several scriptures and happenings captured in the same Word of God that speaks of how important it is to practise it.
Jesus never gave the disciples a method, strategy or medium to spread the gospel. He just told them to go and make disciples of all nations. That means that for them, and now to us to reach the ends of the world, we have been given the liberty to be creative and innovative.
God predestined you to conform to the image of Jesus Christ. So the mission of Jesus is your mission. Live by divine assignment; for that’s the key to life’s fulfillment in Christ.
Jesus is the builder of His church, not you. So with whatever He has called you to do, He is the leader even as you’re the leader of your team or home (I speak to godly married men in this case). And because of that, His work by grace empowerment in you contributes directly to the global building of the Church. So anytime you rebel against Him, you’re veering off His original plan for His worldwide church building; that’s where failure sets in.
Aside from all the needs you pray unto Him about, seek God’s will before implementing your decisions.
Nothing in this world can satisfy the spiritual hunger God has deeply fixed in the hearts of men to seek Him (see Ecclesiastes 3:11). That is why God made Jesus the head over all things for you – his church.
God is good. Even though He’s your Father and Master, He is loving and caring. He knows sin can destroy you. That’s why He has provided whatever you need to live in abstinence to it. Use that privilege by the empowerment of the Spirit.
Every teacher of the Word must live by example because both God and people are watching their lives. For doctrine is contagious.
God wants us to be more concerned with reaching the world through kingdom service. Then, He’ll take responsibility to bring us those things people work for without our struggle by His grace.
Life isn’t for experimentation. It’s supposed to be lived on purpose with intentionality, and only God can give you that privilege. Instead of comparing yourself with others for what they do, approach God to show you what you’re called to do. It’ll settle every insecurity about your eternal ordination in Christ.
Many people want to live a loose life, exploring several things just for fun. But eternal life isn’t about that. It’s about purpose. And where purpose is, discipline is also present. Submit yourself to God’s leadership, and you’ll experience the tangible manifestations of the purpose-driven life in Christ Jesus.
Have you ever wondered what to do when God speaks to you? Maybe you’re confused right now, discerning the strategy to use to fulfil God’s instructions. This article is for you.
