Dear one, your life is precious to God. It is time-bound for you to fulfil what God has called you to do on Earth. Avoid using it for gratifying fleshly desires. Instead, use it to do what God has called you to do.
God is still in the business of turning nobodies into somebodies. No matter how bad your beginning is, keep serving Him. His honour on your life will keep increasing, and He will keep rewarding you even for your secret labours.
The Bible entreats all believers to preach the gospel, both in and out of season (see 2 Timothy 4:2). So, the matter of preaching the gospel isn’t about when you feel comfortable to do it. Instead, it is about being faithful to God’s commission. However, there are precautions to take as you keep doing this. That is, remain separate unto the Lord.
Jesus is coming again and demands that all people repent (see Acts 17:30). Do you revere God? If not, it’s time to repent. If yes, preach the gospel to others so they can be saved. Snatch some from the path leading to hell. Don’t watch people intentionally die in sin while God is waiting to give them a glorious life, starting here on earth and in heaven. Be serious about spreading the net of kingdom influence.
You have what you have because God gave it or inspired others to give it to you. So, don’t let that thing make you proud. Exercise humility in relating to people regardless of their states of life. Remain humble under God’s mighty hand, so He will keep lifting you in glory.
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.
If you don’t know how to pray in the quiet moments or at any moment of your life, begin with just calling on the name of the Lord. His name is powerful and can be an anchor to you in various points of need in your life.
God isn’t a selfish God, so He isn’t concerned with providing needs for only you to survive. He wants to lavish you with many benefits, large enough to help others. So when you ask Him to supply you with provision, ask big.
God wants you to honour Him with your wealth. But you may ask, what is the meaning of the word “honour” in the scripture? Well, from the Strong’s Concordance, it means a lot of things. Some are: promote, bring to, glorify. All these three point to blessing the work of the Lord with your finance so that things will go on well. It’s evident that a church that doesn’t have adequate finances usually doesn’t do much. No matter how much you earn, be intentional about supporting God’s work with some.
When God tells you something, how do you handle it? Do you document it and put it in a place you won’t forget, or do you brush it aside? Many people disobey God because they simply forget what He told them to do. Don’t let that be your case. If you are someone who forgets things fast, write down God’s promise to you at a place you’ll remember.
Living in fear (reverence) of God in an increasing manner has a direct link to walking in divine obedience to God’s commands. The more you are careful to obey God’s commands, the higher you’ll increase in wisdom in Christ.
There is a purpose God created you to live for. And one of them is to live to express Jesus in every area of your life. You may not know how important this is, but I tell you, it is very essential. If every area of your life reflects Christ, think about how your life will be to the world. Devoid of any evil. Right?
