After ascending the throne as Israel’s king, David had all the riches he wanted. He had all the wives, children, and servants; name them. He had everything. Instead of priding himself on his possessions, he wrote in Psalm 27:4 that his primary desire is to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. What about you? After getting all the money, connections, business successes and more, will God still be your number one priority in your life?
When the Bible says blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord, it means that God has not called you to sleep and wait for His manifestation of divine blessings. He is actually telling you to use the knowledge you’ve received in His Word to work.
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).
I want to ask you, who is Jesus to you personally? Is He the One your pastor has been preaching about, or the One you’ve encountered in your aloneness with Him? If you don’t know Jesus by revelation, it’s time to step up and pursue a deeper intimacy with Him.
If you are a servant of God and don’t know God in your secrecy, you’ll not be an accurate minister of the gospel. That goes especially to prophets. Sometimes, the reason why some of them get some prophecies wrong is not because they are fake; it’s just an exposure to a lack of deeper intimacy with the Father. Don’t let that be your case.
Dear one, as long as you have life today, you have another opportunity to contribute to your database of good works in Christ. Don’t let the enemy deceive you that you don’t have to do more today. No! There are higher realms of impact than where God has taken you right now. It can only get better with you.
There is no such thing as too much study of the Bible. Again, your human spirit has an unlimited capacity to receive spiritual food from God’s Word. However, when you study, you’ll feel tiredness in your body. But you don’t need to give up.
Guard the Word sown in your heart, whether you receive it via a sermon in church, personal Bible Study or through a ministry media content. If you don’t guard it and you allow other things to distract you, the devil will steal it from you.
Storms and issues in life will come to attack the Word of God you have heard. But if you have used it to build your life, you will survive.
In Matthew 7:3-5, Jesus said it is hypocrisy to point out another man’s faults and neglect your own. In other words, don’t think you are so perfect that there’s nothing wrong with you to correct. I tell you that the best version of you is yet to be seen. There is more to do and more to learn.
When you disfigure your face, people will know you are hungry, and it won’t help you to fast in privacy. But when you put up a nice face and concentrate on God to grant you your request as you fast, your mind will go less on food and more on God, which will also reduce the suspicions of others.
As you grow, you’ll get busier, and if you don’t take care, you’ll be tempted to drop down your prayer and time with God so low on your priority list. Step up and be serious because God is still interested in You knowing Him more, regardless of your age.
