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.
As a parent, if God has blessed you with a child, He wants you to be faithful in caring for that child. And as a pastor, if God has blessed you with some of His sheep, be faithful to give them meaningful spiritual food. More importantly, as a child of God, don’t be over-reliant on others for your spiritual growth. Take utmost responsibility for it.
If you are a Christian and you think your unbelieving companions, including the atheists, are getting more material possessions than you, don’t ever think you are late. You are not late. In fact, God is setting you up for a high elevation beyond what people think of you. Fret not! For God has got you well covered.
Do not think nothing will come against you when you are bent on retaining God’s Word in your heart. They will, but as you remember what God taught you, it will be easy to make the right choice anytime you encounter that situation.
Life is not easy. But thriving in your spiritual growth is what will make other areas of your life more beautiful. Instead of getting distracted by the many cares of this world, why don’t you prioritise having a sweet relationship with God so that He can bless you?
