You must be intentional about sealing every area of your life with Christ, so you give no space to the enemy. Sometimes, side gigs to make you more busy solve this issue. But the ultimate solution is putting on Christ. Once you forget to do that, you give the devil space to exploit your time.
When you get born again, you have access to all the privileges in God’s grace. But God, in His wisdom, will deny you access to some of them so that you’ll grow in grace and knowledge of Him. And when that happens, it’ll be easy to manage that blessing when they start coming.
Solomon, in Ecclesiastics 12:12 did say that too much study is wearisome to the flesh, not to your spirit. So, in no way does Ecclesiastes 12:12 tell you to put limits on getting divine knowledge. That is why there’s nowhere in scripture that tells you to limit your pursuit to know God better.
Dear parent, your young boy or girl may be battling with certain addictions you are not even aware of. The best way to secure that child’s future is to teach him to remember his creator in the days of his youth. On the other hand, ensure your children love church right from their infancy. It’ll establish them in God.
God ensures His churches and Christian organisations hold consistent meetings, release resources, like this devotional you are reading, and do more outreach because people have to be spiritually well-fed with sound doctrine.
Seal every part of your life with the work and Word of God. Leave no area unattended. If you are working, be diligent. And if you are married, be a good spouse there, too. Whatever you add to your life, organise it well to oversee every area of it.
What are you doing with your life that is keeping you busy with something unnecessary before God? Evaluate your life with this question, and chop off any engagement you’re involved in that is taking so much of your time but isn’t yielding any eternal benefit in God’s kingdom for you.
When it comes to how God’s kingdom operates, there is a someway-somehow means for which God’s Word finds fruition in the one who receives it. That way is not the job of any preacher to figure it out because it is mysterious. But, be concerned with feeding God’s flock with quality Word.
Jesus said, “… whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.” But before that, He pointed to those listening to Him as His kingdom relatives. Right? That means it is God’s will for you to listen to His Word. As long as you do that, you are in God’s will.
Dear pastor or ministry worker, take care of your spiritual health in the Lord. You came to meet work, and work will continue without you around. Don’t do ministry consistently without taking retreats. Plan that so well, no matter how busy your schedule is. Forget about people’s demands and be with the Lord regularly.
If God has given you the privilege to be faithful in coming to Him in prayer and interceding for others, then there is work to do on your part to keep the fire on your altar burning. Don’t think you’ll draw near to God without putting in much effort.
Every Christian eats in the flesh just as any ordinary person does to food. But taking in the Word of God has the capacity to satisfy every craving in your soul, something nobody can get from this physical realm.
