Blessed are those who hear the Word and obey it, said Jesus. That means Jesus doesn’t want people to just listen to Him but also to do what His Word says. And if you’re going to live like that, you must study the Word and walk in its consciousness.
Only God can give you balance in life. Only He can ensure that your life knows no lack and that you are completely at rest and experiencing growth in every area of it. So, if you want to live in God’s delight, pursue a deeper intimacy with Him to know Him better and ask for wisdom to manage your life and anything He has given you well.
No loving parent chastises their child to drive them away but rather to bring them back onto the right path. Similarly, God’s chastisement is not meant to condemn us but to lead us to repentance and restoration. As His children, we must recognise His authority over us and submit to His loving correction, trusting that it is for our ultimate good.
Child of God, you ought to live wisely in this perverse generation. You shouldn’t leave your labour to know the Lord intimately to chance. Because, I tell you, it won’t happen by automation. And the more you know God, the more you will be free from deception. May the Lord be your light.
No matter what work you do, you must insist on spending time with the Lord regularly. When you do that, it’ll help you to be renewed in your inner man each day. As a matter of fact, it enables you to work more effectively than any ordinary unbelieving worker.
Your faith journey is like a race but with no competition with others. Why? Because each person’s destiny is different. That means there’s no need to compare your life to another person in Christ. But in this race, finishing strong is very necessary.
People will confuse you if you don’t get to know God well. Spend time knowing God intimately. And don’t leave your spiritual growth to chance.
The Bible urges believers to mortify the deeds of the flesh, emphasising that the flesh profits nothing (John 6:63) and that carnal-mindedness leads to death (Romans 8:6). By prioritizing spiritual growth through the Word, prayer, and worship, we Christians can cultivate their spirit, allowing it to bear good fruit and overcome the flesh’s temptations.
Everything you live for in Christ must be rooted in faith, which involves perceiving everything from an accurate understanding of the Word. Therefore, to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, you need to know the Word.
If you are a believer who has been feeding your fleshly lusts, there is a warning from scripture for you today. You must put off your old self consciously. In fact, God won’t descend from above to do that for you; you must do it yourself. But the question is, how?
Child of God, it is God’s desire for you to mature spiritually. That is why, even before the Church was born, Jesus Christ apportioned diverse gifts to men to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry. When you submit to this divine administration, what happens is that you’ll mature spiritually, especially in divine knowledge.
You will always be different because your divine gifts are unique. What is important is that you harness your divine gift for it to be so sharp that you that it command global attention.
