Filter Out God’s Voice in Man’s Voice
Filter out God’s voice in man’s voice. I mean, take out the advice trapped in man’s voice that tallies with what God has said about your life and destiny. Then, leave the rest out.
Discerning Voices in People’s Talks
Minister of God, it’s not every human voice that speaks to you that’s actually a human voice. Sometimes, it’s God speaking through people to you. Other times, it’s demons. And also, sometimes, it’s the people themselves. If you make the mistake of not discerning voices in people’s talks, you’ll end up misinterpreting people and always blaming yourself for doing wrong things.
Expose the Vision to Your Team Consistently
Dear leader, the people you work with must understand what you’re building upon as God shows you. You must expose the vision to your team consistently, not to the general public. That will make your team believe in God and in you too.
Hide Your Generous Deeds
As Jesus taught, hide your generous deeds. Give from a willing heart, knowing that the Lord will reward you. Publicity will fade with time.
Don’t Allow the World to Rename You
Today, many people remember Daniel by name, but not Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. Numerous believers call the latter three by the new names they gave them: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They allowed Babylon to rename them, and that affected their maximum exploits they’d have done for the Lord in that kingdom. Don’t allow the world to rename you.

Time is a tremendous revelator of people’s deep intents for being around your life.
Rejected by God but Accepted by Men
Have you read the Old Testament and seen how Saul got rejected by God as king, yet he continued to sit on the throne of Israel for years? That tells us how severe God’s decisions are without man’s insight into it, even if it’ll take years to manifest.
Live as Children of Light
Any human being can do good out of his own volition. However, it’s only in Christ you can walk in good works.
Avoid Unrealistic Accusations
If you feel suspicious about something, let time reveal the true nature of the matter as you watch, pray and wait on the Lord.
Peace Is the All-Round Definition of Wise Paths
All the paths of wisdom are peace, the Bible says. That means if you don’t have peace within you for that decision you want to take, it’s not wise to pursue it. Otherwise, you’ll sign up for future hurts you could have avoided.
Do not Be Wise in Your Own Eyes
God has given you the wisdom to navigate life well. Ask Him for more of it and use it, so the quality of your life will become better as you grow spiritually.
What You See in Your Mind Will Affect How You Live
Don’t be deceived. Life is in phases. And the earlier you understand your season, the earlier you’ll understand what to do from time to time.
