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.
As Jesus taught, hide your generous deeds. Give from a willing heart, knowing that the Lord will reward you. Publicity will fade with time.
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.
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.
Any human being can do good out of his own volition. However, it’s only in Christ you can walk in good works.
If you feel suspicious about something, let time reveal the true nature of the matter as you watch, pray and wait on the Lord.
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.
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.
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.
Are you sure the doctrine you’re holding on to is sound, or it’s a lie? Check it in God’s Word and see how it has affected your life. I believe that if believers will answer some questions like this and take personal actions against them, pastors won’t be suffering like these days to keep correcting congregants of wrong ways of living.
When Jesus said your eye is the lamp of your body, he meant that your level of insight in God’s Word directly affects the quality of your physical life.
