Don't get offended when people are mean and rude to you because they know you are a Christian. You are a target for nasty spirits when they know you are sold out for Christ! Keep serving Him and treat them as He treats you - with love, mercy and kindness.
If life is not going the way you want and you are miserable as a result, then you are really unhappy with God. He is sovereign! You are where He wants to to be. He controls every aspect of your life! Find reasons to be thankful.
Don’t let the promises of God become an obsession to you. God will do what He said He will do; when He is ready to do it. Don’t get distracted.
We do not have a say in how our lives should be. Everything that happened in our lives is because God decreed it to be so. We can strive for things that we want, but if God did not establish it, it will not come to pass. God is sovereign!
God gives us a promise, but He doesn’t always tell us about what will happen in between times... the hardships, suffering and persecution that we may experience before the promise comes to pass. Brace yourself for it! The suffering doesn’t change God’s plan - it strengthens us for greatness!
If you’re feeling anxious, train yourself to turn it into praise! Praise begins to shift your perspective and set your heart on God, not the circumstances. How can fear and anxiety thrive in an environment of praise? It can’t! Force yourself to praise God!
A good portion of our problems start with us doing our own thing instead of following God. Know God's will for your life! How do you know? By knowing God intimately through His word.
Do you want to know how to deal with fake, phony, mean and difficult people that you will encounter on your Christian journey and yet be kind to them despite how they act? It is through humility! God gives grace to the humble. God’s grace makes you versatile; ready and able to shift under any circumstance.
It is alright to feel helpless, but you are not hopeless! You have Christ in your life, so you have hope. Your situation may not look like it is changing, but God is still working; governing everything about your life. Give Him praise!
Don’t apologize for living holy! The world wants to make you feel bad for living according to God’s standards and not its standards. There is nothing wrong with holiness and righteousness.
God will not move you into another situation till you learn how to love Him in your current situation.
Prayer is effective when we pray back to God what the scriptures says. God will not hold back on what He said He will do for us in His word! Yet many of us pray and omit reading and studying God’s holy word. His promises to us are found in the Bible, not in our feelings and imaginations. Begin today to be effective in prayer - read the scriptures and use it to pray!
It’s too much work to devote ourselves to prayer, Bible study and fasting! Yet those are the key things that open the doors to blessings. It’s time to become devoted saints. We have too much going on in our world today to be lax in our devotion to God!
Many of us want the blessings that God has to offer, but we don’t want to do the work it takes to acquire those blessings.
People will try to dissuade you from obeying God. Your obedience to Him highlights their disobedience! Don't be distracted by their opinions. Be determined to keep your stance to obey God no matter people say.
God will equip us with everything necessary to do what He has called us to do. All we have to do is agree, trust and obey Him!
