Ways to follow
What comes to mind when you hear the word “humility”? To me, it is a whole lot, especially when it comes to God lifting any of His servants to higher stages of impact. Think about it when the Bible says in James 4:6 that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Really? There are huge benefits to staying humble in the Lord.Let’s dive in.
There was God before anything existed. And because God has no past, nobody, including you and me, can trace when He started existing. For the atheists out there questioning this, let me tell you that you are not going to get any reasonable answer to justify when God began existing. However, there is one principle I can help you accept: that there is God. It’s called the principle of evidence.
In remedy to walking according to the flesh, following the directions of the Holy Spirit should be the hallmark of every child of God. God is good. He doesn’t want you to always live to battle with mental struggles. He wants you to be effective in your walk of faith.
Since the Bible never changes and is still effective, every principle written therein applies to us today. In today’s study scripture release, I want to talk about the depravity of false teachers from 2 Peter 2:12-14. Let’s dive in.
Jesus doesn’t want you to live worrying about what to eat, drink and wear. Why? Because it’ll make you think so shallowly of yourself and put your life in survival mode. Meanwhile, He called you to impact many.
Even if you made the wrong choice, God knows how to order your steps back on track for His destiny in your life. Fret not, dear one. No matter who did that bad thing to you, remember that vengeance is from the Lord.
Your eye is the window to your soul and brain. That implies that what you see and watch affects how you think, whether you like it or not. There are some things that are not good for your eyes to watch. So it is better not to watch it rather than watch for your mental sanity to be affected.
Jesus never struggled to convince people to follow Him. In fact, He even turned down some people’s requests to follow Him after they gave Him excuses (see Luke 9:57-62). If you are a leader and you are struggling to rally people around you to push God’s divine vision on board, you must pray for that spiritual gift because you need it badly.
Because the world is under constant development, there will be new inventions that will try to take away the people of God’s allegiance. And because of that, there shall be a scarcity of hearing sound doctrine teaching, not because they won’t be available, but because many won’t listen to such people.
The devil, knowing how essential marriage is in God’s plan, is working day and night to destroy many homes. And sadly, many people aren’t doing much about it. Today, I want to take one incident that happened in the Bible, specifically Hosea 3, which I hope will help every married person enduring the pain of loving an adulterous wife.
One of the ways faith has to be used is simply for work. So, James 2:26 confirms it by saying that faith without works is dead. That means a believer who doesn’t use his faith to work has a dormant faith in him. And once such a person’s faith status is dormant, many divine things won’t go on so properly in that person’s life.
Timely obedience to God can prevent delays in your life and save generations of people from encountering things they aren’t supposed to. Never disregard God’s Word of instruction.
