It takes a lot of work to keep your spiritual fervour (fire) as a minister so you can serve the Lord. Once you neglect this work and prioritise ministry over it, then the stress and burnout begin to happen. To invest in taking care of your spiritual health, I recommend a few things from scripture to you, which, when you implement them, will help you immensely. Take a read.
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.
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.
Plans are good and having a vision is essential in life. Why? At least, it gives a person’s life a sense of purpose and direction. However, being consumed by the plans can be problematic if there is no spirit of patience, especially for Christians. Today, that advice goes to you.
In Galatians 6:9, Paul implored the believers in the Galatian church, saying they should not grow weary of doing good. But why? For in due season, they shall reap a harvest if they don’t lose heart. This, in fact, is one of the most encouraging verses in the Bible, especially to those heartbroken by others who have repaid evil for the good they did for them.
The devil has no good plans for you. He has a way of making you think there’s nothing wrong with the sin and likes bombarding you with so many temptations so you can fall for it. But hey, resist him. Speak God’s Word by divine authority and sack those evil thoughts away from your mind. It’s a war to do that, so never give up. And even if you fall, run to the Lord in repentance and speak to a trusted friend in the Lord to help you out. But after your healing, don’t go back to it. Lay aside every weight and always ask for grace to cover every area of your life.
God loves you, and it is not everything He will tell you to do that is meant for the whole world to see. People-pleasing is not your goal. So don’t settle for it.
In Christ, despite your problems, it is possible to live being anxious for nothing. But it’s possible through prayer.
Evil is really present in this world. Prioritising learning how to live wisely in this perverse generation is for your good. Learn more in this article today.
If God, who’s love, dwells in you standing firm in the faith, then you have the grace to express that love to those backsliding by encouraging them to come to Jesus.
Seeing both good and bad things happen at the early stages of my life, I’ve learned to trust God to fulfil what He has said about my life, always meticulous not to get ahead of Him. I hope you learn something from this article.
God is your Source. He made you (Psalm 139:13-14). Before releasing you as a heritage through your parents unto the world (Psalm 127:3), He knew all the battles you’d face, the hurts you’ll endure and the diverse trials you’d fall into. Let not your heart be troubled because He’ll be there to provide for and support you every time.
