Many believers worry why their prayers for promotion or increase have not been answered. They wonder why they remain in the same level in their finances or business. The key lies in faithfulness and diligence.
Living out our faith involves more than just attending church or reading the Bible. It means embodying the principles and values taught by Christ in every aspect of our lives. For instance, by choosing to love and forgive
The ways of God are perfect and excellent, they are far above the thinking and patterns of this world. And when we got born again, He invited us to learn His ways and walk in them by the help of His Spirit.
Consequences are results of our decisions. For every action of obedience our disobedience to Gods commandment, there are real consequences – Blessings or a curse. (Deut. 28:1,15). It is therefore wisdom to consider the spiritual consequence of your actions which may be seen or unseen.
You cannot claim to have your heart with Jesus when your treasures have not followed suit. The Bibles says a mans heart would always be where his treasures are (Matt 6:21). In other words, to have my heart with Jesus, I must transport my treasures into Him.
Something very significant is to be learnt from our opening text regarding our conduct and manner of approach to things in the House of God.
In our opening text today, we find the Prophet Elijah in a state of exhaustion and despair after a great victory over the Prophets of Baal. God’s response to Elijah’s despair was both compassionate and practical as He sent an angel to provide food and shelter encouraging him to eat and rest.
One important aspect of Christianity is service. Just as we see in our opening text and contrary to what we would expect, Jesus Christ came to this world to serve and not to be served. His life of service sets a standard for us to follow in our daily lives.
God’s promise to always lead you in the right path is fulfilled in His giving of His precious spirit; the Holy Spirit. He sent you the Holy Spirit, to comfort, strengthen and teach you, especially in moments of crisis or despair. The words of todays opening scripture reveals this amazing truth; the help you need is right with YOU!
When you pray, you acknowledge that you cannot navigate life on your own. Conversely, a lack of prayer reveals a different attitude. If you neglect to pray, it may indicate that you believe you can handle life’s challenges perfectly. This also shows that you do not trust God enough to fully handle your life.
