God's people who are redeemed by the Lord and saved by His grace are supposed to be the most joyful people of the world, because of the unshakable hope they have in Christ.
There is no greater joy than the joy of Salvation, which is the gift received by everyone who has placed their trust in Christ alone for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
We must learn how to live by Faith, to eliminate worry and anxiety from our lives.
Philippians 4:4-8
4Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 17:22-A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. There is no wisdom apart from God. All wisdom comes from Him. If you do not have God, you do not have wisdom, even if the world calls you intelligent. Bible is a wisdom book. God speaks straight to your spirit through His written word. Read it before you read any news or social media messages.
Proverbs 3:7-8-Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Proverbs 4:20-22-My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings.
Jesus said that love has to be demonstrated by obedience rather than just words.
Jesus himself demonstrated His love for us by the greatest sacrifice on the cross, not in just words.
A prosperous soul is a soul filled with God’s truth and has consistent open communication with God all the time. To be filled with the Holy Spirit more and more, you must seek and grow in God’s truth and knowledge of the Word of God every single day.
Prayer must be centred on God’s will for us, rather than our own wish. A prosperous soul is a soul filled with God’s presence and nourishes itself with unchanging joy and peace that comes from Christ alone.
Unwanted anxiety, fear, doubt and worry are the result of a lack of trust in God. These lies sicken the soul. Hope and trust in God make your soul prosperous.
God’s glory should be the aim of every Christian, in every single activity that we do.
We must live with the intent of bringing glory to God in the workplace, at the vacation, while travelling, while teaching, while in a public place, while in your room, while in the Church and while in the market.
Wherever we are, we must focus to be God pleasers and not people pleasers.
It is essential to speak words with wisdom. We cannot yell at a co-worker in the workplace on one day for trivial reasons and preach the gospel to them the next day.
Proverbs 16:24-Pleasant words [are as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Acknowledging God’s provision is one of the greatest duties of a Christian. We are alive because of God’s grace. We have all that we have because of God’s lovingkindness and mercies and not because of anything good on our part, because we are a big fat zero without God.
Colossians 4:2-Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Making the best use of time is one of the responsibilities that a Christian cannot ignore. We have limited time on earth, to fulfil our God-given responsibilities. We cannot waste our God-given time here on earth. Wisely learn and use the Biblical principles on time management, as this is essential for a good Christian living. Christ’s return is nearer than before.
Ephesians 5:16-Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Colossians 4:5-Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Psalms 90:12-So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.
