Beloved, these are the last days and whether you like it or not statues are being raised everyday, even in our local church assembly. Idols are formed and we bow because we are either too afraid or too deceived. And the interesting things is its gonna get worse. As we draw near to the return of Jesus we will see more idols and many people will bow. Will you be among the bowers or the refusers?
I have never read of any man of courage that wasn’t given to prayer. Moses, Daniel, Joshua. Abraham, Jacob, The Apostles, my mother, etc. All of them were people of prayer; running to God was their default setting. But none of them did it just to get what they wanted, they were His friends
Knowing the truth in God’s word will give you the necessary capacity to overcome the tricks of the devil. The Bible says that we should not be ignorant of the wiles of the enemy. He has a lot of wiles, a lot of strategies, and tricks. Through the word, we can discern his schemes and overcome them.
Humility is a recurring theme in Jesus’ ministry and sojourn on earth. And humility is a trait of a courageous ad faith-full person. If anyone had any reason not to be humble it was Jesus. He was God, afterall, and we didn’t even deserve His glorious presence. Yet He made Himself of no repute and came for us. That alone was enough. Yet here on earth He still walked humbly amongst us.
Today, take a moment to reflect on all Jesus had to give up to be your savior. And thank Him for it.
Courageous people know that every single thing that they do for people is done as unto the Lord. And so, they have their focus and their hearts fixed upon God. They are not expecting anything from any person. Yet this is not as easy as it sounds.
So let this be an encouragement for you. If God is asking you to stop something, even if it is a good thing, now is a good time to stop it before things get messy. Because the truth is, God loves you and He will make sure that you do not prosper in your own self-orchestrated way.
