The Needful Or Obvious Pt.2




Greetings brethren,
continuation from last week...
The need for us give heed and hear from Him, rather than been distracted by some obvious needs.
If we are led by obvious and neglecting the needful, how will we answer when we stand before the Almighty God, Judge of the whole world?

Looking at money influence this week;

What about if you are money led in our decisions?
That would mean, working shift after shift to make ends meet, this will give you less or inadequate time for the Word of God. It also would mean living a life without God's protection and guidance, as a result of this, you can fix one thing another broke down(Psalm 127:1-2). The question is how long will you continue this way, all your life? let's face it, is this the purpose for our creation? Working round the clock just to make end meet? I think desire more for than that. This is situations were one is overtaken by cares(obvious) of this world.
What about situation with wealthy individuals having large investments and engagements that is so demanding, you barely have time for the Word?

Please understand this, God takes no pleasure in the poverty of a believer, rather in the prosperity of his servant, Psalm 35:27. Everything his servant is going to do requires abundant supplies. But, it's going to be only on His(God) terms as the supplier, not ours. In 2 Corinthians 9:8
"... God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" it can come through the works of our hands by engaging in certain things he ask you to, or others means, he can send the raven, like in the case of Elijah, he can do it again. It all about following His leading. But, to make riches our primary objective put us in the position of the obvious; which most times are distraction from the main goal. Proverbs 23:4,
"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom." It exposes any and everyone to the assault of the enemy.

The purpose for doing anything matters to God. Ephesians 4:28,
"Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." if God leads you to business or career where you earn fat, you should not be afraid to use it on what He wants you to. Not so you can be poor, this action is what connects you and I to the blessing, as a result God becomes the source. I mean overtaking order of blessing, Deutoromony 28:2. It is the blessing that make rich and add no sorrow with it, Proverbs 10:22.

Too many destinies have been trapped and caged by these errors, it time to change.
It only begins with a decision.

Let God lead you through this path of life, it comes mainly by spending adequate time with Him. That's when we get to know His mind on certain areas and issues, which can keep us from errors.

Stay blessed and be fruitful all through the week, in Jesus name!

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...
