Why You Should Be Steadfast And Immovable In Your Walk With God

 

Have you ever felt like quitting God? Or have you ever thought of taking a break from your service unto God? This is the case with some believers. But, the truth is that it’s not the Lord’s will for you to draw back. And God doesn’t take pleasure in those who draw back from the faith. So, this post tells why you should be steadfast and immovable in your walk with God.

 

Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him – Hebrews 10:38 (NKJV).

 

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord – I Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV).

 

Introduction

Challenges, persecution, and lust of the flesh are the main reasons people think of quitting Christ.  They get so overwhelmed by these that they desire a break even if it’s for a short period. However, drawing back for whatever reason, even for a short time, is to break the hedge, and surely the serpent will bite. This is because, quitting God is to depart from His divine covering, and it’s not a good decision. Therefore, it’s important that you remain steadfast and immovable in your walk with God.

 

Why You Should Be Steadfast And Immovable In Your Walk With God

1. To secure God’s pleasure in you

If God is for you, no man will rise against you. But, what happens when God is not for you? Surely, everything will be against you, no matter what the enemy promises you. This is because the devil’s work is to kill, steal and destroy. And whatever he gives you, you will repay in multiple forms. Now, the Lord said that if anyone draws back from faith, He will not have pleasure in Him. And when God withdraws from you, His blessings and covering go with Him. Truly, no matter the negative thing that is happening to you or around you, you’re better off in Christ. Surely, outside Christ, you will have crisis. Read more...

Examine Yourself and See That You're in The Faith

 

How prepared are you for this year? This year surely will be great, so we should expect nothing less than greatness. Therefore, engage diligence in whatever you're doing, expecting God to crown your efforts with great results. However, you must be diligent too in your walk with God. This post encourages you to examine yourself and see that you're in the faith.

 

“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”

- 2 Corinthians 13:5 (NKJV).

Introduction

It's important that you put in your best and work hard this year. However, in all you do, do it as unto the Lord. This is because your work, ambition, and activities are to occupy you till Christ comes. Therefore, while we engage in fruitful and honoring activities, we must not neglect the most important thing in life: our walk with God.

Truly, we're pilgrims on earth as Jacob acknowledged in Genesis 47:9. However, our walk with God here on earth determines where we will go, and our rewards after this life. And this is the truth and it will never be changed.

Examine Yourself

Therefore, I charge you to examine yourself and see that you're in the faith. This you should do on a daily basis because Christ will come as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2). So, you must always be prepared in spite of what is happening in the world.

Thus, as you plan for success and greatness this year, also plan for your spiritual growth. So, build up your spiritual life and increase your service unto the Lord. This is what counts for you in heaven. For all other activities are for you to occupy till Jesus comes. Therefore, pay more attention to your walk with God. Read more...

 

 

 

Walk With God-Solution To Marriage Crisis

Many marriages are not what God ordained it to be. Marriage is to give peace and joy to the couple and glory to God. However in recent times, the rate of marriage failure has greatly increased. But there is solution to this marriage crisis and that is a walk with God!

Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously; yet she is your companion and your wife by covenant – Malachi 2:14 (NKJV)

God initiated marriage in the first place with Adam and Eve and is a witness between you and your spouse. He laid down rules and regulations on how to have joy and peace in your marriage – Ephesians 5:21-31. These rules are the pillars for success in marriage.

Therefore to successfully deal with issues in your marriage, you need to purely adhere to God’s principles. And you can only appreciate these principles when you retrace your steps back to God. Your walk with God will reveal to you the areas of your marriage you need to address and God will give you the wisdom on how to address them.

Many times people tend to blame their spouses for the problems they are facing but they never consider that they may be the main cause of the problem. When you walk with God, He will always point out to you where you are going wrong and what to do to correct it. He speaks to us through our conscience and His word (the bible)

Some of the issues that cause problems in homes include lack of attention, communication breakdown, financial problems, pride etc. These are largely wisdom problems and can be dealt with when you apply the wisdom from God’s word. God’s wisdom is higher than man’s wisdom. Man’s wisdom is selfish but God’s wisdom is full of love. Read more...
