Reasons to submit ideas to God

Have you ever embarked on an idea and wished later that you didn’t? Sometimes such ventures can be very costly and even deadly. The best way to avoid regrets is to submit all ideas to God. This article gives you vital reasons to surrender all ideas to God.

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” God, the Alpha and the Omega, Knows the end from the beginning. When you submit your ideas to God you avoid any unforeseen issues on the way.

Reasons to submit ideas to God

1.       Divine direction

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps - Proverbs 16:9 (KJV). You enjoy divine guidance when you submit your plans to God. God will order your footsteps aright and help you not to go on a wasteful or disastrous journey.

2.       Provision

And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing – Luke 22:35. When your ideas are in agreement with God’s plan for you, He supplies all that is needed for the ideas to succeed.

3.       Divine backup

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass – Psalm 37:5 (KJV). When King David submitted his battle plans to God, God not only gave him directions but also helped him, (1 Samuel 23:4). Any idea submitted to God enjoys God’s backing. Read more...

7. Provision – Submission to God commands provision from Him. God is committed to supplying all your needs when you totally yield to Him. Matthew 6:31-33 (KJV) – “Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

8. Good health – Sickness and diseases are not from God. When you submit to God He takes them away from you. Exodus 23:25 –“You shall serve the Lord your God; He shall bless your bread and water, and I will take sickness from your midst.” Read more

Why Submission to God Part 1

Hi. Jesus loves you

Why should you submit to God? What would you gain by submitting to God? There are two forces operating on earth – the good and the bad. And whichever force you submit to controls your life, (Romans 6:16). This article gives reasons why submission to God is a better choice.

We are creatures of choices and our choices determine our today and tomorrow. Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV) says, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live:”

God is associated with good and life. When you choose God, you choose good and life. Many people think that to submit to God is to submit to bondage and misery, but the case is the very opposite. Submission to God offers freedom and happiness. What else?

Reasons to submit to God

1. Empowerment – God certainly is far higher than the devil and submitting to God is to be empowered to operate in the same level with God. Daniel 11:32 (KJV) says, “...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”
2. Success – God is a God of success. When you yield to God you become exposed to God’s kind of success. Joshua 1:8 (AMP) – “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success” Read more...

Is The Bible a Necessary Part of a Relationship With God

The question is “does one really need the bible to walk with God?” it can also be asked this way, “what does a relationship with God entail?” To be able to answer the question one has to understand what the bible is. An understanding of what the bible is will determine whether it is a necessary part of a relationship with God. 

The bible is the word of God. It is the manual from the creator to the created on how to live successfully with joy and peace on earth created by Him. It is the book that describes the nature of God, His ways and acts to the people made in His own image. The bible is a complete biography of God and His relationship with Man. It tells of His supremacy and love for mankind.

Paul describes the bible as follows in 2 Timothy 3:16, “All scripture (the bible – emphasis mine) is given by the inspiration OF God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (KJV)

Therefore, the bible is a necessary part of a relationship with God. Just like you can’t operate a new machine unknown to you without the manual so also you cannot relate with God without the bible. The bible answers any question you will ever have. It gives solution to any challenge you will ever be faced with. It is able to do these because they are the words of God who is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. Read more...

The Will Of God For the Wicked

What is the will of God for sinners? Many times people think they know the will of God concerning certain things when they are actually ignorant of it. But God has written His will concerning EVERY issue in His word. This article is about God’s will for the wicked.

The bible (the word of God) is full of God’s mind for everything. A study of the bible reveals the will of God for any sinner. And ignorance has made some people to condemn unbelievers. And some of the wicked, not being aware of God’s strong desire for them, have tagged themselves unqualified for God’s kingdom. 

 God’s will for the wicked is that they be saved. Let’s look at 2 passages on God’s will for sinners:

·         Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) - Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

·         Mathew 18:12-14 (KJV) - How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. (Emphasis is mine) Read more..

 

How To Enjoy The Best of God

Are you at the verge of deciding for Jesus but you are wondering what life in Christ holds for you? Or are you a Christian believer but you think that an unbeliever enjoys a more successful life than you do? God has not called you to seek Him in vain. This article is to tell you how to enjoy the best of God.

“I have not spoken in secret, in a corner of the land of darkness; I did not call the descendants of Jacob [to a fruitless service], saying, Seek Me for nothing [but I promised them a just reward]. I, the Lord, speak righteousness (the truth--trustworthy, straightforward correspondence between deeds and words); I declare things that are right.” Isaiah 45:19 (AMP)

God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, (Hebrews 11:6). He is not a user of men. As a covenant keeping God (Psalm 89:34), He fulfils His own part of the agreement when we fulfil our own part. God the creator of the universe, the only wise God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children, (Psalm 35:27).

Although, God wants His people to enjoy the best of God, many of us are far from doing so. As children of God we are supposed to be ahead all the time, (Deuteronomy 28:13). We are destined to enjoy a more successful life.

There are two major things we need to observe to continually enjoy God’s best. These are:

1.       Serve God ONLY

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” Exodus 34:14 (KJV). Also, Matthew 6:24 says, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

Anything that your heart pants for more than God at any time is a god to you. Furthermore, anything that is number one on your priority list other than God is a god in your life. Read more...

What to Live For On Earth To Enjoy A Most Fulfilled Life

What are you living for? What is it in your life that when it ends your life too ends? Many people lived for different reasons that made lives miserable for them and even cut short the lives of some of them.  But there is what to live for to enjoy a fulfilled life. You can enjoy a fruitful and long life when you live for the right reason.

As I was taking a walk in the morning, I for the first time took note of a bill board. It had written on it, “We live for superstars” and it had the pictures of three sport stars on it too. I wondered how long they would live for them. What if they fall out with the public or die early? What would they now live for?

Unfortunately people choose the wrong thing to live for. Some live for their children, careers, reputation, money, people, etc.  And if something unpleasant happens, they become devastated. Some die not too long after the incidence because they can’t cope with the loss or shame.

Is there really what to live for to enjoy life on earth to the full? Yes. It has to be durable and able to outlive you. The reason should be such that if anything goes wrong, your joy will still be intact. You should be able to share it with others. It should make you desire long life.

I know you may be wondering what can fit all these and many more. Philippians 1:21 gives us the answer. It says, “For me to live is Christ...” Jesus Christ is what to live for to enjoy a most fulfilled life on earth. When you have Jesus, you have everything: joy, peace, long life, prosperity, etc.  Having Jesus does not reduce you, instead it increases you. Read more...
