God Will Perfect That Which Concerns You.
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2: 13) KJV
When a toddler starts walking, there are some falls, stumbling, and awkward steps, but that child does not give up.
The child tries again and again.
The parents, too, don’t give up.
They cheer and remove the obstacles around the child to enable smooth walking.
Don’t be discouraged by the fumbles that you may have made.
Parents don’t give up on their children at this stage.
God has not and will not give up on you.
You may ask yourself, what have I achieved this week?
Don’t lose hope.
You can make today the best day of this week.
Honestly, look at what has been hindering you and have an action plan to correct it.
Yes, your goal and dreams are attainable.
Rise this day to make it your best!
Application for the Christian life:
God will guide you through life.
He will help and sustain you.
Trust Him.

Praise and Honor God
“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High.” Ps. 92:1. (KJV).
Praise, Glory, and Honor to God.
That is easy to say.
What prevents You from Doing this All the time?
You Know it is a good thing to do?
Did you notice the good things God has done for you?
He helped you through many situations.
Sometimes You ask: ” Why is my life so complicated?
God can give me everything.
Why is He not?
Do you watch those who seem to receive everything?
They are arrogant, selfish, and loyal only to themselves.
They do not need God, or so they think.
The more challenges you have, the more you will see the power of God.
The more you see what He keeps doing for you:
The closer to Him, you will be.
How close do you want to be to God?
Application to the Christian life:
Be thankful for what God allows in your life.
No matter how you feel.
Praise and Honor Him.

A Kneeling Christian.
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20) KJV
Christians do pray, but not with enough faith to back up our prayer.
The Word of God and prayer must always be in the right proportion to have a balanced Christian life.
Prayer grasps eternity, and our knowledge of the Son of God, the true God, and an understanding of our being in Him, would assure us of our eternity with Him.
We would equally have the confidence that whatsoever we ask, our desire would not be denied. (see 1 John 5:14-20 KJV)
Let us remind ourselves that to pray.
We must continually confess our sins.
We mean the confession of a believer’s sins.
Be true to yourself before God.
Acknowledge your shortcomings.
Particularly not obeying God completely and totally.
The lost – the unsaved people of the world do not need confession.
First, they need Christ. (1 John 1:19 KJV)
Furthermore, no matter the circumstances of our situation, we must strive to pray in God’s will, even when under tremendous pressure or stress. (Matthew 6:10 KJV; James 4:3 KJV)
We must also exercise faith.
We must not only believe that God can, but that He will.
Faith as we know it believes in what we do not see.
Its reward is seeing that which we believe become a reality.
Let your confidence always be in the Lord.
Concentrate on your God-given vision.
Let your life be a commitment to His course.
Application for the Christian life:
Pray with faith.
Listen to God’s word.
Do the commandments of God.
Be in unity with God and proclaim His mercy.

Do What You Teach.
“Thou, therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou, not thyself? Thou that preaches a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Rom. 2:21. (KJV).
Do you teach people about Jesus?
What do you tell them?
Do you tell them about the miracles?
Maybe about the life of Jesus?
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38(KJV)
Do you tell them how HE lived a life without sin?
He is the only mediator between man and God.
Do you tell them about accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?
So that they can become a kingdom citizen.
Do you tell them how to live?
How to follow Jesus?
Are you following Jesus in all aspects of your life?
Can you live the way you tell other people to live?
Learn daily at His feet to properly mirror Him to others.
Application to the Christian life:
What is your personal life telling them?
Do you practice what you teach?
Let your life teach others about Christ.
Daily learn and do what you teach.

Zodiac Signs (Horoscope) is Not For You as a Child of God.
“And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.” (2 Kings 23:5) KJV
Some “Christians” still ask each other what their star sign is.
This is wrong of any true believer to ask.
Or worse still, to read up on or find out what their zodiac sign is?.
God clearly forbids his children to consult such mediums to discover their destiny or even navigate their daily lives.
Don’t look for your zodiac sign either online or in any printed material.
It is evil.
Definitely, as you can see from the above scripture, it’s not of God.
Astrology, horoscope, and psychics readings are all evil mediums that a child of God must not engage in.
“Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”
( Isaiah 47:13) KJV
These are the works of darkness that cannot save you.
God created you and designed you for a specific purpose, and becoming a born-again child of God gives you access through the Holy Spirit to be guided by God into your destiny.
“Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5(KJV)
Get to know your God-given destiny through His Word.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11) KJV
Stop looking for what will happen to your life through the “stars,”
God who created you in HIS image has the blueprint for your life.
Application for the Christian life:
God knows the future.
He reveals it through His Word.
You are destined to be Victorious
Have dominion in all your God-Given assignments.
Believe in the future based on the Word.

Remain with Jesus.
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”
John 15:4. (KJV).
Jesus invited you to be part of Him.
Is that not wonderful?
Would you and your friends be friends if you did not like one another?
You sometimes talk to your friends more than you talk to God.
Abiding in Christ means you consult Him on ALL.
You do respond to the invitation of your true friends.
Would Jesus invite you if He did not like you?
He First loved You.
All He expects of you is to remain faithful to Him.
Bear His fruit.
Are You Daily Abiding and Bearing Fruit?
Is He truly in ALL that You do?
Application to the Christian life:
Remain faithful to God
Bear fruit.
Is HE Your Everything?
Serve Him.
