GLOW WITH GOD'S SUFFICIENCY

In our world today, there maybe times when it seems like we don't have enough strength, wisdom or resources to overcome the trials that we encounter along our way to heaven. At such times as Christians, it is expected that we do not forget that we are not alone. Even in our struggles, Jesus Christ has assured us that "he is with us always even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20). The LORD himself assures us of God's sufficiency in all things, and as we lean on Him, we can glow with His sufficiency in every aspect of our lives.


In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the apostle Paul writes, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." This powerful verse serves as an ointment of grace that greases the faith of all who remembers that even in times of weaknesses, God's grace is more than enough to sustain us. When we feel incapacitated or experience inadequate zest for the journey ahead, we can rest on the knowledge that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. We must however not allow this truth that fills with courage and confidence to evaporate from our hearts and minds, knowing that we can rely on God's sufficiency to carry us through every trial.


Another comforting promise of God's sufficiency can be found in Philippians 4:19, which declares, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This promise was deliberately made by God to furnish us with the understanding of his desire not only to meet our needs but to also make us know that he is willing to help us glow and grow exceptionally. As we trust in Him, we can be assured that He will supply everything that pertains to life and godliness, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. This inspiring assurance should should serve as a guide for us to approach each day with a sense of hope and expectation, knowing that we serve a God who abundantly provides for His children.


Furthermore, in Psalm 23:1, King David proclaims while timelessly declaring, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Even as economist say human want are insatiable, this statement of his negates that acertion by convincingly promoting God as the eradicator of the want of all those who permit Him to shepherd their lives. As our Shepherd, God cares for our every need, guiding us and protecting us through the valleys and on the mountain tops of every situation and circumstance we find ourselves. We can glow in God's sufficiency when we trust in His role as our Shepherd and allow Him to lead us beside still waters with the sole aim of restoring our souls.


As we reflect and set our minds on these powerful promises of God, let us be reminded that God's sufficiency is not limited to our physical needs alone. His sufficiency extends to every area of our lives, including our emotional well-being, relationships, and spiritual growth. When we rely on His sufficiency, we can experience his true peace which brings along with itself contentment and utmost satisfaction, knowing that we are complete in Him.


In conclusion, as Christians, we have the privilege of glowing with God's sufficiency that makes every challenge in the world more surmountable. Regardless of our circumstances, we can rest in the knowledge that His grace is sufficient, His provision is abundantly made available, and the love in His shepherding fold is unavoidably nourishing. Dare to surrender the control of your life into the arms of this good shepherd Jesus Christ if you have not yet done so. As we meditate on these truths and apply them to our daily lives, may we glow with the radiance of God's sufficiency serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration to those around us, in Jesus Name, Amen. May we always remember that in Christ, we will never lack anything that will keep us focused on our heavenly home. May His sufficiency empower us to navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "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." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
