Never Outgrow Divine Instructions

-

Young man, let me welcome you to a new year. One major instruction to you today is this: never outgrow Divine Instructions. The moment you fail to seek God or refuse to obey His instructions, you are already heading toward a dangerous end. As you proceed this year, make sure God's word is your delight. Do not violate His instructions, whether they come from His word, through godly elders, or from wise counselors. You don't know the road ahead. You can't fight the battles of life by yourself. You need God all the way. Therefore, follow His counsel and allow Him to lead you. Don't be led by money. Don't be led by positions or the desire for material things. Be led by God, and never outgrow His counsel. The day a man outgrows God's word and instructions, he activates his destruction. How can you, as a young man, keep your way pure? By observing and doing all that God has told you to. You outgrow God's instructions when you refuse to obey Him, when you think obeying some parts of His instructions is enough while the rest seem irrelevant or foolish to you. Don’t be like King Saul, who outgrew God’s counsel. His disobedience activated his downfall, and he was removed from the throne. His family lost the rulership because their patriarch disregarded the instructions of God. This year, resolve to obey God to the letter. Never despise His words. Keep them close to your heart and let Him lead you. I am confident you will end well and rejoice for doing so. King David cherished the instructions of God and never outgrew them. He consistently sought leadership and guidance from God. Be like David, ask God for direction and let Him lead you. When He speaks, obey without hesitation. In His instructions lies your fulfillment.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol...

EXCUSES

-
Excuse me, man, excuses are never going to be genuine says, my philosophical friend. There is no amount of excuse that you give in not doing a thing that will be enough a substitute to doing that thing. You need to know that you have huge excuses on your path in your making process. Excuse your body will give, your desire will give, your lack of one thing or the other will give, so as not to achieve a task. Beware. Excuses will limit the height you should travel in life. Excuses present themselves as your disadvantages, your limitations, your huge boundary, or a mountain to climb. If you don't wake up and deal with every tenable and untenable excuse, you won't go far. The spy sent by Moses came back with devastating excuses that were enough to cause the people not to go on and possess their promised land. Only two stood out with different testaments. The land is filled with milk and honey but there is an obstacle that can get you stuck on the road without entering the land. The...

THE USERS AND THE ABUSERS

-
If there is a bottomless pit, there is a roofless height. Some stuff you get to go through in life is God's module in making you become his own best version of you: a man or woman with no limit. Yes, with no limit. You are in God's program. Some deep pit that you may have been buried in may seem so deep that you sink into it more by the day based on your calculation. But in God's agenda, if the pit is so deep, the height of glory is roofless. There is no plateau in and with God. Once, you have been correctly planted and you germinate well, expect God to move you up the ladder higher and higher. Once you don't deviate from the right principle in God, you can be certain that there is a roofless height of manifestation. For young people, make sure you are planted well. Don't worry if those who "use" you. Learn well, don't give up, and ultimately stay in God. Be aware of the "abusers" too. Runaway from this set of people. They won't allow you...
