Be Not Two But One With Him

"..whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit."
1 Corinthians 6:17

Let us not be just dead branches of the living Vine, saying that we are united with Christ with just outward declaration and religious rituals. But let us be totally blended with His Spirit so that His thoughts and will become ours, drawing all nourishment from Him. Then we will manifest not our human nature but His love and power in all that we do and say.

Beware Of Men With Futile Conversations And Deeds

"Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood"
Psalm 144:11

As we seek God's favor, it is also as much important for us to plead His mercy to rescue us from those who are aliens to God, with futile conversations and fake deeds. Let us not trust or rely on them to the least, for their influence on us will be devastating.

Make His Goodness Personally Yours

"O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!"
Psalm 34:8

We are invited to taste the goodness of God that sweetens our life, eliminates all our bitterness and depression and fills us with His fullness of love, joy, peace and all His riches. Let us make His goodness and grace personally our own by totally depending on Him like parasites.

Aim To Reap Unperishable Reward

"Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
Galatians 6:8

As children of God, our every single seed i.e. ambition in life should be to please God. Everything of this world is perishable. Let our every aim whether at home, job, studies or business be to glorify God, so that in due season, though not today or tomorrow but in His time, we will reap His eternal favor. When we seek His glory, we will have a double harvest both here in this world and in eternity.

If Alive, Be Filled With His Praises

"For the grave cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth."
Isaiah 38:18

Only the dead in spirit can be callous and unresponsive to the works of God in their daily lives and their souls slowly travel down to the eternal pit, with no hope in His promises or His faithfulness. If we claim to be alive, let us acknowledge His bounty and be filled with His praises, always anticipating more favor out of His precious promises.

All I Have Is From God

.."A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven."
John 3:27

We have nothing of our own. Whatever we have is a gift to us from our heavenly Father. All our success is from Him, and we can not make things even slightly better by ourselves. No one from nowhere can exalt us (Psa.75:6). It is God who lifts our head high (Psa.3:3).

To Be Rich, Don't Seek Riches

"A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished."
Proverbs 28:20

For God to make us prosperous, we should never seek after riches but seek God (Mat.6:33) and walk in Truth (3 Jn.2,3). The Bible warns us that if we hasten after wealth, we are heading towards poverty(Pro.28:22).
