“I press toward the…upward call of God.” Php 3:14 NKJV
To fulfill God’s will for your life, you must do these
(1) Move to a higher level of faith (See Ro 1:17). Before David killed Goliath, he first had to kill a lion and a bear. And today we’re contending with issues that require us to trust God in a greater way.
(2) Seek God’s guidance about each situation that arises (See Pr 3:6). His promise is: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye” (Ps 32:8 NKJV).
(3) Get into proper spiritual alignment. God is aligning His people and putting together those who will stand as one in the day of battle. It’s imperative to know who you can trust to go into battle with you, and you only discover such people in times of testing (See Jos 8:1).
(4) Know God’s will for your life. God doesn’t play hide-and-seek with His will. It’s only as you spend time with Him that you discover it (See Ps 143:10). And when you do that, you thrive.
(5) Fight, using God’s Word. The God-breathed words found in Scripture are your strength in times of difficulty and testing. Jesus used Scripture to put Satan to flight (See Mt 4), and the weapon of God’s Word still works today.
(6) Don’t be unduly introspective. Only the Holy Spirit has the ability to search and know our hearts and minds (See Jn 16:8-15). And when God is ready to reveal areas that need correction, He will. Until then, keep moving forward in faith.
(7) Guard your mind. Make it a walled city that refuses entry to negative thoughts and harmful influences (See Pr 4:23 GNT).
To grow in any facet of life , you have to make bold decisions and choose to be different.It doesn’t matter what everyone else around you think or believe your hunger for spiritual growth must push you to take action.
Some sacrifices have to be made, and people will name you awkward and unorthodox but your appetite to serve God must propel you to revise how you dress, worship, and how many times you pray a day. It’s no longer about the ideal but your desire for a relationship with God.
We are summoned to be of service to God, his objectives and ideas are our priority. What’s normal in his eyes can be unfamiliar to our equivalents but we follow through with his instructions, when he says do not touch, we do not touch either. When he moves we move. The problem is when people try to mix worldly thinking with Godly thinking. What God says we should eliminate in our midst we have to destroy it.
God is looking for obedience, yes people who are obedient to his exact words. People who only use their mouths to confess the absolute truth about him. People with a clear conscience, have guarded their thoughts and ensured that the world philosophies haven’t diluted the absolute truth. To move to a higher ground, low level thinking and mentalities need to be eradicated from our midst.
Make the important decision today to rededicate your life to God. Share this message with your friends.
