THINK LIKE GOD

"Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and we shall walk before My anointed forever."    1 Samuel 2:35

The children of God hear and practice His Word. Therefore, they proceed with dignity in their hearts and their minds are infused with the Father's wisdom.

ATHLETIC SACRIFICE

"And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules."    2 Timothy 2:5

Awards are only given to winners. But they must burn through many hours of the day practicing and eating appropriately  They must also abstain from all types of addictions, so that their physical health is not compromised. All this means sacrifice. Sacrifice for what? To win a gold medal and worldwide recognition. 
If the momentary glory of this world  requires sacrifice, imagine the eternal glory of salvation? Do you think it will be easier to attain than the glory of this world?

LACK NO OIL

"Let your garments always be white, and let your head lack no Oil."Ecclesiates 9:8

The Holy Spirit is the Oil the Lord Jesus sent to His followers. What else can we say about such care? What words can we use to express the greatness of His presence? How can we explain to the world that He is His Son Jesus' Substitute?
Only those who have an experience with Him can truly value His importance!

DESCENDANTS OF FAITH

"Therefore know that only those who are of the faith are sons of Abraham."    Galatians 3:7

Through Abraham, God showed the world how to practice a faith that is living, objective and brings results. The faith of being obedient or obedience by faith. It is beyond words, it is an act. God doesn't require anything beyond what we are able to offer Him. Everything He asked, Abraham obeyed. This is why He considered him righteous.

A LIVING SACRIFICE

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service."      Romans 12:1

Contradicting the inclinations of the heart and turning down what this world has to offer is a daily exercise that true disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ must do. This includes spiritual offerings, living sacrifices to the Lord God. In return, He fulfills the desires of our heart.

GOES BEFORE YOU

"And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."Deuteronomy 31:8

The closeness of God is for those who fear Him. Those who fear Him, hear and practice His Word. They are assured of His safety, protection and much more than you can ever see or feel. 
Nothing happens by chance when you have a commitment with God.

WHO HAS BELIEVED

"Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"             John 12:38

You should be humble like a child, and at the same time, strong and courageous to confess your faith. By doing this, God will honor you with His Spirit, so that you can face your enemies and defeat them for His eternal glory.
