A GREATER GOOD

"And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me." Jeremiah 32:40

Those who accept and rely solely on God's counsel have the right to a happy and successful life. His promise is very clear and doesn't leave any room for doubtful interpretations: I will not turn away from doing them good... This promise belongs to those who sacrifice in order to keep their everlasting covenant with God.

THE SIN THAT BINDS

"He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy." Proverbs 28:13

Although we may hide our sins from everyone around us, we can never hide them from God or from the devil. The success of many Christians has been blocked because their sins have left them in debt with the devil. But when you confess and forsake your sins, Jesus forgives you and opens up the door that leads to prosperity.

PRIDE

"A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor." Proverbs 29:23

Arrogance is the biggest enemy of those who have pride. Sooner or later, it will destroy them. Those who are wise will flee from arrogance, even if that means they must humble themselves. 

DISCIPLINE

"Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding." Proverbs 15:32

The purpose of discipline is not to humiliate. Although it may be somewhat painful at times, it's for our own good.
In one way or another, everyone gets corrected at some point. This correction may come from God, from other humans or from life itself. But, it will never come from the devil. 
Therefore, blessed are the meek who accept discipline, because it is a Divine tool that's necessary for salvation.

RIGHT HAND

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

It is only possible to live in a violent, unrighteous world and subject yourself to the persecutions of the enemies of the cross if you have the direction, anointing and protection of the Holy Spirit. Only He can maintain the Christian firm in the faith and walking in the path to salvation. It is impossible to remain saved without His presence.

GOD TESTS US

"...for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul." Deuteronomy 13:3

The Lord knows us better than anyone else. When He tests us, He wants us to get to know ourselves better too. Sacrifice is the best way for us to test our faith in His Word.

THE GREATEST VICTORY

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith."1 John 5:4

The Lord Jesus overcame the devil and the world because He was born of the Spirit of God. Being a member of a Christian church, remaining faithful to your vows and attending Sunday service doesn't necessarily mean that you are born of God. What characterizes those who are born of God is their initiative to live apart from sin, which is the greatest victory of those who are truly born of the Spirit.
