GOD IS THE ONE WORKING IN YOU

 "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." Philippians 2:13 (NIV)


God is within you, and when He does anything on this earth, He does it through you. It is a great honor that God has given to humanity to be his coworker.

Therefore, the abilities you have, whether intellectual or any kind of knowledge, along with blessings, are gifts from God to enable you to fulfill His good purpose. So, when God places a certain ability in you, He works through you by giving you the desire or idea to do something.

When the Word of God says, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act..." it means that when you feel the urge to do something that builds God's kingdom or anything beneficial to the community, know that this inspiration comes from God.

Satan does not want humanity to be prosperous or to live in peace; he wants us to live in poverty and suffering all the time. So, when you have an idea that will uplift your economy, as well as that of your family or the community at large, know that it is God in you working through you.

Many people think that God will only give you ideas related to church matters or spiritual things, while they see matters of economic and social well-being as the efforts of humans alone. This notion is not true.

God is concerned with all our needs. Therefore, He uses you to provide for His people's needs by giving you the desire to do those works. He also gives you the ability to carry them out. So, if you have an idea or goal to do something like a business or you want to produce a certain product or provide a service to people, first believe that it is from God, then ask Him to enable you to accomplish it.

Prayer: Oh, LORD, I pray for all my visions and ask You to enable and prosper me to do what You have placed in my heart.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
