A PERSON WHO IS FROM GOD

 "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother." — 1 John 3:10 (NKJV)


In today’s world, it can be difficult to discern who truly comes from God. Whether in leadership, friendships, spiritual service, or business partnerships, not everyone who enters your life is sent by God. Some people may appear righteous on the surface, but their actions reveal their true nature.

The Bible provides a clear test: A person from God practices righteousness and walks in love. If someone’s life is marked by deceit, oppression, manipulation, or dishonesty, they are not from God—no matter how successful or influential they seem.

When choosing a business partner, friend, or even a spouse, it is crucial to look beyond appearances. Ask yourself: Do they practice righteousness? Are they trustworthy and honest? Do their actions align with God’s Word? Many people can speak well and appear successful, but their character will eventually reveal their true foundation. Proverbs 10:9 says, "He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known." Do not be deceived by outward appearances—examine their actions and motives through God’s wisdom.

True Leadership Reflects God’s Character whether in political, social, or spiritual leadership. A leader from God displays justice, integrity, and love. If a leader promotes hatred, division, and injustice, they are not from God. A true leader ensures justice for all, without favoritism. He loves people and promotes unity, even among those who disagree with him. He leads with humility, fairness, and peace.

If a leader thrives on conflict, vengeance, and oppression, they do not carry God’s purpose. Jesus said, "By their fruits you will know them." (Matthew 7:16). Look at their actions, not just their words.

A true man of God remains faithful in ministry, preaches the truth, and manages church resources with integrity. If a minister, or Pastor prioritizes wealth over righteousness, discriminates against people, or sows division for personal gain, they are not from God. A genuine servant of God preaches the Gospel with sincerity and truth, uses church resources responsibly and transparently, and serves God’s people with humility and love.

Do not be misled by miracles, religious titles, or outward success. Measure their character by God’s Word.

A person who is from God will stand firm in righteousness and love. Do not align yourself with people who do not carry God’s agenda in your life. Seek wisdom, and God will guide you to the right relationships and opportunities.

Prayer: O God of righteousness and love, help me discern those who are truly from You. Grant me wisdom to recognize good and evil, so that I do not enter into agreements with those who do not serve You. Lead me by Your Spirit so that I am not swayed by emotions or persuasive words but that I may follow Your will. Thank You for giving me light to identify true people in my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
