SEEK GOD SO YOU MAY LIVE

 Amos 5:14 (NKJV) says, “Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.”


This verse teaches us that many people say “God is with me,” but their actions are far from God. They claim to know God, but their lives are full of evil. Today, the world is full of people who speak about God with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him.

Look at many celebrities and social media influencers. Some of them sing songs that promote sin—encouraging people to fornicate, drink, disobey parents, or live in rebellion. They dress and dance naked in videos, change partners like clothes, and live without fear of God. But when you read their bios or hear their interviews, they say “I believe in God” or post Bible verses. This is confusion. Their words say they know God, but their actions deny Him.

Sadly, many young people now follow this same path. They live in sin and claim that God is still with them. But God is not mocked. His Word is clear: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17 NKJV).

If you want to live—truly live—you must stop pursuing evil. You must seek what is good, what is right, what is pure. Doing evil destroys your life. When you chase after sinful things, you open yourself to pain, trouble, and even death. Why? Because God is not there to protect you.

If you truly want God to be with you as you claim, you must leave evil and pursue good. This is the only way to walk with God and to enjoy His protection, peace, and blessings.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month. God assures you that your good deeds will not be in vain, but you will reap their rewards. This is an unchanging promise—that the righteous will receive their due rewards according to what they have done. So, do not give up, because this is your month of blessings, and God is about to prove His faithfulness in your life. This month is a season of transformation and favor for you.

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...
