The anointing

“But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you…” 1 John 2:27 AMPC

When it comes to living a righteous life and making good and godly choices, you don’t need to keep asking the world, you only need to ask God.  The answer resides within– the Holy Spirit – and His answers will never lead in the wrong direction, or cause wrong choices to be made.

So, stay away from the world when it comes to making big decisions or seeking big answers.  Instead, seek God, He will never let you down.

Work for your blessings.

“… be strong, alert, and courageous… says the Lord, and work! For I am with you… My spirit stands and abides in the midst of you; fear not.” Haggai 2:4-5

We cannot claim to be God’s children, yet do nothing to obtain the promises and blessings He has in store for us.  We must work for them!! Idly standing by for the Lord’s blessing will pretty much leave you idly standing by, blessing-less; empty-handed.

As children of God’s we must be bold, courageous, alert, strong, and willing to work for our blessings.  We must move forward toward our God-given destiny and blessings every day, (your destiny is whatever hits you in the heart with a warmth and confidence; something that you can visualize and see yourself wanting and doing). Therefore, work on your relationship with the Lord every single day; move yourself away from sin; grasp to the promises that you feel so strongly in your heart; and remain hopeful and faithful through, and in, all things!  Yes, it takes work to grasp hold of God’s blessings and promises to us, but the work you do now will bring great reward, proving to be worth every ounce of energy you’ve exhumed for them.

God is good and He really, really loves you!!
