Christian Believers – Steps 2 Success with Spiritual Solutions

Recently I watched four Instagram reels on disobeying God, but the word Disobedience was skillfully avoided in the presentations. It is better for us to know the Plain Truth than to lose our reward of Eternal life because we never obeyed God.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you…” (Hosea 4:6). We cannot depend on social media, sermons, and podcasts to save our souls.

Worship God everyday through prayer and careful study of the Scriptures. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the wisdom and discernment to understand the depth of God’s Transforming Word.

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him” (John 8:29). Jesus is our perfect example of obedience to God. In The Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “…nevertheless, not my will but Your will be done.”

Our Savior’s death on Calvary’s Cross reveals that He loved God, the Father more than He loved Himself. Obedience to God in every aspect of our lives reveals that our hearts are converted, and filled with more love for God than for ourselves.

If we willingly obey our employer’s policies because we are rewarded with keeping our jobs and receiving our salary, how much more emphasis should we place on our destiny of eternal life?

Disobedience to God’s Sovereign Authority always brings devastating consequences to our lives. Not only do we lose our desire to please God, but we pray calculated prayers filled with request for blessings instead of praying for Spiritual transformation.

“And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” (Mark 8:36). From studying the Book of Revelation, we know this Earth is our temporary home. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to be content with His blessings.

Why are we chasing the raggedy things of this Earth, and entering into relationships with individuals who do not desire the Forever reward Jesus has promised us?

Eternal Life Is the Reward for Faithful Obedience to God

The only thing we can take with us to Heaven is a “Righteous character” that must be developed in our earthly lives through daily surrender, faith, and obedience to God. We honor and reverence God through the worship of obedience to His plans for us.

From our daily prayer of submission to Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, and our Mediator, we invite the Holy Spirit to transform our unrighteous minds, characters, and personalities daily into the likeness of Christ’s Righteous Character.

The spiritual journey is a tumultuous experience, yet, if we seek God’s will, and willingly obey His directives, day by day, the blood of Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

We are never alone in our walk with Jesus. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Obedience allows the Holy Spirit to give us Christ’s Supernatural Strength to overcome the internal conflict of pursuing our desires, and the external opposition of temptations.

Proclaim out loud everyday, “I am going to heaven!” Amen!

For the faithful, Jesus is waiting to reward us with our golden crowns, and Eternal Life in the New Heaven and New Earth. Hallelujah and Amen!

“However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—’ ” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Yes and Amen!

Lord God, we as forgiveness for disobedience, and pray to have a heart that loves You, filled with steadfast faith and obedience. We ask you to reveal the behaviors and habits that prevent us from being aligned with Your perfect will and plans. It is our desire to receive Eternal Life. In Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray, Amen.

Our Daily Walk with Christ Devotional – December 17, 2024

In Colossians, Chapter 1, verses 9-14, the Apostle Paul expresses his prayer for the members of the Colossae Church. The members faced many challenges including “The pressure to conform to the religious beliefs and practices of their Jewish and pagan neighbors and false teachers who defamed the deity of Christ. Still, Paul persevered in his declaration that Jesus alone is Supreme and Sufficient.”

“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” —Ephesians 6:18, NIV

The spiritually uplifting and beautiful prayer reminds us to redirect our focus from ourselves to praying for other [suffering] believers globally. By praying for our brothers and sisters, we grow in love and compassion and receive much-needed blessings from God. In the turbulence of these perilous times, every believer desperately needs the Divine blessings of an increase in faith, along with peace, joy, wisdom, and Jesus’ strength.

We may never meet the people, we are praying for in our present lives, but still lifting others in prayer before the Throne of Grace is a plea for God to intercede and a catalyst for our spiritual growth. Not only does Intercessory prayer change our perception [we begin to see life through spiritual eyes], but it also invites the Holy Spirit to transform our naturally selfish hearts into a Christ-like heart filled with the Fruit of the Spirit.

“You pray for me, I pray for you, and watch God change things.”

Lord God, we pray for every believer throughout this world to receive the blessing of Your gift of inner peace as they face external opposition from wars, as well as civil, political, and social unrest. We ask for an increase of faith and spiritual strength in the Christian Global Community, especially for those who are suffering from persecution because they accepted you as their personal Savior. Help us to look outside of ourselves and faithfully trust You when facing personal hardships, the dilemmas of unforeseen change, fears, and grief. Jesus, we desperately need Your Divine Strength to keep persevering until You come again. We thank You and ask this prayer of Intercession in the Merciful Name of Jesus, Amen.
