God gives a man grace around the area of his assignment.
Don't build spiritual stamina outside the area of your assignment. You'll waste spiritual resources and ultimately waste your time and be rewardless on the day of judgement.
Many believers do not actually desire JESUS as their treasure. They desire JESUS as their advantage.
The distinction is important. One man follows CHRIST because he has seen HIS beauty. Another follows CHRIST because he believes CHRIST can improve his circumstances. The first seeks GOD. The second seeks himself through GOD.
Hello dear, my name is Great Monday. I am Christian.
I want you to know that, I will not give you on you. No matter what you're going through, I'll not write you off.
It has pleased the Lord to send me help, who am I to refuse the gift of God, that makes rich and adds no sorrow.
The journey ahead can't be done just by myself. The weight of my destiny is too heavy for just me to carry, so I appreciate God for this Gift.
There are seasons where GOD preserves a man by reducing what he has access to.
Certain doors will close. Certain associations will fade. Certain spaces will suddenly become inaccessible.
And if discernment is absent, a man will call warfare what is actually preservation.
Because sometimes, the mercy of GOD is revealed through limitation.
So on that day, do not struggle to reopen what GOD has intentionally removed.
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!
Let the "Esthers" fast and pray but let them also risk their lives and speak to the King.
God's generals who do "opening prayers" at political rallies and palaces should at least be loud about the bloodshed in the land.
However, if they are too afraid of losing the King's favor, they shouldn't expect their fasting and prayer to have much impact.
The goal is to be like Jesus.
That is, to live to fulfill the Father's will.
So all of us in our unique coats, expressing the beauty of God powered by the holy Ghost in different/same areas of life.

If the story is true, many believers will immediately celebrate it as a victory because a man refused money in order to publicly maintain allegiance to CHRIST. On the surface, that appears noble but a man shouting “JESUS” publicly is not automatically proof that CHRIST has been formed within him.
Many believers today are so starved for visible loyalty to JESUS in public spaces that they sometimes celebrate symbols while ignoring the main substance.
A man can reject money and still remain unbroken. A man can publicly defend JESUS and still privately live contrary to HIM. A man can become a Christian icon online while remaining spiritually immature, unsubmitted, fleshly, or even deeply compromised.
My concern is not whether he said “no” to money. The concern is how believers are now creating a culture where any public mention of JESUS automatically means JESUS is winning.
That is how celebrity Christianity is born.
If this becomes another viral Christian celebration, then the church may actually lose in the long term because: It is not the standard.
There is also another danger: we may unintentionally teach young believers that Christianity is mainly about public defense of JESUS rather than a Private Life with HIM.
Even devils publicly acknowledged CHRIST: The real question is not: “Did he refuse money?”
The real question is: “Is CHRIST truly being formed in him?”
Because the greatest victory is not that a man shouted JESUS online.
The greatest victory is when JESUS gains a Man.
We must be careful not to become so desperate for representation that it starts celebrating fragments as fullness.
Refusing money may be admirable. But it is not worth celebrating as christians we know what it means for JESUS To win.
Ministry is a tool Jesus uses to get closer to His people. He identifies with it for maturing the saints to His taste.
Many are building empires for themselves!!!
STUDY: Eph 4:7-16
Many of us will fail to understand the true purpose of ministry. I see many do things to ensure those who stay under them are obedient to the course of the ministry. No be so oo!
