Because the reality is, we can’t love the things of the world... society... culture and then you know be... you know how I was, I was guilty–Monday to Saturday I was doing whatever I wanted to do. Then come Sunday... you are worthy to be praised. it’s like... pick a side Sis. But wait! The good news is God doesn’t actually hold it against us even if we are guilty of only going to Him when we need something. In this video, I have come to encourage you. If you are the young woman who has been wishy-washy with her faith for a long time and living that lukewarm life or maybe you’d like to be a good Christian and you just have no idea when to start.
If that’s you, this video is for you so keep on watching. Before I forget, for practical tips that will empower you as a young women to live your best life in Christ and for much more engaging lifestyle content, make sure you hit the bell so this Christian lifestyle is a battle! It can be so hard to get out of the flesh and live completely for God.
We often get demotivated or discouraged because we don’t know the Word, we don’t know Gods. Word enough or to be honest maybe the Bible just seems are boring. And you’re just thinking what is this? Or maybe it just seems unapproachable and that’s why a lot of us battle with our pursuit of God and we battle with being lukewarm in our faith. Just in case you haven’t watched the video where I share practical Bible study tips and all about seeking God, make sure you watch that overcoming the battle of being lukewarm in our faith, there are some things that we can do.
We can do Bible devotions, praise and worship prayer, journaling and asking God for the desire to seek Him. Collectively, these things do add up. Let me give you an analogy, right. Let’s think about a full face of makeup. In order to get this finished look you don’t just have the eyebrows. You don’t just have the lipstick.
My sister, do you not know that you’re an overcomer? Do you not know that the Bible tells us that we are victorious through Christ Jesus? We have to put in the work and we just have to trust that collectively doing these things are going to contribute to the bigger picture; to the finished look as I just shared in that analogy. So I just really want to encourage you to keep on going and not stop. None of this stop-start, stop-start, stop-start...What’s that dance move called... that just came to my mind. We can’t be doing that. Honestly, we really cannot. And I just want to encourage you... Another reason what just came to my mind now
Thank you Holy spirit... we just need to keep on going! It’s the fact that before you know it, you’re actually going to be amazed at your own growth. In the moment it’s like Ah it’s sort of a slow process... like you’re climbing and climbing.
But here’s the thing... before you know it, you’re gonna be like whoa, who is this? I mean, I’m a living testimony The thing about this journey is the fact that God can only bring to remembrance what you’ve actually read. So for example, if you’re in a tough situation and you need to remind yourself of the Word and its Gods Word that’s gonna get you through the situation... if you haven’t read it, what Word are you going to have to get you through that situation in the first place?
God can only bring to your remembrance what you’ve read or studied And that’s all going to happen in your private time; in your personal time with God. God actually tells us in His Word to cast our cares onto Him. So that means if you are struggling right now with this battle, you can actually say to God, God I am struggling with this. Because the Bible tells us to cast your cares on to Him for He cares for us. That’s a practical example of casting your cares unto God because He cares. So really and truly, we can’t be wishy-washy.
We can’t love the things of the world... society... culture... try and do everything that cultures doing... and then you know just one-foot-in and one-foot-out. You can’t. And the reality is, you know this as well. So I’m only reminding you of what you already know to be honest. So be encouraged, it really is all about taking those intentional steps on a daily basis that’s going to empower you to overcome this battle. Because remember I said you are an overcomer. So today is the day for you to decide. Decide that you are going to be intentional with your walk with God. And you don’t have to do it alone...Get an accountability partner; do a Bible study plan with them; do a 7-day devotional; maybe Monday to Friday you say okay, you know what, lets wake up a little bit earlier and lets just pray together.
Whatever your circumstance, now is the time to start chasing fully after Gods heart. Now is the time to grow in your faith. Now is the time to get closer to God. Now is the time to grow a relationship with God. So the key to cultivating your relationship with God is spending time with Him. I really do pray that this video has encouraged you and empowered you to be intentional about seeking God.
