Philippians 4:9 AMP
The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you.
Beloved,
There are things that must happen for you daily as well as things you must practice daily if you will have the kind of result you seek. Your strength is in your daily routine and practices because you are a product of your daily practices. You become what you do daily. Pay close attention to the daily routines of successful people around you, pay close attention to their daily routines as therein lies the secrets to their successes. Do not only be excited about people’s results, you need to find out what is producing such results. That is your wisdom.
In this series, we will be looking at some forces that must always be at work in the life of a believer as well as some practices that should be daily routine. When these things are present, they make for effective living. Today, we start out by looking at what I call daily life ingredients.
Some daily life ingredients:
- You must breathe in the breath of God every day, Job 32:8. This breath is the life of Jesus you are living. This breath is also the inspiration of the Almighty. Be daily inspired by the Holy Spirit. Everyday be sure that you are still in Christ. You can very well know whether you are in Christ or not. This examination must be done daily. Pray and declare over yourself the life of Christ and the breath and inspiration of the Almighty daily. No one breathe once in a while and keep on living. In the same way, you need the breath of God always.
- Acquire the mercies of God daily, Lamentations 3:23. The mercies of God are new every morning, so you need the newness of God’s mercy daily. God’s mercy endures, meaning when you activate and appropriate it to your life’s situations, it can wear the devil out. God took away his mercy from Saul in the Bible and he became miserable. May you never be without the daily mercies of God. When you get to a point and you don’t know what to pray for again and you have no inspiration to even speak in tongues, turn to God and just keep asking Him to have mercy on you.
- Seek the strength of God daily, Psalm 110:3 TLB. You need the strength of God for each new day. Even if you are weak and tired at the end of a day, you should awake in the morning with new strength. If you are not waking up with renewed strength, there may be a medical issue you need to address. You must also seek spiritual help.
Next time, we will look at some more life ingredients needed daily for an effective life.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
