In life, there are important things and there are
less important things. However, I have seen that majority of us major in minor
things and we minor in major things. Apostle Paul said in Phil 3:13 that, “but this
one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are before.” In order words he was saying not minding
the unimportant things, he focused on the important ones.
It is very important to wash your car but a clean
car with no gas in it is as useless as having no car at least for that moment. As
believers, there are very important things that if we focus on, they help fix
other less important things. I call it the ABC system. The A part says ABSTAIN
from iniquities. It could be lying, fornication, robbery (not paying tithes and
offerings) or anything that connotes iniquity. It is very important to abstain
from iniquities if not we will keep battling with other issues like sickness, unanswered
prayers, lack, disappointment, etc because the way of the ungodly shall perish
(Psa 1:6b).
BELIEVE THE WORD of God. We are called believers because
we are products of a belief system. The scripture says, “For verily I say unto
you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith.” (Mark 11:23) No prayer gets answered without believing and most times
you can only believe after reading. So be a word addict.
And you must CULTIVATE a relationship with the Holy
Spirit. You are a spirit being and without the help of the Holy Spirit, you
will find it hard performing your role on earth. Acts 1:8a says, “But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” Until you are
filled with the Holy Ghost, you remain powerless.
Remain blessed!
