If you think that you are successful because of how smart or brilliant you are, my question for you is, did you create your brain?

You couldn't have single-handedly create the opportunities that you had while climbing up the ladder of success.

The moment a fellow becomes proud, destruction is already waiting at the door. (Proverbs 16:18)

“Never forget about God's abundant grace, and be careful never to think that you are superior to other people. God is the one raising you and all the glory must be given Him.”

Memorise: Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)

When God sends a message through you to someone, you must be careful about the way you relay that message to the fellow.

After asking God for wisdom on how to relay the message, you might also need to advise the fellow on how to use the information that he or she now has.

If you know that the fellow may not use the prophecy correctly, and God is not compelling you to reveal the message, you may decide to just approach the person with general advice and guidance concerning that issue.

“Beloved, the gift of prophecy is to perfect the saints, not to confuse or endanger them (Ephesians 4:11-12); use it wisely!”

MEMORISE: The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 10:11)

It is not everything that God tells you that you should tell others. There are certain things God tells you that are for your ears only.

God likes to share secrets with those that are close to Him. If He tells you a secret, you should ask Him if it is okay to share it with anyone.

Prophecies must be handled with care because some people might not be able to receive, understand, and interpret what God is saying correctly.

When God tells you something about a particular fellow, you are not to say that thing in public except He specifically asks you to do so.

“Our God is not a gossip. If He gives you information about someone, it is not for you to discuss it with the whole world. Isaiah 38:1-5. If instead of telling the fellow privately, you announced the prophecy to the whole world, if God changes His mind, you will be left to defend what you had prophesied.”

MEMORISE: He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. (Proverbs 13:3)

The moment a fellow begins to explain away some of the basic principles of Christianity in the Bible, that fellow is already on the wrong path. (2 Corinthians 6:14)

Without the 'old school' landmarks, you cannot remain strong in the faith. (Hebrews 13:8)

Denying one's self for the sake of the gospel shows a believer's level of commitment, and God rewards commitment (Hebrews 11:6).

“Some people may laugh at you or call you a religious fanatic for keeping the ancient landmarks (1 Corinthians 2:14), but you must stand firm in your commitment to God and not compromise on God's principles. The whole world will soon come to the brightness of your rising in Christ.”

Memorise: Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. (Proverbs 22:28)

It is good to be ambitious but any ambition that negates the will of God will only cause more trouble than good. (Isaiah 45:9)

You are God's workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). Don't try to go in a different direction from the will of God if you don't want to go astray.

Find God's purpose for your life and walk in it. If a product does not understand its purpose, it can get a hint by staying close to its manufacturer.

“God is your creator; spend quality time with Him daily. As you do this, He will begin to give you specific instructions and use you for certain tasks. These instructions will tell you clearly what His purpose for your life is.”

Memorise: For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, the thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11)

A key characteristic of the major prophecies in the Bible is that they sounded unbelievable when they were spoken.

If the Bible has been so accurate, it is wise to believe that it is absolutely right about rapture. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

“There will be a lot of regrets from people who heard about the rapture, but who lived their lives without bothering to prepare for it by giving their lives to Jesus Christ and living holy. Unfortunately for them, it will be too late because the rapture will only happen once.”

Memorise: For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (Matthew 24:38)

It is possible for you to have absolutely no sorrow. (John 16:24)

The way to get all your sorrow turned to so much joy that you will be filled with it, is to 'ask Him'. (John 16:24) It may seem like a simple instruction, but it is a very powerful one.

Rather than spending time to worry, use that time to pray. (Philippians 4:6)

“When disturbing thought wake you up at night, get up and pray. As you pray and sing praises to God, the sorrows will be lifted from your heart and will be replaced with joy.”

Memorise: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Psalm 16:11)

Do you know that you can get a miracle even when a minister of God is not praying for you? (Mark 5:21-24)
If you say to yourself just like the woman with the issue of blood, "If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I will receive my miracle," God will do it.

“You don't have to wait for a minister of God to pray for you (or have any personal contact). You can get a miracle through him or her with your faith.”

Do you have the kind of faith that draws miracles from God?

Memorise: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. (Mark 9:23)

God has a convoy that goes before Him that is made of fire. (Psalm 97:3) clearing everything that is evil.

Even if you are not the one that God is coming to see, as He is passing by your house, everything that is considered evil in your home will be dealt with. Genesis 18; Luke 7:11-15

You must abstain from sin because you don't want to become a victim of the Consuming Fire whenever He is moving around you.

“If you have a Christian neighbors, every now and then, God will come to visit them (thereby making you a beneficiary). This is why you should do something about the salvation of the people who live close to you, as well as everyone you interact with regularly. (Proverbs 14:34)”

Memorise: And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. (Matthew 9:35)

God doesn’t just want you to be His child, He wants you to be so close to Him that He can consider you His friend.

While it is common for people to betray friendships because of selfish interests or terminate them because of disagreements, the friendship of Jesus Christ lasts forever.

We can become His friend by obeying His commandments. This goes beyond staying away from sin; it means that when He says, “Don’t eat, I want you to fast today,” you should do it.

“When God instructs you to do anything, you should make the necessary sacrifices and obey Him promptly. Obeying God’s commandments is the key to becoming His friend.”

MEMORISE: Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:14)

As a child of God, whenever you have the opportunity to speak about homosexuality, don't beat around the bush. (Evil thrives when good people are too afraid to say the truth.)

Speak to them in love, but still show them from the Scriptures that what they are feeling is not from God because He clearly speaks against it. (Offer to pray with them to help them overcome the feeling.)

Don't stand by and do nothing while people are on their way to destruction; you have a responsibility to save as many as you can (Jude 1:17-23)

“I know that in some countries, the government has made it illegal to speak the truth as regards homosexuality. However, we have a greater government in Christ, and we must represent Him everywhere we go.”

Memorise: Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. (Ephesians 4:25)
