Let the Lord be your mentor

Psalms 37:3-6
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.


Most of the time when you correct someone the reply is 'I know I am making a mistake or where I am going wrong, do not show me my problem show me the solution'.

The amusing part is, like the ability to discern the problem is in us, so also the solution to our problem is also in us. Therefore there are scriptures stating we are already victorious even when we are still fighting. What we need to do is be still; does not mean to stand in a position but to rest our minds and hear what the Lord speaks via our consciences. If we do hear a voice then we must ask ourselves what Jesus would do if He was in our position and His Spirit which dwells in us will guide us.

We need to give attention to the small things that we do in life where we take our actions for granted. When we pay attention to the small things then the big ones we will automatically overcome.

We do not need some great man or woman of God counseling us when we have the Lord Himself with us. Trust in Him; even if we make some mistakes in the start do not worry, we must keep going back to the Lord and He will direct us and bring us unto our earthly promise land (blessings).


[ Prayer Starter ]

Father God, Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me. Help me Lord to abide by your Spirit and listen unto your voice. By your Hand mend my ways and lead me unto my promise land. I ask this in Jesus' Name Amen.

1 John 5:4-5
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Romans 8:5-15
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others.
