- People: Romans 12:18 – People: it’s important to note that some people are difficult to live with. Human problems cause a lot f stress. When you quarrel with someone irrespective of whether you are right or wrong, you must also end up stressed. Therefore, you need wisdom to understand how you deal with people. Respect all people irrespective of their status and don’t take people for granted in this journey of life. In 1 Samuel 30:11, the man who was deemed to be no body by the armies of the Egyptians was left by the Egyptians and led the Israelites to them.
- Time: Time is very important and it must be used carefully. What you do with your time is what you have done with your life. Use most of your time to understand the purpose of God and will of God over your life.
- Meet with God often: Mark 1:35 – Many people can talk but power to do comes from the Lord Jesus. There is no short cut in communications with God; therefore you must communicate with God because your life depends of God.
- Personal Preparation: You prepare for what train for. When stories are narrated, the people learn about the stories not about the true stories of preparation. Luke 1:80.
Places of preparation by God:
- Spiritual mentorship
- Send them to the wilderness
- Training in biblical institutes
- Marriage: Matthew 19:3: Marriage is a universal law, people across the world marry and get married. If you have succeeded in relationship, you must humble yourself. Therefore, a partner can make or break you. If you want to be successful in marriage, husbands must listen to their wives
- Purposeful Living: Acts 20:24 – Life on earth is useless if you are not aligned to the purpose to which God created you for. The key to life is not money or riches, but the purpose to which you are created for. In the contemporary world, the richest men have diverse spouses because money can’t make them happy. If you don’t know Jesus, there are lots of things that can’t give you peace.
- Mindset: You hear the way you think. When you think about something, don’t take it to the heart. Be careful with what you hear and take to the heart and that is how you Guard your heart.
