”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you“- Matthew 6:33

One shocking truth we will come to learn as Christians is the fact that God desires us to embrace His divine Spirit in other to achieve spiritual growth and success in life. Embracing His divine Spirit is to attune with the heart and the soul of God right in you! The scripture says the kingdom of God is in you! Tuning to the Christ in you, in order to align with the divine spirit of God brings you to the domain of God’s power and providence. In God’s presence and domain, there are God’s attributes which exemplify His righteousness and power, and these are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” – (Gal 5: 19-21). You must always make sure you are closely bonded with God in order to gain access to his divine powers. How then do we tell if we are in tune with His divine Spirit? Please always watch these aspects of your life: ONE, Your thoughts. Do you think good, clean, positive thoughts? Are your thoughts godly? Or is evil sometimes on your mind? To purge yourself of impure thoughts, focus on truth, honesty, justice etc. TWO, Check your friendships. What kind of friends do you keep? The scriptures says; “Evil company corrupts good habits” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Just as a glass of water left in a room will eventually take on the temperature of that room, so we will become like those with whom we associate, for better or worse.

THIRD, Our Eyes; what do we watch or read? Are you able to say to yourself, like David did - “I will set no wicked thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me”? (Psalm 101:3). FOURTH, check your conversation. How is your speech? Negative or positive? The scripture says, “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one” (Col. 4:6). FIFTH, check your lifestyle. As Christians, it has been said that “you may be the only Bible some will ever read.” Therefore, your actions must speak louder than your words. We are to be examples of God’s way of life to everyone with whom we come in contact. (II Corinthians 5:20) You may think nobody is watching you; people judge your religion by the way you conduct yourself in the midst of others. Therefore, let your conduct reflect obedience to God’s Laws. The word of God is telling you today to tune to God in you and embrace His divine Spirit and power. Only then will you achieve power that cuts through every area of your life. God’s way is of peace, Love, Justice, Harmony, Kindliness, Piety, Humility, Sincerity, Forgiveness, Tolerance, etc. When we are tuned up to Him, He gives us the power to imbibe all His ways and attributes and to become like Him. The more closely bonded we are to God, the more power we gain to overcome the stress of life! Ask yourself today, “am I tuned to God’s divine Spirit”?
