WHEN GOD IS DEALING WITH YOUR HEART, LET HIM // APOSTLE AROME OSAYI
There are seasons when God will call you into deeper places with Him—not merely to pray for blessings, but to allow Him to work on the person you are becoming.
Sometimes He removes bitterness. Sometimes pride. Sometimes jealousy, unforgiveness, selfish ambition, wrong attitudes, or hidden compromises. It may not always feel comfortable, but do not resist His work. Whatever God removes that is unhealthy is making room for Christ to become more visible in your life.
As you grow spiritually, God may entrust you with greater responsibilities. But before He increases what is in your hands, He often examines what is inside your heart.
How do you respond when you are pressured?
How do you react when someone insults you?
How do you handle authority?
Can you remain humble when God begins to use you?
Never allow influence to become more important to you than intimacy with God.
People may change. Opportunities may disappear. Doors may close. Recognition may fade. But your relationship with God is what will sustain you through every season.
Sometimes God may even ask you to apologize when you feel you are right. He may tell you to humble yourself after speaking wrongly or behaving badly. When He corrects you, don't fight His correction. Choose obedience over pride.
The flesh loses its power when we continually choose God's will above our own feelings.
Stay in His love. People may disappoint you. Promises may be forgotten. Some people may reject you or walk away from you. But God's love remains faithful.
The deeper your intimacy with God becomes, the more sensitive you become to His voice. You begin to recognize His warnings, His peace, His direction, and His restraint.
There will be moments when God tells you to leave certain relationships, environments, or situations. You may not understand everything immediately, but trust the One who sees what you cannot see.
And when you miss His leading, don't become discouraged or proud. Go back to Him and ask, “Lord, what did I misunderstand? Teach me to hear You better.”
The goal is not to boast about how spiritual you are. The goal is to remain teachable before God.
After praying, serving, fasting, obeying, and doing everything you know to do, never stand before God boasting about your performance.
Stand before Him asking for mercy.
The more you know God, the more you realize how much you need Him. Your strength is limited. Your understanding is limited. Your obedience may be imperfect.
But His mercy is greater than your limitations.
So make this the cry of your heart:
“Lord, have mercy on me. Cover my weaknesses. Correct my mistakes. Strengthen my faith. Keep transforming me. Help me remain close to You.”
There is a place where God's mercy carries you beyond what your own strength can accomplish.
You don't stand because you have performed perfectly.
You stand because He is merciful.
Protect your intimacy with God more than your reputation. Value His presence more than power. Choose His correction over pride. Keep building yourself in faith, and never stop returning to His presence.
When everything else changes, intimacy with God will keep your heart anchored.
Amen.
