What are the negative effect of taking shortcut in life

We all want to be at the top, but taking shortcuts is one of the most destructive things you can do. Shortcuts were offered by Satan when he tempted Jesus in the wilderness. He showed Jesus a short way to carry out God's will, and a simple way to avoid the cross. Satan loves to provide shortcuts, but God's methods are far too long and difficult.

God's will must be carried out in God's timing and in God's manner. Any other method is ineffective in achieving the end result that God desires.

It was never implied when you became a Christian that God would make your life easier. We will face hardships, trials, and tribulations, just as Jesus did when he walked this earth, and just as Jesus predicted.

Things obtained by taking shortcuts never last. James tells us in the Bible to rejoice in our trials because they help us to persevere in our faith James 1:2. Our initial response is frequently a litmus test for our faith.

God wants us to have humility, patience, and proper values instilled in us. I assure you that the proper response is to put your faith in his method. If you feel like you've been standing in the same place for too long, pray and wait on the LORD. Our strength will be renewed if we put our trust in the LORD, according to Isaiah 40:31. We'll be able to soar like eagles, run without exhaustion, and walk without becoming dizzy.

We find our strength in God, which is a wise decision because it allows us to run without becoming exhausted. God will perform miracles and move mountains when we put our faith and trust in him.

So, today, make a prayer to the Lord, and tell him you can't do it alone and that you need his help. If life were always easy and simple, we would never have the opportunity to grow spiritually. Maintain a positive attitude, a humble and submissive heart, and trust in God's plan for your life.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
