Examine Yourself – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 11th

(Are You Serving The Lord Steadfastly?)

TO THE BIBLE – 1 Corinthians 15:58 NKJV
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

LET’S TALK
A seasoned marathon runner understands that the race isn’t won by excitement alone, but by discipline, focus, and unwavering commitment to the course. Every stride matters. Every turn must be intentional.

In the same way, the Christian life isn’t casual or recreational—it is purposeful, spiritual, and governed by divine principles. We’re not playing games.

Our Christian life is serious because it is spiritual. We are living the God-life here on earth, and the return of the Lord—our blessed hope—is nearer today than it has ever been.

This reality calls for constant spiritual alertness. Each day, you must stir up your pure mind, examine yourself, and ensure that your life aligns with the Word of God. Stay focused. Stay deliberate. Stay true.

The Word of God must have absolute dominion over your mind, your spirit, your thoughts, and even your opinions.

The Bible admonishes us, “…do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7 NKJV). Prosperity in life is inseparable from alignment with the Word. The Word is your guide, your compass, and your safeguard.

Psalm 119:105 NKJV tells us, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Just as a lamp illuminates the way in a dark alley, God’s Word reveals the path of life and keeps you in righteousness, clarity, and safety.

Scripture warns that in the last days there will be a falling away, and the love of many will wax cold (2 Thessalonians 2:3; Matthew 24:12). That’s why you must guard your heart and protect your spirit. Remain fervent. Let nothing dilute your faith or diminish your passion for the Lord.

The Christian life is a daily journey. Every day is a fresh opportunity to walk in love, serve the Lord joyfully, walk in the light, and bear fruits of righteousness. Make every day count. Serve the Lord steadfastly—with joy, devotion, and unwavering love.

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the honour of knowing and serving you, and for the privilege and blessing to be called by your Name. I remain steadfast, fervent and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. My love for you is ever-increasing as I serve you with a joyful heart, full of passion and purpose. I shine ever brightly in these last days, revealing your glory and manifesting your righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
