Understand the BALANCE
BALANCE
Noah
Noah built the ark by faith but, he used measurements. There is a place for rational thinking in our walk of faith. Not all decisions should be made with blind hope!
Rationalize your thinking and do not use only spiritual faith
Sarah
Sarah's pregnancy was a miracle, but it took nine months just like any other. God's plans do not negate the importance of process. Sometime you need to wait or work it out.
God respects the laws of the universe
Moses
Moses could hear directly from God, but he was wearing himself out with work, it was the wisdom of his father in law that saved him from dying a premature death with exhaustion. It is wisdom to put on a seat belt, brush teeth, having insurance and adhere to medical advise. Being spiritual does not mean asking angels to cook food for you!
Get a wealth of wisdom from interaction
Ruth
Ruth received favor to marry Boaz, but the coaching of Naomi was necessary. Human coaching is necessary, you need to submit and learn from someone. It will spare you from silly mistakes.
Learning and submission is a virtue for a child of God to develop
David and Goliah
The stone that killed Goliath might have been anointed, but David's skill was also involved. Developing skills does not mean you are not anointed. If you play a piano, play it to the fullest. Don't take us through the agony of listening to your cacophony in the name of "singing to the Lord". Skills are important. There is nothing rude with telling that sister "you can't sing, find something else to do in the house of God".
Develop skills as much as you recognize your anointing
Esther
Esther received favor to become queen, but she also bathed and prepared her appearance. Preparation is key to become fit for the occasion. Get knowledge, go to school. Stop blaming auto-correct, check your spelling even here on social media. Prepare, because some of us expect nothing but the best from you!
Prepare for the success and it would come
Namaan
Namaan was a mighty soldier and a friend of Kings, but he acted as influenced by a Jewish maiden. Even important people are influenced by"insignificant"people.
The key thing is proximity that generates influence.
The promise land
The promised land was full of milk and honey, but they also had to plow, feed cattle, and take care of sheep. Miracles are communication tools that God uses to instill trust, faith and the knowledge of his nature. You need to work, don't expect miracles in a specific area of life all the time. No one pays rent for a full year with miracle money. We need it, we want it, but God wants what is permanent.
Understand the communication tool of God: Miracles
Mishandling of the natural world can cause hinderance to progress, and a total neglect of the spiritual world will definitely cause total failure in all areas of life.
Balance is the key.
Respect to @anaman and @richforever we would get to @kencode and @cass if we keep at what we are doing.
