Paul, who endured imprisonment, beatings, and ultimately martyrdom for preaching the Gospel, viewed his sufferings as insignificant compared to the future glory promised by God. As believers, we will face varying degrees of suffering, but this pales in comparison to the glory awaiting us. When Jesus returns, His glory will be revealed to us, and we will receive glorified bodies reflecting God’s glory. Creation, affected by mankind’s sin, eagerly awaits the revelation of God’s children, which will bring relief and order. This anticipation is likened to a mother’s labor pains, which, despite the intensity, culminate in joy with the birth of her child. The Holy Spirit within us is the firstfruits of this promise, giving us a glimpse of our future in Christ. As adopted children of God, we are joint heirs with Jesus, awaiting the fulfillment of our hope with patience and eager anticipation.

Many married people are frustrated because their spouse doesn’t believe in or support their vision. Why? Because God gave you the vision, not your spouse. Your faith has been activated to see something that doesn’t exist yet, so you can believe the vision without seeing proof. However, your spouse may not have received a word from God about it, so they don’t have a basis for faith yet, which means they will need to see some tangible proof. Let's explore the concept of asking God to provide your spouse with proof of success so your spouse can get on board with the vision.

These verses emphasizes that accepting Jesus as Savior brings the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which empowers believers to live a fulfilling and spiritually enriched life aligned with God’s will, transcending the limitations of the flesh which leads to death. The analogy of slavery is used to illustrate the bondage and fear associated with living by the flesh, a concept familiar to the audience of Ephesus, where slavery was prevalent. In contrast, living by the Spirit grants freedom and life, signifying that believers are not enslaved to sin but are children and heirs of God’s kingdom. The Holy Spirit continually reassures believers of their identity as God’s children, even when they falter, affirming their eternal inheritance and relationship with God.

This is important because there is a connection between having a happy marriage and succeeding in a God-given calling.

Have you been praying for success in business but it seems like your prayers are not being answered? If so and you're married, then check the state of your marriage.

As parents, we have to be mindful not to leave a vision for our children. God has called us to leave an inheritance for them, but not a vision. We can become so excited and passionate about our calling that we want our children to work with us and eventually take over from us. However, this is very dangerous because we could be hindering the calling God has given them by placing our calling on them.

This passage describes that the mind is a crucial spiritual battleground, where negative thoughts are produced by your sin nature and godly thoughts are guided by the Holy Spirit. The outcome of this struggle determines who controls your actions and spiritual direction. Believers can achieve victory by allowing the Holy Spirit to fill their minds, while unbelievers cannot succeed in this battle unless they are born again. The sin nature generates feelings of lack and worry, leading you to act against God’s will. In contrast, the Holy Spirit brings peace and fulfillment. The passage emphasizes the importance of choosing to follow God and warns that you must guard your mind against Satan's corruption so you can live a life that pleases God.

Unfortunately, most people (secular and Christian) place their businesses before their spouses because they are driven to succeed in their work. However, the problem is that if your spouse is unfulfilled, God is not blessing your business, which means that your business success is not coming from God.

Submission in many households is a bad word, but it is a word God loves. We may be familiar with it in the context of wives submitting to their husbands. However, this word also applies to our businesses. If you are married (husband or wife), God expects us to submit our business to our spouse.
