As we are seeking the will of God, we can easily become frustrated if we don’t understand that just as there are times and seasons in nature, there are also times and seasons in our lives and in the process of fulfilling God’s will.

God invites everyone to be great in His kingdom. But we must define greatness according to what the Scriptures say success looks like. God put within each of us a longing to be great and successful in life.

In the book of Ephesians, Paul highlighted three important dimensions in our relationship with Jesus: being seated with Christ in heavenly places, walking worthy, and standing firm.

Philippians 1:9-11 provides us with a concise overview of the nature of Christianity. Paul prayed for three things to increase in their lives—love, knowledge, and discernment. Next, he described the result—our lives are filled with the fruits of righteousness.

In Joel 2:12-17, God tells us what we are to do to receive His mercy and deliverance—we are to turn to Him in wholeheartedness. In a time of crisis, God requires that His people gather together for solemn assemblies; that is, to return to Him in wholeheartedness with prayer and fasting.
