Once you become self-controlled, alert, and submitted to God, your next step must be to: 'Resist the devil...he will flee from you.' When you are properly aligned with Jesus, His power and authority are behind you and at your disposal. Then when you act or speak you do so, not on your own, but as His representative. To get the best from God, you need to know when to make your requests. When you have the opportunity to access God's mighty presence, explore it to the fullest. A wise believer will optimise every opportunity from God because time is short. So is there anything you have been leaving undone Today is the day you need to start making a change. If you are doing anything for God, you must be in a hurry, because if you are too slow, your sacrifice, obedience or gift might become irrelevant or unacceptable in His sight. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” Work when you can because a day is coming when you will be unable to perform the same work here on earth. In 1 Kings 19:4-8, when Elijah was so discouraged, he asked God for death but God gave him food. God knows your need. Sometimes, one can be so confused to the point of asking amiss; if you are in that situation, instead of your wrong request, God will give you what you did not ask for that will meet with your need.
