Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
Suffering some setbacks may make you think that you are moving backwards. But what if I told you that those setbacks may be God’s setups for you to propel higher and faster?
According to Romans 8:16, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit is the One who bears witness with each believer’s spirit that one is a child of God. So, He’s an inner witness to us, and one of the things He does is to make us know that we are indeed children of God.
As a child of God, you have received divine enablement to live by the dictates of the Spirit. So, with that power in you, use it to mortify the deeds of the flesh that present themselves in the form of temptations. It is well with you on every side.
Dear one, God has predestined you to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus. Therefore, stop seeking approval or identity in the things of the world, both material and immaterial things. Things don’t work that way. Stick to Christ, keep fellowshipping with Him, and make sure that He’s the number one priority in all you do.
Today, if you have faced persecution for spreading the gospel, I want to encourage you to get up and move on. Life won’t always be rosy for you as a Christian. But remember that God is with you. Above all, take good care of yourself.
God loved the world so much that He gave the world Jesus Christ to come, die and atone for the sins of humanity. Today, there is no hindrance between God and man because Jesus has cleared the way by taking away sin.
God knew that all had sinned and fallen short of His glory (see Romans 3:23). So, if God wanted to punish humanity by making atonement for their sins, then all deserve to be in hell. But God didn’t do that. He chose to place all of humanity’s sin on Jesus so He would atone for it and be a propitiation for our sins.
Today, your sins are no longer imputed on you because Jesus Christ has born them on the cross. So, instead of beating yourself up for all the wrongdoings you may have done, show the devil that Jesus has paid for your sins. Therefore, you have been set free in Christ. Walk in this consciousness, and you’ll enjoy your freedom.
Dear preacher, tell people that their human works cannot save them. Everything they do to please God in the flesh will never amount to anything before Him. They need to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved, and this principle cuts across the entire human race, whether a Jew or a Gentile.
Because of Jesus’ atonement of sins for all humanity, each believer has become the righteousness of God. Therefore, before God, all your sins have been nailed to the cross, and you are cleansed from within. However, to see the full manifestation of your nature as God’s justified one, you need to keep hearing the gospel. But why? Because it is through the gospel that you’ll gradually get to know and understand who God has made you.
It is exciting to see people getting saved. But the work doesn’t end there. Such souls need to be discipled so they can mature spiritually, of which some may become frontiers of ministry in the near future. If God has not given up on you all these years, then don’t give up on that soul.
Dear one, just because God has spoken to you doesn’t mean things cannot happen to you. We live in an evil age (see Galatians 1:4), where the devil, who is the god of this world (see 2 Corinthians 4:4), does not like believers in Christ to thrive in their various callings peacefully. So, embrace persecution as part of your faith journey. But don’t give up despite the setbacks you face.
As believers and ambassadors of the kingdom of God on earth, God gives us the power to do whatever He wills. The power to cast out devils, to heal the sick, to preach the good news belongs to us in Christ. But we must use it.
Declaring ‘amen’, without a relationship with Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:33), is impotent. Amen isn’t a magic word that causes you to get whatever you pray for; it is an affirmation of faith.
Wisdom is better than wealth. If you get divine wisdom, the riches, wealth and honour will follow. But if you chase after wealth without wisdom, you will get the money, but it won’t last because you won’t have the capacity to sustain it.
God is still in the business of turning nobodies into somebodies. No matter how bad your beginning is, keep serving Him. His honour on your life will keep increasing, and He will keep rewarding you even for your secret labours.
The goal of marriage is to keep the godly covenant between a man and his wife, not merely to seek comfort or revenge. Therefore, in both good and bad times, couples should learn how to live with each other and go through every situation.
When your mind is attuned to God, earthly things and possessions won’t be of much bother to your mind. It will help you plan your acquisition of those material possessions when you are able, but won’t make it your primary reason for toiling each day to get them.
In choosing your friends, remember that the quality of your relationships will significantly impact the course of your life. Choose friends who share your values, support your growth, and challenge you to become the person God has called you to be. Be the kind of friend you would want to have, and trust that God will bring the right people into your life at the right time.
Like Joseph, who endured suffering before he was divinely exalted, those who remain steadfast will see God’s faithfulness. Lean on His grace, for it is sufficient. In the end, the sweet aftertaste of enduring love far outweighs the bitterness of temporary struggles. Keep loving Jesus; your perseverance will not go unrewarded.
“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:8). This divine storehouse is spiritual, infinite, and provides straightforward help to believers with no strings attached.
When you trust something or somebody to do something for you, and things mess up, that is when your patience will be subjected to a test. Why? Because things may not go as fast as you want them to, and you’ll be forced to go and pray as you wear the cloak of endurance.
You must continue to be persistent in prayer about what you are requesting from God. That is where you must be shamelessly audacious. Some hurdles in life cannot be crossed over by remaining calm.
The spiritual battle is real, but so is your victory through Christ. You are not defenceless against the enemy’s attacks. God has equipped you with mighty weapons.
God has already given you the authority—you don’t need to fight for it. You need to walk in it. Don’t let fear, sin, or doubt hold you back from living in the power Christ has made available. Instead, rise up, take your place, and enforce heaven’s will on earth. Your authority as a believer is real, powerful, and active—if only you will believe and walk in it.
Focused people who are serious about work struggle less with porn because their minds are occupied. So, probably one of the most effective ways to deal with porn is to be serious with your relationship with God and busy fulfilling your divine mandate.
You don’t have to give your children everything the ask for, especially if they see that you have lots of money. If you do that, you’ll grow a spirit of selfishness and greed in them, and they will likely not have enough wisdom to manage everything you provide for them.
Where you have faith, you do not have anxiety, but where you do not have faith, anxiety coils like a snake—an instinctive reaction, tightening when you’re vulnerable. In a world of visible crises and invisible battles, cultivating faith isn’t merely spiritual—it’s the soul’s antidote to anxiety’s grip.
Because each person’s thinking pattern is different, it is possible to have team members disagree with one another. It happens in the ministry, workplaces, and even in families (among couples and siblings). However, handling disagreements in ministry is one art you must learn as a Christian, especially if you are a leader in the ministry.
According to 1 Corinthians 7:2, the anchor scripture for this article, marriage is a great tool to fight sexual immorality. It is better to marry and have all the sex you want with your spouse than to be sleeping around with people.
