Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
Dear one, as long as you have life today, you have another opportunity to contribute to your database of good works in Christ. Don’t let the enemy deceive you that you don’t have to do more today. No! There are higher realms of impact than where God has taken you right now. It can only get better with you.
As a wife, you have an obligation to build your home (see Proverbs 14:1). Much of your husband’s behaviour will reflect how you influence him. So, if you are not submissive, disobedient, stubborn or uncaring, and you start having problems, fix yourself and stop blaming your husband.
Just because you are born again doesn’t mean you’re less of a human. No! You are still a human with fleshly tendencies. But the power of God resident in you supersedes those desires. So when you put on Christ in your consciousness, the devil’s suggestive thoughts on fleshly lusts won’t have space to breed in your mind for you to even act on it.
The Bible says civil authorities are God’s servants who give their full time to governing (see Romans 13:6). Think about this! They don’t preach the gospel, but the work they do is still regarded as ministerial work. So, if that is so, what makes you think you don’t need to obey them? As much as you obey your pastor, obey the governing authorities also. It’s for your own good.
Teaching the Word of God is one of the hardest things to do. It has so much to do with diligent studying that the teacher must get the revelation in the scripture accurate before hinting upon it in the congregation. That is where many people don’t understand how laborious pastors work. Some think they have a full week of rest and only show up on Sunday mornings to preach. If you think like that, please repent because it is false.
In Romans 12:3, Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote that as a believer in Christ, you should not think of yourself more highly than you ought to but rather think of yourself with sober judgement. My emphasis is on the word “sober.” To be sober means to be moderate, solemn, or of sound mind. That composure in the mindset prevents you from talking pridefully or thinking you are more important than others in this life, even if your status in society is somehow elevated.
If you are a lay minister, you can still adjust your life to serve God faithfully without repercussions on your professional life. You may not have the opportunity to put in as many hours as you want, but it’s better to do something than to do nothing.
Don’t leave your life to chance and think everything will just be fine. I tell you, the evil in this world is so great that without prayer, you can’t make much of an impact. Press on!
When a person’s heart is corrupted, evil become his lifestyle. So, people, especially unbelievers, sin not because they intentionally decide to but because their hearts are corrupted by the evils in the world. Do they need help? Yes, but not character change. They need Jesus to cleanse them from within, and I must say that that is one of the primary reasons why the Church exists in this world.
Have you not realised that many people get into trouble only after they do bad things? Yes, upright living is meant for your own good, although not everyone will side with you in such a lifestyle.
In Isaiah 46:4, God said clearly that He will sustain you even in your old age with grey hairs. He has promised to carry and rescue you from all forms of trouble. That is a promise He has made. But do you believe it? Even if you believe, are you conscious of this Word every day? Why do you think it’ll get worse with you as you grow old? God has not planned that for you.
Whatever you have, look after it well. Fight against little acts of compromise, lest you destroy something precious in your life.
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.
It takes a lot of work to succeed and keep going strong in anything God has called a person to do, not only ministry-wise. And that requires you to manage your charisma well. Learn more about this leadership piece.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life (see John 11:25). He can bring back to life anything people regard as dead and worthless. Is it your life that has become so bad because you messed up with it in worldliness? He can give you beauty for ashes. But when you come to Him, and He tells you what to do, don’t challenge Him or complain like Martha did when Jesus ordered for people to take away the stone that covered the tomb where Lazarus was laid (see John 11:39). Believe in Him, and watch Him do miracles in your life.
Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of illness, convinced that it is a normal occurrence? Today, let this be a reminder that sickness is not your portion as a child of God. Your inheritance is health, wholeness, and abundance. However, where there is a delay, continue to trust His heart, even when you cannot trace His hand.
There is one thing I want to say about mothers, predominantly Christian mothers. It’s how they keep praying for their children and husbands. It’s such an awesome practice. But there’s something called praying the right way for your child as a mother.
God did not call you to add issues to where He helped you get your work. Your addition to that team should bring relief instead of pain. So, when a problem arises, you must have the courage to solve it, rather than turning on an idle attitude.
There are some times in life when things get logically frightening. People might play the devil’s advocate by trying to instil fear in you, but God’s word to us is to choose not to fear every one of those times. He has already empowered us against fear when He says, “Fear not!”
If you are in Zion (signifying those born again) and your life is too flexible (at ease or lazy), there’s something wrong. Why? In God’s kingdom, there is pressure to make advancements to establish God’s purposes on Earth. Don’t entertain laziness in your life.
Delve into the Word to uncover your inheritance waiting for you. Also, remember that God’s principles were established not merely for your benefit but primarily for God’s glory.
If you don’t know how to pray in the quiet moments or at any moment of your life, begin with just calling on the name of the Lord. His name is powerful and can be an anchor to you in various points of need in your life.
The Bible isn’t just a book of rules or stories. It’s a divine revelation that calls for full engagement of the head, mind, and heart. Reading it with your eyes, understanding it with your mind, and receiving it with your heart becomes more than literature; it becomes life. Don’t stop at the surface, whether you’re a lifelong believer or a recent convert. Dive deep.
Sometimes, God doesn’t remove the issue but rather empowers us to go through it. If Jesus never promised us a problem-free life, then surely it’s not every issue you’ll tell Him to remove from your life that He’ll listen to you. As a matter of fact, some are needed for your growth.
The fact that God allowed you to come to this world means you are needed. However, it is not everywhere you are needed. The colt was stuck at that tree because the One who needed it had not yet sent for it. Today, let me minister grace to you. Do not worry about your life because when it is your turn, nothing can stop God’s manifestation of His prophecies concerning your life.
