Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
The Bible entreats all believers to preach the gospel, both in and out of season (see 2 Timothy 4:2). So, the matter of preaching the gospel isn’t about when you feel comfortable to do it. Instead, it is about being faithful to God’s commission. However, there are precautions to take as you keep doing this. That is, remain separate unto the Lord.
Jesus is coming again and demands that all people repent (see Acts 17:30). Do you revere God? If not, it’s time to repent. If yes, preach the gospel to others so they can be saved. Snatch some from the path leading to hell. Don’t watch people intentionally die in sin while God is waiting to give them a glorious life, starting here on earth and in heaven. Be serious about spreading the net of kingdom influence.
You may not see the Lord supply significant provisions in your life now. But don’t lose hope in Him. Keep following His ways and worry less about your life. He is with you and will never leave nor forsake you. In the midst of all the turmoil, stay faithful to His call. He will not put you to shame.
Fret not about your life, thinking your issues will be the same as you see them today. No! It won’t. Things will change over time. In some situations, you must take action intentionally; otherwise, they will remain. For others, God will step in at the right time for you, and such situations don’t just pass away, no matter how much you pray or how much effort you put into changing it. Live joyfully, being conscious of His presence in your life. It is well with you!
God is not like a man to be overly angry and do regrettable things that will affect generations because of emotions. No! In Psalm 30:5, it is clearly written that God’s anger lasts only for a moment. However, his favour lasts a lifetime.
Take God’s instructions seriously. They may come in a still, small voice, His Word, or in a unique way He speaks to you. Whatever way they come, take them up, document them, pray about them, and do what He has said. It is well with you.
The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8-9 that God’s ways are not man’s ways. They are actually higher than man’s ways. That means what God intends for you to do or follow is definitely higher than your knowledge can comprehend. That’s why you can’t stop praying. Why? Because the more you pray and fellowship with God, the more He reveals His ways to you. So, the surest method to ask God to show you His way, especially when in a dilemma, is to pray.
After ascending the throne as Israel’s king, David had all the riches he wanted. He had all the wives, children, and servants; name them. He had everything. Instead of priding himself on his possessions, he wrote in Psalm 27:4 that his primary desire is to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. What about you? After getting all the money, connections, business successes and more, will God still be your number one priority in your life?
Instead of trusting in what you have to protect you, rest your hope in God. He is the only One who will ever be faithful to you, not another human being. He never fails. In fact, He is a reliable God. He will keep you from all harm and watch over your steps as you live to fulfil His will daily.
Be on guard against anything the devil tries to use people to do that is contrary to God’s plan for your life. Continually fellowship with God so He can keep showing you the next step to take. And when you do, it will be easier to discern His way in order to follow it.
When the Bible says blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord, it means that God has not called you to sleep and wait for His manifestation of divine blessings. He is actually telling you to use the knowledge you’ve received in His Word to work.
Don’t be deceived. The devil is constantly working to guilt-trip people so that they’ll not be free enough to be productive, creative and impactful in their lives. And that can happen when you give him space in your life. So, resist the devil, draw closer to God and relate more frequently with the Holy Spirit through divine fellowship. He will help you.
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.Â
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!”
