Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
As a child of God, guard your heart with all diligence. Intentionally withdraw from some close associations with people just to keep your heart at peace. There’ll always be people who don’t qualify to say things about you and much more to think about saying evil things about you. Just let people be with what they say, and keep your peace.
The way God takes you through life will probably not be how you expect it. Your journey may take longer than you expect it. But in the midst of all these troubles, don’t let go of your trust in Him.
When you develop a responsible mindset and attach it to work, you’ll soon realise there’s no need to take what you have not worked for or given freely by others. It is more of a blessing to give than to receive. In other words, it is more fulfilling to work and have enough, so much so that you can give unto others what you have in abundance.
How you talk and what you say significantly influences you and people. If you keep saying negative things, it’ll affect your mindset as well as your hearers. That is why it is essential to maintain a positive mindset in Christ, regardless of the challenges you are facing today.
Make up your mind that you’ll think about having everything in abundance so you can share with those in need and not think about yourself and your family alone. May the Lord help you to be more impactful with your work.
There are two primary paths in life, each requiring sacrifice. If you sacrifice your life for Jesus by becoming more committed to ministry, you’ll find more relevance in it, plus additional eternal rewards in heaven. But if you run away from ministry and follow after worldliness, you’ll get what you pursued but, ultimately, lose your life to keep them.
Distractions from focusing on God’s Word of truth open the way for doubts to set in. And if you don’t deal with it, it can affect your productivity with God’s Word. Get out of your comfort zone and believe what God has said concerning your life without wavering.
If God has blessed you with something, and you are trivialising it so much that you tend to mishandle it, it’s only a matter of time before you start losing it. Don’t treat anything God has given you so lightly.
When you are faithful to what God has trusted you with, He will give you more things to handle. That is why one of the most assured ways of growth in ministry and business is how faithfully you shepherd the few souls you start with and the few customers you get from the beginning. I tell you, it pays to be faithful.
Guard the Word sown in your heart, whether you receive it via a sermon in church, personal Bible Study or through a ministry media content. If you don’t guard it and you allow other things to distract you, the devil will steal it from you.
When you are interacting with someone and the person utters harsh words in times of anger, it could be that those words were already prepared to be said in the heart before the situation happened. Indeed, the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. So, to keep your words clean, don’t entertain bitterness in your heart.
When a person is pretending to be born again and tries mingling with the church but, in essence, is not born again, that is hypocrisy. To spot such a person, you need to check their behaviour. Ensure that everybody gets access to the gospel of grace.
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!”
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.Â
Money is a tool, not a god. When you trust in God more than in gold, you protect your faith and secure your future. Let us not be driven by greed but guided by grace.
Social media is designed to keep you engaged at all times. Living this way, you might miss the real focus of life, disconnect from your fellow Christians, and find yourself isolated—becoming the perfect target for the evil one. So be wise and control the internet; don’t let it control you.
God gives each person unique gifts to serve others and bring glory to Him. These gifts are not just special talents but also ways to show love, help people, and make a difference. However, the most important thing is not how big or small your gift is but how you use it to support others and honour God.
What are you doing with your life that is keeping you busy with something unnecessary before God? Evaluate your life with this question, and chop off any engagement you’re involved in that is taking so much of your time but isn’t yielding any eternal benefit in God’s kingdom for you.
