Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
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.
Invest in building lasting relationships with people, especially your close friends. You cannot always prevent an offence from happening, either from your end or theirs. But you can always choose to forgive and live peaceably with all men.
As a believer, you are eligible to judge cases, especially those concerning relationship problems. Because of this privilege God has given you, you must be patient when judging cases between people. Don’t say person A is right or person B is wrong if you haven’t heard the two sides of the story.
Every person who places careful thought into their ways is a discerning person. Because of that trait, he is able to discern and understand how systems and things work and can even predict the future outcomes of some activities going on today. Solomon had this. That is why he wrote that the heart of the discerning acquires knowledge.
State out the clear culture to anyone who gets hired or joins your team and provide punitive measures that will be enacted for those who breach the rules regardless of their position.
Every place where humans are gathered has potential relationship problems that surface over time. But as a child of God, you must develop good listening skills. Why? The Bible says in Proverbs 13:20 that anybody who answers a matter before he hears it displays folly and shame.
Dear one, deal with heart corruption if you want to prosper wholly in your life. Otherwise, things won’t go well. Don’t be a lover of money so much that you ignore God and His Word in the name of chasing after wealth. Also, never trust in riches, but in God, who blesses people abundantly for them to enjoy and also be a blessing to others.
The Psalmist says in Psalm 37:39 that the salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is their stronghold in time of trouble. Think about this for a moment. God’s Word says that when the righteous person goes into trouble, the Lord Himself, not anybody, will bring them salvation (deliverance) and serve as their stronghold. That is great news, right?
God will exalt you to inherit the land. By using the word “inherit,” it means that God’s way of uplifting you will not come by your own efforts and hard work. No! It will come by His doing.
Doing the work of the ministry with filthy things is just like witchcraft. When you use dark forces and even still deceive people by using the Bible in church to preach, you are not doing God’s work. You are practising witchcraft. To such people, God will punish them so dearly.
The Lord does not look at the things people look at. While many people can rate another person fit for a job or position based on physical stature or Earthly possessions, God looks at the heart. If your heart is pure before Him, He will choose you over the masses who boast in their physical stature and possessions.
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.
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.
God was raising a whole nation through Abraham and his family line. So, He was meticulous not to allow people from just any tribe to marry or have children with them. God still defended Abraham because He wanted the Holy Seed, which was (and still is) Christ (see Galatians 3:29), to be well preserved. That’s it!
