Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
Not all life problems are related to money, directly or indirectly. But generally speaking, being content with all that God has provided for you as you hope for better days ahead helps you to be patient in life.
Salvation will always be by grace through faith (see Ephesians 2:8), not by works. However, to get the most out of God’s salvation that you have as His gift, you need to be ready to probe deeper into it, primarily through walking in divine obedience as you pursue a deeper intimacy with Jesus.
Conceit is a term that means excessive pride in oneself. So, yes, some people do things in this life not because they need to but because they are too proud of what they know or the skills they have, and they think they are the best in the world for that. It can be manifested in talents, sporting competitions, or even ministerial roles. But as believers, we are not supposed to do anything with that motive behind it. And that is serious.
God wants you to let your love abound more in divine knowledge and depth of insight. In other words, he doesn’t want you just to love Him and people but also to grow in knowledge and insight of how to do it. When you understand how God’s kind of love works, it’ll separate you from how the world sees love. You’ll live more and more like Jesus, even in a perverse and crooked generation full of evil.
Is there something you are eagerly waiting for God to do? He may have delayed reaching such a need on your own terms. But He is never late. He is always right on time. His thoughts for you are for good and will never be evil. Trust Him, and most importantly, fellowship with Him so you can discern His next steps in your life.
God has prepared great things for those who love Him and walk according to His ways. But to see those things, you cannot view them by searching online. You only get them by consulting the Holy Spirit. Why? Because the Spirit searches all things, including the deep things of God, for you.
Don’t think walking with God makes you disadvantaged despite your afflictions. It is not so and will never be so. His wisdom will glorify you on the path of life as you follow Him. He has never failed anyone, and you are not the first on that line to break His record.
No matter who you are in God’s kingdom, ensure that you don’t let your faith rest in human wisdom. As a preacher or leader of a church or ministry, let your central goal be to present people to God blameless, not to amass wealth or even make a name for yourself.
Don’t think you are that strong or intelligent, even if you have made millions. People can honour you because of your position in society, but God is no respecter of persons (see Acts 10:34). He can bring you very low in seconds. So be careful of what you say. Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.
God still chooses the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He is still in the business of making people extremely wealthy with small business ideas people disregard. And I must say that is one of the reasons why He gives humble beginnings to visionaries. Why? In their formative stages, people will disregard what they carry as God strengthens them to build up gradually until it becomes huge. Don’t give up!
God still chooses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. He is still in the business of turning people rejected by society into sought-after people by the world for His glory. Do you feel disadvantaged in life? If yes, then be assured that you are part of God’s plan to lift you up. So, don’t give up on yourself. Only remain humble under His mighty hand.
Dear preacher, you may not agree with everything your colleague in ministry preaches. But aim for unity with him, not uniformity. All may not wear the same colours, but Christ must be exalted above all our differences.
It’s essential to understand that ministry is full of sacrifice. However, there are some privileges in Christ for ministers too, and if you are unaware of them or do not insist on them, you won’t enjoy them. One of them is what Paul shared in Galatians 6:6 (NKJV).
There are situations and conditions on this Earth that will never change. And because of this, it is essential to note that you can always press on to do something special for your pastor, no matter the prevailing factors.
As a pastor, you don’t have to request any physical provision from your congregants. Let God do His work by touching their lives to bless you. But for you, focus on the work. Also, as a congregant reading this, consider factoring in some expenses in your budget purposely for your pastor. You’ll be fulfilling Scripture as you do this, and God will bless you.
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.
