Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
In life, you may have issues with others. Such problems can happen at home, church, workplace or anywhere people gather. However, if you listen to people carefully, you can present your opinion more clearly.
Do you know that many problems people face are a result of the things they say? Yes. When you keep declaring negativity in your life, negative things will keep happening. But when you are positive in mind and in speech, your life will turn out better over time.
When you are leading people who love you, it is better and quite easier because such followers will defend you when something bad happens. And when you have faithful associates, you’ll worry less about betrayal and skipping work because such subordinates will do what they are assigned.
The scripture says in Proverbs 20:27 that the human spirit is the lamp of the Lord. Because of that, it sheds light on a person’s inmost being. That means that our spirit, when made alive by the power of the Holy Spirit upon receiving salvation, becomes the central director of our lives, capable of showing us the next step to take.
As a leader, father, employer or any position of authority you hold, do not rush to make promises. You may not be able to fulfil many of the things you say. Issues can happen and make you feel trapped by your words. So, check your tongue before they land you in trouble.
Dear one, your steps are directed by the Lord. Stop thinking you are a mistake, despite all the mistakes you have ever made or are about to make. However, to avoid making some things God has promised in your life last longer than expected, be prayerful and attentive to hear His directions in your life.
Nobody became a genius in any area of life by accident. They kept learning throughout the journey until they reached their current level. If you have the opportunity to meet such people, especially those in your field of life or career, learn as much as you can from them. But if not, take advantage of the resources they share online.
The Bible says that when you rebuke the discerning, they will gain knowledge. That means discerning (thoughtful) people add to what they already know when they receive a rebuke (openly or secretly).
As a believer in Christ, let it be in your consciousness that God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in Christ. Suppose you have learnt all the principles of wealth creation to the level that you are now enjoying enormous physical wealth in various areas of life, don’t forget that others are to benefit from you.
Your shouting won’t always solve the problem you want to address. Sometimes, taking a step back to analyse the situation before providing a solution is best. Every leader who knows this will end up creating lasting solutions to problems rather than interim ones.
What God thinks and says about you is much more essential than what people say about you. If you made a mistake in the past, it doesn’t mean you are forever flawed. People may not forget your past, but if God has forgiven you, forgive yourself and move on.
A lot of people are living dejected and broken down by the many troubles of life. Some may behave as enemies to you, not because they want to, but because they don’t even know what they are doing (because they may be under the devil’s influence). Wish people well and don’t think of harming them because of what they do.
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.
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.
