Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
Don’t focus so much on climbing the ladder in the organisational chart. Just serve people with a passionate heart and diligent spirit. God Himself will supervise you to be promoted without you doing anything bad to get it.
Anybody who wants to be saved (receive God’s kingdom in him) must do so as a child. The use of the word “child” speaks of the humble, receptive nature of children. You must humble yourself to hear the gospel and be saved like a child does when he wants to patiently receive a gift from his parent.
God loves and cares about you. But you must also learn to cast all your burdens on Him (see 1 Peter 5:7). Doing that is a sign of humility and reassurance of trust in God because you are reassured that He will never fail you. Never lose hope in the Lord.
God works according to His own times and seasons, so He can grant you some requests you place before Him faster than you thought, and for some, later than you expected. Don’t be angry at Him. Just take each day on as a step of faith, and occupy yourself with what you can do that day, never ceasing to trust God for the things you are praying for.
Be careful of what you say in your moments of excitement. It can cost you more than you imagine. Please do not go around making promises to people without having the capacity to do it. You’ll tarnish your name, and people will pick up on your words.
A servant of God will likely not be respected and treated with dignity and value when he goes to his own hometown. So, if you are experiencing that, don’t be surprised. If they did it to Jesus, they’ll do it to you also.
Ask yourself how much devotion you put into imbibing God’s Word. If you are a haphazard person, are not consistent with ministry, and have no prayer or Word-study life, then don’t think you’ll reap God’s results supplied by His Word. No! Things don’t work that way. Pay attention to God’s Word, understand what you’ve received and use it to work.
Nobody has become so good at something without receiving training, either from God or others. Work goes into every product before it comes out in its best state. In the same way, if you find yourself on the journey of success in whatever endeavour you may be in, just enjoy the process. In the end, things will turn out well for you.
If you sow in a plentiful way, you’ll reap large quantities of harvest. But if you sow in small quantities, you’ll still reap, but not that much. Therefore, sowing sparingly doesn’t yield many results, and since everyone desires to make it big time, it is not advisable to sow your seeds sparingly.
God, the creator of the whole universe, never sleeps nor slumbers. You may ask why? Well, because He is infinite in energy. He doesn’t need sleep to replenish lost energy because He is energy Himself.
Until you have taken personal Bible study seriously and delved deeper into the Bible, you’ll not know how awesome and spiritually satisfying it is to encounter revelations in it that will go a long way to change your life. Stop giving excuses for skipping the practice of personal Bible study. The world will not get any less busy. So, make time to be with God consistently.
If you are young and want to know what to do to stay on the path of purity, you only need to live according to God’s Word. And that’s a lot. Why? Because it requires you to be regular in your personal fellowship with God and active in ministry. That urge to live following God’s ways must be nurtured, so take responsibility for that.
Do you know that nothing really affects you unless you give your mind to it? People face issues every day. But the primary reason why some people come out victoriously in each challenge is because of their mindset. Once the devil gets your mind, he can mess up your life badly, and you must be on your guard against him.
To be more confident and doubtless in fulfilling your divine mandate, you need always to remember what God told you when you were beginning. When you feel like giving up, remember God’s promises. Have God ever forsaken you? Of course not! He is always with you, although you may not always be aware of His presence in your life.
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.
