Find answers to several Bible questions while getting spiritually nourished with truth from scripture.
You are God’s righteousness in Christ (see 2 Corinthians 5:21). So, you are the one who cannot be shaken because your life is anchored and hidden with Christ in God (see Colossians 3:2). However, to enjoy the full benefits of this provision in Christ, you must walk in that consciousness (or be presentminded in the truth of God’s Word concerning your life).
People are living good lives, and some are having difficulties. If you feel that things have been late in your life, God has got you covered. He will come through for you. However, you must take steps to improve as you receive it from the Lord in prayer.
When David said, commit your way to the Lord, he meant that whatever you do, put the God factor in it. In other words, do not think everything and anything will work for your good just because you did it. You need God.
As a Christian, don’t make your pastor solely responsible for your discipleship. Set up systems and structures in your life that will allow you to spend a lot of quality time with the Lord. As you grow, you’ll get busier. So, start early, and it’ll help you in your faith journey.
As you grow in this life, remember that you must have a forward-looking mentality in Christ, regardless of the seasonal changes you may encounter. Learn to be adaptive to changes. Be faithful to God for what He has called you to do, irrespective of the issues you face. It can only get better with you, so hope in the Lord.
Whatever God has called you to do, you will not get it easy. There are hurdles that you need to overcome, challenges to confront, and a lot of behind-the-scenes responsibilities that you must take charge of. If you see any ministry, business or institution blossoming out there, I can tell you that people sacrificed a lot of time to build it.
How you respond to situations is crucial. If you weep so much about the issue, that won’t solve it. But when you find comfort in God and ask for His direction in approaching the solution, that is what will make the difference. You are allowed to weep when you face a challenge, but don’t let it get you so much that you don’t rise and take action.
God will lead you in the paths of righteousness, but not when you’ve not surrendered to His will. When you follow God, He won’t lead you to do things normally like everyone does. No! He is a great God, and His ways are past finding out. Stick to what His Word has said concerning your life, and don’t grumble about His leadership directions in your life.
Paul said in Philippians 3:7 that all the things that were gains to him, including his certificates, knowledge about the law and all that, have been counted as a loss in his life so he can gain Christ. That means that if anybody wants to know God more, there is a price to pay. There are things you must lose hold of if you want to get to the fullness of your calling.
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.
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.
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.
