There Is No Need to Chase Fantasies
Chasing fantasies is one of the most dangerous activities a person can ever do. It’s just like chasing the wind. You will get nowhere with it since the wind blows whichever way it wants.

For the Bible to say that the light of the righteous shines brightly means that your witnessing of Jesus Christ wherever you go is evident unto all. But things become blurry and dim when believers shut up and subscribe to things that lead them to compromise on their faith.
God isn’t a selfish God, so He isn’t concerned with providing needs for only you to survive. He wants to lavish you with many benefits, large enough to help others. So when you ask Him to supply you with provision, ask big.
Some people, oblivious of how hurtful they speak, ignore the need to check their mouths by being slow to speak. The scripture tells us in James 1:19 that we must be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. So, patience is extremely needed to keep your mouth in check.
Meaningful friends are scarce to find. Over time, life and circumstances have a way of seeding out light-hearted friends away from people’s lives, and when that happens to you, it is quite normal. However, for those who share your values and goals, make it a personal ambition to put in some effort to keep them. That is how you choose your friends.
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.
Your kind words have the capacity to lighten the burdens that weigh down the heart of that anxious person. You might overlook it, but it goes a long way to heal that person. Several people who committed suicide wouldn’t have done it if there was one person who encouraged them not to give up.
There is no issue, no problem or any life atrocity that happens that you cannot bear it. If you can’t, God won’t allow it to happen to you. By the way, did you know that sometimes, God allow certain things to happen in your life to reveal unto you that you are stronger than you think?
You must be intentional about sealing every area of your life with Christ, so you give no space to the enemy. Sometimes, side gigs to make you more busy solve this issue. But the ultimate solution is putting on Christ. Once you forget to do that, you give the devil space to exploit your time.
When you get born again, you have access to all the privileges in God’s grace. But God, in His wisdom, will deny you access to some of them so that you’ll grow in grace and knowledge of Him. And when that happens, it’ll be easy to manage that blessing when they start coming.
Offences are everywhere, especially in families, churches and workplaces. Nobody can prevent them from happening because Jesus said they are bound to come. So, even if you are the nicest person on Earth and a master of relationships with diverse kinds of people, you cannot prevent people from offending you or creating a mess among the people you fellowship with. So, focus on living in peace with people.
The elder son, who complained, failed to gather his share of the inheritance and enjoy some, even if he had opted to live elsewhere. Come on! Don’t be so engaged in working for God that you forget to enjoy his blessings in your life. Life isn’t all about work. Sometimes, make merry with some profits you have.
