Many people preach salvation as an escape ticket away from hell. But how many times have you heard it preached as a gift from God to you? Ephesians 2:8 tells us that we, believers, are saved by grace through faith. That’s not all. It says this salvation is not of ourselves. Instead, it is the gift of God.

What comes to mind when the Bible says God is rich in mercy? Is it merely Him forgiving your sins and the sins of the whole world? Yes, that’s true. But it goes beyond that.

Dare to proclaim the gospel of Christ without fear. Do not fear what other people say about you because of your doctrine. If what you are preaching is the truth, carry on, minister. God sees your labour. Don’t give up!

It is not always easy. But with God on your side, it is well with you. Witness Jesus well wherever you are, no matter the situation. If he was with Paul and had helped his work remain relevant in this generation, then indeed, He has not neglected your secret labours. He will reward you well.

Just because you are born again doesn’t mean your life is going to be all flashy. Sometimes, bad things might happen that can pose severe threats to your faith, but that doesn’t mean God has left you. Learn how to comport yourself in honour of God, no matter what happens

Dear father, do not exasperate your child. In other words, do not intensely frustrate your child. If you keep doing something the child doesn’t like that is meant to fulfil your selfish need instead of the good of all parties involved, stop it. You represent Christ in the home. Be careful to do that work diligently.

Wisdom is a cornerstone of purposeful living, guiding you to make sound decisions, excel in your pursuits, and align with God’s will. It is not merely a trait to be admired but a spirit to be sought intentionally, cultivated through discipline, and rooted in the fear of the Lord.

If you don’t hate your body but love and cherish it, why don’t you love your wife so well that you’ll give her everything she needs, including your body and affection? God knew a time would come when believing husbands may falter in these things. That is why He institutionalised this command in the scriptures.

In marriage, the husband ought to submit to Christ, as the wife submits to him. But in God’s kingdom, it’s all unto Christ and one another in the same divine reverence. Why that?

Although not musical, Paul never forgot to tell us that we should speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. In those days, there was no Spotify, Apple Music, or music streaming platform to get songs. There weren’t even phones or advanced instruments like we have today. All that they had was their voices and a few instruments. But they managed to treasure the songs of the Spirit in their hearts. Today, you have a better life.

For the scripture to say, “Do not get drunk on wine,” then it means don’t take alcohol or any wine or drink with even the slightest alcoholic content in it. If you do, it’ll lead you to debauchery (meaning immorality), which is improper to be said about you.

Paul told the Ephesian church that they shouldn’t be unwise. Instead, they must be bent on understanding God’s will. Really? That means anybody who doesn’t understand God’s will will likely live a life lacking divine wisdom. And that is a terrible thing to behold.
