Life Is More Than Food
Make up your mind that you’ll think about having everything in abundance so you can share with those in need and not think about yourself and your family alone. May the Lord help you to be more impactful with your work.
Handling Disagreements in Ministry Properly
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.
The Deception of Following After Worldliness
There are two primary paths in life, each requiring sacrifice. If you sacrifice your life for Jesus by becoming more committed to ministry, you’ll find more relevance in it, plus additional eternal rewards in heaven. But if you run away from ministry and follow after worldliness, you’ll get what you pursued but, ultimately, lose your life to keep them.
Doubt Is a Brother of Distraction
Distractions from focusing on God’s Word of truth open the way for doubts to set in. And if you don’t deal with it, it can affect your productivity with God’s Word. Get out of your comfort zone and believe what God has said concerning your life without wavering.
Whoever Does Not Have Will Lose What He Has by Default
If God has blessed you with something, and you are trivialising it so much that you tend to mishandle it, it’s only a matter of time before you start losing it. Don’t treat anything God has given you so lightly.
Whoever Has Will Be Given More
When you are faithful to what God has trusted you with, He will give you more things to handle. That is why one of the most assured ways of growth in ministry and business is how faithfully you shepherd the few souls you start with and the few customers you get from the beginning. I tell you, it pays to be faithful.
Guard the Word Sown in Your Heart
Guard the Word sown in your heart, whether you receive it via a sermon in church, personal Bible Study or through a ministry media content. If you don’t guard it and you allow other things to distract you, the devil will steal it from you.
The Mouth Speaks What the Heart Is Full of
When you are interacting with someone and the person utters harsh words in times of anger, it could be that those words were already prepared to be said in the heart before the situation happened. Indeed, the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. So, to keep your words clean, don’t entertain bitterness in your heart.
A Tree Is Recognized by Its Fruit
When a person is pretending to be born again and tries mingling with the church but, in essence, is not born again, that is hypocrisy. To spot such a person, you need to check their behaviour. Ensure that everybody gets access to the gospel of grace.
Marriage — A Tool to Fight Sexual Immorality
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
Invest in Building Lasting Relationships
Invest in building lasting relationships with people, especially your close friends. You cannot always prevent an offence from happening, either from your end or theirs. But you can always choose to forgive and live peaceably with all men.
Be Patient When Judging Cases Between People
As a believer, you are eligible to judge cases, especially those concerning relationship problems. Because of this privilege God has given you, you must be patient when judging cases between people. Don’t say person A is right or person B is wrong if you haven’t heard the two sides of the story.
