We live in a world that is constantly evolving new things. That means ideas are at the forefront of many people’s minds. And that’s not a problem. But some people are vain talkers. These are those who deceive others with empty words as promises but do nothing in the end. Beware of those people. Not everything that glitters is gold.
[9] “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) Gone were the days when a person wanted to send a letter to someone, he would have to use the post office, for […]
Dear one, if you want something in your life, especially something costly, do not think you will get it for free. You are going to pay for it. Sometimes, the price you pay for such things may not necessarily be money, but others, like time and very hard godly sacrifice.
God is raising you not just because of you but also for the others connected to you. Don’t be selfish, thinking life is all about you and what you desire to get for yourself and probably your small family. No! Think big.
As soon as you are saved, God sets you on a race of faith in Christ. That is why Hebrews 12:2 says Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith. So, because of that, you must be determined to finish your course strong in the Lord. Maybe let me break it down.
No matter how nice a boss, a company, or anything your life depends on, never put your hope in there. Always trust in the Lord to fulfil your needs.
Dear one, know that God did not save you to come and sit in the church doing nothing. You are a part of God’s workforce. The Bible says you are His workmanship (see Ephesians 2:10). Refuse to be lazy in ministry!
Dear child of God, understand that your way of life, which is holy before God, will always be seen as of no value before the unbelievers in the world. You cannot keep close associates with unbelievers because they will never recognise your value, except when God touches their hearts to receive the gospel in power. Guard your life and mind from listening to foolish talk from people who don’t see the worth involved in serving the Lord with gladness.
Any believer who thinks preaching is just a mere logical presentation but not a powerful demonstration of God’s power gradually sends a message to his hearers that the cross is useless. Beware of such people, especially in the media-saturated world we live in.
Any person’s mind governed by sin and its desire to indulge in it lives in a corrupt state before God. Such a person won’t appreciate how valuable spiritual things in Christ are in life. That is why they are unbelievers. They need Jesus, and who is going to preach to them? You, the one Jesus has sent.
Sometimes, if you want to pray, you may feel tired. But let me tell you that you not in the flesh to be weakened by it. No! You are in the Spirit (see Romans 8:9). So, when you take spiritual matters seriously, the strength of Christ in your spirit will override your weakened flesh, for God to help you do the impossible.
Pray for your leader. Honour your boss. Respect your senior pastor. There are many battles such people fight daily to ensure that your security as a team member or shepherd is not compromised. Don’t join anyone to speak against such people.
