The Cravings of the Flesh
The Holy Spirit carries what you need to live above sin. So when you are born again, and He comes to live in you, you will receive divine enablement to live unto God. Don’t try to live in God’s way without Him.
We Have Redemption in Christ Through His Blood
We had sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (see Romans 3:23). But God didn’t leave us in that state. No! His love for us transcended beyond our offence against Him. So, what did He do? He made Jesus come to die and take away the sin of the world (see John 1:29, Romans 3:24). Today, because of the redeeming power of Christ’s blood, you are set free from sin as God’s child.
Don’t Destroy Yourselves as Brethren
Don’t destroy yourselves as brethren, especially in the same church. The devil capitalises on these things to make people shun fellowship, and once fellowship is missing, he starts leading them to do rebellious things. Learn to forgive people very quickly and move on in your faith journey.
You Are Called to Be Free
Your usage of your freedom in Christ will constantly be tested, and you must be determined to let God win the battle at every time. You’ll often receive offers, even huge ones, to engage in evil without anyone watching you. But remember, God is with you. So, just as you are called to be free, update your mind to do what the Word says so that God will always be proud of you.
You Are a Child of the Promise
According to Galatians 3:29, the Bible says if you belong to Christ, then you’re Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise. That implies that once you have Christ, you qualify to partake in all the Abrahamic blessings of the covenant. So, you are a child of the promise.
Make Sure Your Ministry Doesn’t Get Discredited
Make sure your ministry doesn’t get discredited based on what you do in secret and public. Don’t practice evil things secretly, and think God isn’t watching you. Again, keep labouring effectively to ensure that God’s work prospers in your hands. Serving the Lord is not always easy, but it is worth it.
The Love of God Never Fails
According to 1 Corinthians 13:8, it is only the love of God that never fails. The rest of the top pillars people think they won’t fail, such as prophecies, tongues-speaking, and knowledge, can’t be totally dependent on. For prophecies, they will cease. For tongues speaking, the Bible says a time will come when it’ll be stilled (or quietened). Then, for knowledge (general intelligence), it shall also pass away. Just think about this.
Love Does No Harm to a Neighbour
The Bible says in Romans 13:10 that love does no harm to a neighbour. So, as God’s beloved, because He, who is love, lives in you, you have divine enablement to live without even thinking of doing anything evil against another person.
Only God Can Give You Balance in Life
Only God can give you balance in life. Only He can ensure that your life knows no lack and that you are completely at rest and experiencing growth in every area of it. So, if you want to live in God’s delight, pursue a deeper intimacy with Him to know Him better and ask for wisdom to manage your life and anything He has given you well.
Be Wise in Dealing with Divisive People
Divisive people don’t have good character. They need transformation, and only God can do that. However, to prevent yourself from getting influenced by their toxic behaviour, you are required not to be close to them. Remember that bad company corrupts good morals (see 1 Corinthians 15:33). So guard your spiritual sanity by abstaining from divisive people.
Avoid Foolish Controversies
Dear friend, the Bible speaks about us believers putting up as much effort as possible to prioritise living in peace with all people (see Hebrews 12:14). So when you promote controversies, hold on to arguments and refuse to forgive people, you hurt yourself when you do that. In fact, it’s even difficult to live when you’re always having issues with people. Medically speaking, it doesn’t promote heart health.
Always Be Gentle Towards Everyone
Did you know that gentility is a cherished virtue in the world today? Ask shopkeepers, and they’ll tell you how essential that is to keeping customers. As a believer, your gentle way of life is a solid way to portray the gospel even to unbelieving people. Treat people well, and you will win many souls unto the Lord.
