Be in the Mood of Prayer Always
1 Thessalonians 5:17 doesn’t mean praying 247 every time. Instead, it means be in the mood of prayer always. In other words, keep conversing with God daily as you go about your life activities.
Put on the Cloth of Joy No Matter the Circumstance
What does 1 Thessalonians 5:16 tell us? It says we should rejoice always. Right? But look critically at the word “rejoice.” It’s a combination of two words: “re” and “joy.” Guess what it means? To consciously walk in joy. That is your responsibility, not God.
Be Patient with People
Dear Christian, you must be patient with people, especially when working with them. You must understand that every single individual is different on the face of this earth. As such, navigating relationships with others is a crucial thing to master.
Warn Those Who Are Idle and Disruptive
God’s supervisory system is so good that He doesn’t need anybody to check what each of His children is doing. When you work hard for Him, He sees it and rewards you based on His preferences. And if you’re lazy, you cannot bypass His watchful eyes.
Acknowledge Your Shepherd in the Lord
Do you acknowledge your shepherd in the Lord, or you don’t? When did you last surprise your pastor with a special gift he never saw coming? If you’ve not done that yet, you aren’t practising 1 Thessalonians 5:12 in your life, which is bad.
You Are a Child of the Light
You are God’s child, so you are a child of the light. And since there is no darkness in God, walking in God’s light means living a holy life devoid of any trace of evil, even in the heart.
God Did Not Call You to Be Impure
The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 4:7 that God did not call us to be impure. But what? To live a holy life. That’s a spiritual demand on each child of God’s life, including you.
How Do You Know God Is the One That Really Called You and Not Yourself?
One of the most profound questions in ministry, primarily targeted to young and upcoming ministers, is, “Did God call you”? I am writing this article to help anybody battling with the surety of his calling to ministry, and I hope you’ll get your answers after reading it.
Do Not Take Advantage of Your Fellow Believer in Christ
Instead of exploiting people, why don’t you help them? Speak unto their capacity. Minister the Word of Christ powerfully to them. Build each other up rather than tearing them down. God’s gifts in you are for the benefit of others, not for their exploitation.
It Is God’s Will for You to Abstain from Sexual Immorality
Because it’s written clearly in scripture that the world lies in wickedness (see 1 John 5:19), I can assure you that things won’t get better with immorality. It will get worse. So don’t look to the world for hope! Anchor your faith in Christ!
Live in Order to Please God
There is a purpose God created you to live for. And one of them is to live to express Jesus in every area of your life. You may not know how important this is, but I tell you, it is very essential. If every area of your life reflects Christ, think about how your life will be to the world. Devoid of any evil. Right?
Be Ever Thankful Unto God
The world will never be at a standstill. Things will keep moving, and you might get busier with time. Don’t be in a rush; live grateful unto God.
