Event Articles are a collection of articles released by our team to provide Biblical views on Christian events and other events happening around the world.
As a pastor, you don’t have to request any physical provision from your congregants. Let God do His work by touching their lives to bless you. But for you, focus on the work. Also, as a congregant reading this, consider factoring in some expenses in your budget purposely for your pastor. You’ll be fulfilling Scripture as you do this, and God will bless you.
You don’t have to give your children everything the ask for, especially if they see that you have lots of money. If you do that, you’ll grow a spirit of selfishness and greed in them, and they will likely not have enough wisdom to manage everything you provide for them.
There is one thing I want to say about mothers, predominantly Christian mothers. It’s how they keep praying for their children and husbands. It’s such an awesome practice. But there’s something called praying the right way for your child as a mother.
If you are in Zion (signifying those born again) and your life is too flexible (at ease or lazy), there’s something wrong. Why? In God’s kingdom, there is pressure to make advancements to establish God’s purposes on Earth. Don’t entertain laziness in your life.
Sometimes, God doesn’t remove the issue but rather empowers us to go through it. If Jesus never promised us a problem-free life, then surely it’s not every issue you’ll tell Him to remove from your life that He’ll listen to you. As a matter of fact, some are needed for your growth.
The fact that God allowed you to come to this world means you are needed. However, it is not everywhere you are needed. The colt was stuck at that tree because the One who needed it had not yet sent for it. Today, let me minister grace to you. Do not worry about your life because when it is your turn, nothing can stop God’s manifestation of His prophecies concerning your life.Â
What are you doing with your life that is keeping you busy with something unnecessary before God? Evaluate your life with this question, and chop off any engagement you’re involved in that is taking so much of your time but isn’t yielding any eternal benefit in God’s kingdom for you.
As you grow in what you do, there are times when you need to evaluate what is going on so you can correct your mistakes and make things better. Who knows, your key to enjoying the year would start like this?
What comes to mind when you think about preparing for a new year? To many, it feels like it’s time to reset. But a new year is more than the start of a new calendar and a series of things in your life. It’s about God opening a new chapter in your life, and you must be prepared for it.
As you celebrate Christmas, it’s expedient to remember that Jesus is the reason for this advent season, not food, winter or because of the day in the calendar. Without Jesus, there wouldn’t have been Christmas. So, once you celebrate it with Christ consciousness in mind, you’ll not be carried away by the festive activities of people but rather deepen your reverence for Jesus Christ.
You may have determined in your heart not to repeat your dad’s mistakes, which is good. But it won’t happen by merely making that decision in your mind. You need to work it out. Lead your home. Let your house serve the Lord–from yourself to your littlest kid.
Make your marital rest place more than merely a house but a home. And as a spinster, it’s less about depending on a man to come and marry you but more about how to obtain wisdom to build your home with your man in the future.
