There are laws in every country. Taking matters into your own hands to do evil against someone might end you in jail. Even if not, it might cause a break in a godly relationship such that it may be hard for you to recover again. Let your pain build forgiveness in your heart
As a minister of the gospel, don’t entertain procrastination in your workflow any day of your life. Discharge the duties of your ministry, whether people applaud you for what you do or not.
For older men in the church, when they do wrong things, it’s inappropriate to rebuke them publicly. Instead, you must call them aside and speak nicely to them about what they did and its effects so that they’ll not do it again. Using that correction method will make them listen because they’ll see you honour and respect them.
Don’t bend God’s principles to suit your way of life. You’ll be your own devil if you do that.
If you want to get rid of a tree, uproot it and forget about the leaves and branches. They’ll wither with time. Don’t focus on purifying your character. No! Go for the Word of God, and your life will become gradually transformed by the power of God.

God didn’t call you to preach yourself. He didn’t ordain you to teach anything contrary to His Word, including personal ones. Study the Bible, and preach the Word, in and out of season. By doing that, you’ll prevent many people listening to you from becoming you-focused to Christ-focused.
“For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.” — Isaiah 62:1 NIV We live in a wicked world (1 John 5:19), where many evil things happen to the […]
In Psalm 100:2, we’re charged as Christians to serve the Lord with gladness. The word “gladness” comes from the Hebrew word “śimchâh,” which means “joy.” You are supposed to serve the Lord with joy in your heart always. So whatever you do which has been dedicated unto God, do it with joy in your heart by the empowerment of grace.
