The Bible says in Romans 16:25 that God is able to establish you. In other words, He can give you everything you need to enjoy life to the fullest, having no need, as you focus on fulfilling His vision for your life. And I’m sure that there are several believers, maybe not many, who are living in this realm of life. That can be your case too, dear child of God.
Many differences among ourselves are to help complement one another, not to stir up conflicts. Navigate your relationships with others well.
Today, because of the cleansing power in the blood of Christ, your choice of physical food is not a problem to God, except the one you are fully aware of that is dedicated to idols or the one harmful to your health.
If you constantly analyse what others do, you’ll always find fault. Instead of judging others, why don’t you allow God to let you know the various things that aren’t going on well in your life so you can deal with them?
The hallmark of your life as a believer is godly peace. Why? Because Jesus has given His peace to you (see John 14:27). That means any matter that doesn’t harness the peace of Christ in you shouldn’t get your attention.
You see, we are in the world but not of the world. But because we see what’s in the world more often, it’s crucial to constantly recline and remind ourselves of who we are in Christ, who is able to guide our lives in order.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
