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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
If you think the problems in your life will ever cease before you enjoy peace, you’re on an infinite wait period. Don’t do that! Enjoy God’s peace today, always being conscious of the truth that today is the day the Lord has made.
Don’t be selfish, dear one. Do not think your intercession is useless. It is very much needed in the body of Christ. You may never know how your little prayer for that believer you don’t know will provoke heaven to step up for his case. People are going through very tough situations in this world. Pray for them!
Dear one, calm down when it comes to service. God will always reward you for everything you do in ministry and service in the secular workplace. That reward of God will always be greater than what any man will ever give you.
Submit to one another as believers. But in your home, dear wife, submit to your own husband, not just any man or another person’s husband. Your husband has authority over your life, not any man.
Ephesians 5:16 says that as a believer, you must make the most of every opportunity. Why? Because the days are evil. Hence, living wisely in this perverse generation as ambassadors of Christ is very paramount.
No matter all the impure things you have done, call all of them out and tell God to cleanse your heart of filth. Only then will you live freely from evil thoughts.
It is so good to have a Father you look up to for your everyday guidance and provision. The next time you get to a point where you don’t know what to do, pray to God. Ask Him what Jesus would have done in your case, and when you get the reply, follow suit accordingly. Never live confused while you have a heavenly Father who listens to you. Keep in touch in your daily walk with Him!
