Submit to One Another Out of Reverence for Christ
In marriage, the husband ought to submit to Christ, as the wife submits to him. But in God’s kingdom, it’s all unto Christ and one another in the same divine reverence. Why that?
Sing and Make Music from Your Heart to the Lord
Although not musical, Paul never forgot to tell us that we should speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. In those days, there was no Spotify, Apple Music, or music streaming platform to get songs. There weren’t even phones or advanced instruments like we have today. All that they had was their voices and a few instruments. But they managed to treasure the songs of the Spirit in their hearts. Today, you have a better life.
Do Not Get Drunk on Wine
For the scripture to say, “Do not get drunk on wine,” then it means don’t take alcohol or any wine or drink with even the slightest alcoholic content in it. If you do, it’ll lead you to debauchery (meaning immorality), which is improper to be said about you.
Understand What the Will of The Lord Is
Paul told the Ephesian church that they shouldn’t be unwise. Instead, they must be bent on understanding God’s will. Really? That means anybody who doesn’t understand God’s will will likely live a life lacking divine wisdom. And that is a terrible thing to behold.
Wake Up, Oh Sleeper
Unbelievers’ spirits are insensitive to God’s promptings. Such people are asleep and are in the power of darkness (see Colossians 1:13) because their lives are under the control of the evil one. Unto such people, the scripture tells them to wake up and rise from the dead (spiritual inactivity before God), and then Christ will shine on them.
Be Strong in the Mighty Power of God
God is good and wants the best for each of His children. But He knows we live in an evil age where many people have identity crises. That is why He wants us to be strong. You must insist on who you are everywhere you go, lest others deceive you with empty words and try changing your godly convictions.
Let Nobody Deceive You with Empty Words
We live in a world that is constantly evolving new things. That means ideas are at the forefront of many people’s minds. And that’s not a problem. But some people are vain talkers. These are those who deceive others with empty words as promises but do nothing in the end. Beware of those people. Not everything that glitters is gold.
It Will Take Some Time to Reap Your Seed of Good Works
[9] “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) Gone were the days when a person wanted to send a letter to someone, he would have to use the post office, for […]
You Must Sow Before You Can Reap
Dear one, if you want something in your life, especially something costly, do not think you will get it for free. You are going to pay for it. Sometimes, the price you pay for such things may not necessarily be money, but others, like time and very hard godly sacrifice.
No Believer Should Seek His Own Good But the Good of Others
God is raising you not just because of you but also for the others connected to you. Don’t be selfish, thinking life is all about you and what you desire to get for yourself and probably your small family. No! Think big.
Be Determined to Finish Your Course Strong
As soon as you are saved, God sets you on a race of faith in Christ. That is why Hebrews 12:2 says Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith. So, because of that, you must be determined to finish your course strong in the Lord. Maybe let me break it down.
Hope Deferred Makes the Heart Sick
No matter how nice a boss, a company, or anything your life depends on, never put your hope in there. Always trust in the Lord to fulfil your needs.
