Where Do You Store Your Treasures?
Where do you store your treasures? In heaven (the Spirit realm) or on earth? Choose the former because that is the solid foundation upon which you can get the latter without pressures from the world.
Keeping God’s Commands Is What Counts
Knowledge has increased, and many believers know that being born again isn’t dependent on sets of dos and don’ts. Circumcision still counts, but God does it to the heart. Don’t let people’s doctrines deceive you.
Settle Issues Among Believers in the Church, Not the World
Understand this, dear child of God. If the Bible says you shall judge angels and the world (see 1 Corinthians 6:2-3), why should you allow unbelieving judges in courts to settle disputes you have with others in the church?
Distinguish Yourself from Hypocritical Believers
Hypocritical people are usually hard to notice at the onset. Because attitude is like pregnancy, it shows off fully with time. Accept people as Christ accepted you. But distinguish yourself from hypocritical believers who act like sheep on the outside but are actually wolves on the inside.
The Kingdom of God Is a Matter of Power
When electricity is present, many focus on using it. The moment it goes off, the impact is heavily felt. The kingdom of God functions in the same way. It is a matter of power, not mere words. But that power seems invisible and ineffective in a believer’s life until he understands it and learns how to use it effectively.
The Secret Sufferings of the Minister of God
Paul listed some of the secret sufferings he listed in 1 Corinthians 4. But you may say Paul laboured very hard. Yes, he did, but it cost him a lot. The same can happen to you, especially for those who want to command a higher height of impact in ministry. It takes work to be successful in ministry. So pay the price for it. God is with you!
Live as a Believer No Matter Your Situation
You may be an employee in a toxic workplace where sin is seen as normal. But can you maintain the integrity of Christ even in that place? Nobody may recognise it when you do something wrong there. But remember that God is watching you. The standard is Jesus, not any man. So live clean before the Lord.
God Is Able to Establish You
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.
Accept One Another as Christ Accepted You
Many differences among ourselves are to help complement one another, not to stir up conflicts. Navigate your relationships with others well.
Nothing Is Unclean in Itself
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.
Stop Passing Judgment on Another Believer’s Life
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?
Don’t Quarrel Over Disputable Matters
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.
