Sometimes, you must spend quality time with the Father alone, not just in a congregation. Other times, your family, particularly the nuclear one, ought to join you in lifting the Father high. But in any way, never underestimate how powerful it is to be in God’s presence alone.
If anyone rejects God’s servant, he rejects Jesus’ bride. In the same way, if you fail to honour your pastor’s wife, you’re disobeying God’s law of marriage because, according to Jesus, the two shall become one.
In this life, there are people struggling but cannot complain. Some are timid; they prefer living with situations for a long time without being bold enough to confront them. For such people, God’s Word says, speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. But how can you do that? It’s simple. Use your position of influence.
The Lord will be your light when you sit in darkness. When you get to a point in life you don’t know what to do, call upon Him. He will be there to give you divine direction.
Just as you expect the company you work for to pay you at the end of each month, honour your pastor willingly from your pocket. He is your teacher and instructor in God’s house.
To pay the price to focus on God, you’d have to let some relationships die in your life.
Never be so stringent on protecting your life that you’ll not allow God to flexibly instruct you to do things that are according to His ways.

It is never good to be partial to the wicked and deprive the innocent of justice. That means don’t place justice ahead of ungodly favour.
Be like the praying Epaphras, maybe not for another church but for yourself, your family and your ministry. I assure you that things will turn around for your good in ways unimaginable.
Dear Christian, your impact on the world won’t always be about preaching to people in church. It’ll mostly be evident in how you interact with the people you meet. Fill your mind with the Word of God, and you’ll be wise to interact with people well while leaving a godly impact on them.
