Written mainly by our president Andrews, The Bible Daily Network produces Knowing God Devotional, an online daily devotional released on our website and socials. Find out the latest releases of our devotional content below.
When you pray, have faith for what you are praying for. Don’t pray telling God about your problems, and go back to worrying about the same issues you prayed about. It’s a disservice to yourself if you engage in that practice.
Solomon, in Ecclesiastics 12:12 did say that too much study is wearisome to the flesh, not to your spirit. So, in no way does Ecclesiastes 12:12 tell you to put limits on getting divine knowledge. That is why there’s nowhere in scripture that tells you to limit your pursuit to know God better.
Dear parent, your young boy or girl may be battling with certain addictions you are not even aware of. The best way to secure that child’s future is to teach him to remember his creator in the days of his youth. On the other hand, ensure your children love church right from their infancy. It’ll establish them in God.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:10 that as a young person, you need to banish anxiety from your heart. In other words, feel free to do whatever you like in those years of your life, only remembering that God will bring you into judgment.
One of the most exciting things about being a youth is that you can do so much in those years. Some people use those times to engage in secular entertainment, adversely affecting them later in life. Others use those years to know God more intimately, which pays off later in life. Choices are more powerful than what statistics say. So, to you, as a youth reading this, what are you doing with your life?
God can make you wise also, if and only if you ask Him (see James 1:5). Why? Because God wants more people to be impacted by His Word. So, don’t be satisfied with constantly receiving from the Lord’s servants; also, be conscious of giving out gracious words to others.
Every successful business person can attest that it takes a lot of diligence to establish his company in whichever industry he’s working in. There’s nothing that easy on this earth to do. Even if you are living purposefully and doing exactly what God called you to do, you must be diligent.
Don’t be caught in a web succumbing to unending addictions. Sometimes, withdraw and think about where your life is going with such addictions. If it is bad, get back on track with God, lest you jeopardise your future.
Many people have not accelerated high above their financial goals because they spend much of what they earn on unnecessary things. If you are one of such people, you need discipline. But this discipline I’m talking about isn’t the one that is self-motivated but God-inspired.
Are you questioning why many ideas you’ve kept conceiving in your heart haven’t been turned into fruition? It is not because they aren’t good. But there’s a higher providence in God called God’s purpose for your life. That thing supersedes every plan you make. So, it is actually better to consult God to show You His plan for your life so you can use that revelation to make your plans, rather than planning and bringing it to God to validate it for you.
God ensures His churches and Christian organisations hold consistent meetings, release resources, like this devotional you are reading, and do more outreach because people have to be spiritually well-fed with sound doctrine.
Proverbs 19:15 tells us that laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless (idle person) goes hungry. That means a person is bound to go hungry when he subjects his life to laziness. Think about this. Do you think God gave you all the talents, abilities and spiritual gifts to let it remain dormant in you? Of course not. You have no excuse for being lazy.
Seal every part of your life with the work and Word of God. Leave no area unattended. If you are working, be diligent. And if you are married, be a good spouse there, too. Whatever you add to your life, organise it well to oversee every area of it.
How many people walk around every day wanting to get what their fellow friends have? They see a fellow having a car and start envying the person. Really? Where is that contentment spirit that prevented people from following unreasonable ideas?
God wants you to thrive, and peace plays an important role. Live in peace with others as far as it depends on you. Do your possible best to foster peace in your interpersonal relationships. It will help you stabilise your life.
Don’t bring selfish ambitions to team gatherings. It doesn’t help. Yes, God can give you extraordinary visions to pursue, which is good because it will not make you settle for less. But learn how to separate such ambitions from your team activities and pursue them as God gives you the enablement.
The Bible says that the moment Judas Iscariot took that thirty pieces of silver, he focused on seeking an opportunity to betray Jesus (see Matthew 26:16). So, anytime he went to join the team, his mind shifted from listening to Jesus’ teachings. That implies taking bribes can destroy your focus. If you are a team member in an organisation reading this, don’t join anybody within the organisation to do something evil; otherwise, it’ll affect you later in life.
Solomon said that he who sleeps at the time he’s supposed to use his hands to work will have poverty coming upon him like a prowler (a person who moves stealthily about or loiters near a place with a view of committing a crime). In addition to that, such a person’s needs will increase. So, I counsel you, dear reader, that don’t entertain sleep when it is time to work.
