Are you a busy Christian so used to work that you don’t take time to celebrate your miracle? Don’t live like that. We live in a busy world. So, no matter what you do, work will never end. The more you work, the more the work. Therefore, sometimes, take some time off the everyday routine to rest and celebrate God’s works in your life.
This Christmas, what’s your focus? Is it on the plenty of food you will eat with your family or gifts you’ll receive from your loved ones? The food will fade away. The gifts will be used. The euphoria of the season will also go. But Jesus will remain Lord forever.
Are you letting what you’re going through or something unfortunate that happened to you to overshadow the joy of God’s presence in your life? Repent, friend.
Almost everybody learns to be gentle. But gentility can be expressed better by believers who walk in understanding. Why? Because such people know how to do it with sincere God-inspired love from the heart.
Enduring afflictions, either because of your faith or circumstances in life, is part and parcel of your life as a believer. But the most important thing to understand is that through it all, don’t lose hold of Jesus.
If you’re a ministry leader reading this, please insist on leading the church to evangelise to people. If you’re a Christian belonging to a church, never forget to preach Jesus to people who come around you or who you encounter in life. Enough of beating around the gospel. Hell must be depopulated. Play your part!
Weeping time is only when God’s presence seems missing in your life – where you have every reason to question God because things aren’t really working out as you want them to. But there’s good news: it has an expiry date. And that date isn’t in years, months or days. It’s when you discover God’s reason for doing things in His presence.
We live in an evil age, so tribulations abound. But Jesus has overcome the world. And once He lives in us (2 Corinthians 13:5), we’re also overcomers of the world. Our lives are different because of Christ in us.
The right reason for maintaining joy in ministry is the assurance that God will reward your work. So rejoice whether there are issues or not because God understands you. He hasn’t and will never forget your labour of love.
The accomplishments you’ve chalked in ministry are worth celebrating by you. Rejoice in yourself alone for that work because it’s worth it.
You ease the pressure and burden on your shepherd’s (pastor’s) mind when you obey his teachings of Jesus Christ and become submissive to the spiritual instructions that he gives you.
In Psalm 100:2, we’re charged as Christians to serve the Lord with gladness. The word “gladness” comes from the Hebrew word “śimchâh,” which means “joy.” You are supposed to serve the Lord with joy in your heart always. So whatever you do which has been dedicated unto God, do it with joy in your heart by the empowerment of grace.
