Like Joseph, who endured suffering before he was divinely exalted, those who remain steadfast will see God’s faithfulness. Lean on His grace, for it is sufficient. In the end, the sweet aftertaste of enduring love far outweighs the bitterness of temporary struggles. Keep loving Jesus; your perseverance will not go unrewarded.
Accent synchrony develops the moment people begin to do something together. It’s in churches, marriages, friendships, and even some workplaces. It is normal (and even beneficial), and there’s nothing wrong with it. But just as it can happen in good places, it also occurs in bad places.
You are more likely to have your friend stay with you for more extended periods of time than your own sibling. Treat it as normal, and don’t think your siblings don’t love you. They do, but will likely show their best only when bad things happen.
No scripture has barred believers from liking these things. But we are told not to love them. That is, we shouldn’t allow the presence or absence of these things in our lives to be of so much concern to us that it takes away our love for the things of the world.
Money is a tool, not a god. When you trust in God more than in gold, you protect your faith and secure your future. Let us not be driven by greed but guided by grace.
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.
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?
When the scripture says live in harmony with one another, God isn’t saying that you’ll not have problems with people. No! He knows you will, including the one you are married to (or will marry in future). He knows you will face problems with colleagues at the workplace, fellow believers in church, and other people from various areas of life. But He is telling you to be wise in how you live with them.
Just as human relationships thrive on devotion and care, our relationship with God flourishes when we prioritise Him in all we do. The question remains—do you love the Lord? If so, let your actions and heart’s posture reflect that love daily.
Dear one, be decent with how you use money. Pay the price to gain financial wisdom, especially from the Bible and Christian business people, and be conscious of your integrity before the Lord.
You are not God’s co-equal. He existed even before the beginning of time. So, if He chastises you, you should take it seriously.
When the devil knows God is up to something great in your life, he works very hard to bombard your life with many bad things just to distract your focus. He knows that if he can get you distracted, he can make you forsake God’s providential way. So, knowing this very well, you have to employ a lot of wisdom and discretion in your walk with God and your relationship with others.
