The Bible says in Romans 13:10 that love does no harm to a neighbour. So, as God’s beloved, because He, who is love, lives in you, you have divine enablement to live without even thinking of doing anything evil against another person.
Only God can give you balance in life. Only He can ensure that your life knows no lack and that you are completely at rest and experiencing growth in every area of it. So, if you want to live in God’s delight, pursue a deeper intimacy with Him to know Him better and ask for wisdom to manage your life and anything He has given you well.
Dear friend, the Bible speaks about us believers putting up as much effort as possible to prioritise living in peace with all people (see Hebrews 12:14). So when you promote controversies, hold on to arguments and refuse to forgive people, you hurt yourself when you do that. In fact, it’s even difficult to live when you’re always having issues with people. Medically speaking, it doesn’t promote heart health.
If you are a congregant, please hear this. Study your Bible, and pray consistently and fast even when the church doesn’t proclaim it. If you are a preacher, fellowship with God and teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine to the people God has entrusted you to shepherd. For it is time the children of God witness Christ well in this crooked generation.
Have you ever wondered why evil things continue to thrive in this generation? It’s because the devil – the chief enemy, never gets tired of giving those ideas to such people. If you don’t stand firm in the principles of God’s Word, the world will offer you distractive content, ideas and offers to sway you from living in purity. But every day, you have the choice to choose Jesus every day.
Jesus will never be unfaithful to you. He is not like man who says one thing and changes his mind the next minute. No! He is constant. He isn’t subject to change like how currency conversions change. He is the Lord of your life. Stick to following His ways because He will never leave nor forsake you.
Child of God, you ought to live wisely in this perverse generation. You shouldn’t leave your labour to know the Lord intimately to chance. Because, I tell you, it won’t happen by automation. And the more you know God, the more you will be free from deception. May the Lord be your light.
Jesus said if a tree is good, then its fruit is good. Consequently, if a tree is bad, its fruit will also be bad. Interpreting this in relation to people’s behaviour implies that a sinner remains a sinner because sin is inherent in him. But the saved are righteous because God confers His righteousness to those who accept Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour (see Romans 10:9).
Usually, people think those tagged as evil don’t need the message of salvation. But I tell you, they do. If that politician doesn’t receive Christ, won’t the devil manipulate their minds to govern the nation in evil ways, which will, in turn, affect us believers? Don’t be deceived, dear preacher. Evangelising to people, no matter their status in life is very important.
Since Jesus gave these gifts to men, it’s clear that not everyone in Christ has the same gift. 1 Corinthians 7:7 tells us that each has his own gift in Christ. So, if the gifts are diverse, then each believer’s function in the body of Christ is different. That means that when it comes to ministry, some will represent Christ using their gifts in full-time ministry and others in the lay ministry.
In Christ, Jesus is your Lord. So you are under His authority. You must live like Him. But the good news is that He knows you cannot do that on your own strength. So what? He gives you the grace to live like Him.
Did you know that suffering for Christ is part of your faith journey? Telling believers that their faith journey isn’t always full of bliss is wise, so that they’ll not have an imbalanced view of their walk in Christ.
