God is light. But this God lives in each believer in Christ. And in 1 John 4:8, the Bible says God is love. That means every believer who has God, the light, in him automatically has His love. So, when such a believer expresses love for his brother (or sister) in the Lord, it is a testimony that he abides in the light of God.
John was offended to see his ministry diminish as Jesus’ own flourishes. Unfortunately, that is how many minister’s lives end up like. They can’t bear the news of seeing someone they started with grow in ministry past theirs. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on the account of Jesus’ work in other people’s lives.
Don’t destroy yourselves as brethren, especially in the same church. The devil capitalises on these things to make people shun fellowship, and once fellowship is missing, he starts leading them to do rebellious things. Learn to forgive people very quickly and move on in your faith journey.
In Galatians 1:4, the Bible says Jesus gave Himself for our sins so that He might deliver us from this present evil age according to the will of God. That means a lot. Find out more in this devotional.
To make every effort to live in peace with everyone is not just a biblical commandment; it is a way of bringing people together. Peace is, therefore, not merely the absence of conflict but an active choice you must make daily. It requires conscious effort, grace, and a willingness to forgive others without recording wrongs.
To get rid of bitterness, you must expunge holding on to offences in your heart. That means you ought to forgive people as quickly as possible whenever they offend you. If you don’t do it, you’ll give the devil the chance to make you meditate on your pain instead of God’s forgiveness.
Every servant of God needs divine fire to do what God has anointed him to do. That fire is called “spiritual fervour”. Want to learn how to keep your spiritual fervour as you serve God? Here are three proven scriptural ways of doing it.
There is no need to live according to men’s expectations. But when you focus on living a godly life, your life will testify that Jesus transforms lives. Let the light of Christ in you shine so brightly that onlookers will find no fault in your life and give glory to God.
God’s love has no loopholes. So don’t demonstrate it to some sect of people and leave others. Let me tell you something. Many people tagged as evil are hurting people who just need help. Love God and love people too.
By prioritising your spiritual fervour, prayer, consistent fasting, and forgiveness, you can maintain the strength and joy needed to serve God faithfully.
There is no smoke without fire. That implies there is a reason behind any happening in life. Things don’t just happen. So instead of joining others to say bad things about others, wait for patience to calm quarrels.
Are you beating yourself up because of the bad things you’ve done this year or so far? I want you to brace yourself up, accept Jesus (if you’re not born again) or rededicate your life to God so that He will clear your old path.
