When the devil tempts you and tries to make sin enticing to you in your mind, you must rise quickly to resist him steadfastly in the faith. Why? Because he is after awakening your sinful flesh (which God had put to death) and also misleading you away from God’s ways to the way of death(destruction).
The Bible says clearly in 1 Corinthians 13:5 that love keeps no record of wrongs. When you read the New King James Version of that part of the scripture, it uses “think no evil” in place of “keeps no record of wrongs.” What does that mean? It implies that when you keep remembering the offences your offenders do to you, the spirit of vengeance will keep bombarding your mind with evil things to do to pay back evil to your offenders. Think about that for a moment!
Solomon gave simple advice to all young people in Ecclesiastes 11:9. He said that as a young person, just be happy and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and chase after what you see. But while doing all these things, know that God will bring you into judgment.
As a child of God, know that the Holy Spirit is inside you. Your body is His temple (see 1 Corinthians 6:19). That means, with His help, you can devise ways and means to control your body in sanctification (consecration or purity of your heart and life) and honour (value).
Nobody can plunge the faith of Christ in your spirit out. But for suffering in the flesh (physical life) because of that same faith, blessed are you when you go through them.
The worldly people will keep failing to give the right solutions to problems. Therefore, as a child of God, possess the consciousness of becoming a solution provider to issues, not an addition to trouble anywhere you go.
Deliberate sinning has been a concern among many new converts. That is because such people are of a school of thought that there are some things one must do to prevent the loss of one’s salvation. But is that doctrine true?
Suicide is never the solution to remorse. Talk to the brethren about your issues. Don’t keep your struggle to yourself and suffer for nothing.
God encourages us to get wisdom (see Proverbs 4:7). Because He knows when divine wisdom is available in the mind of His children, they’ll live unto Him and keep their tongues in check, which will, in turn, help keep their whole body in check.
What happens when you confess your trespasses to one another in Christ is that wise people in the Lord will help you overcome them, pray for you and teach you the ways of God to live in victory.
One of the ways to appease someone’s heart after grieving him is to give the person a gift secretly. It can be a private phone call, text message expressing an apology or a short note. Whatever it is, your goal should be keeping destiny relationships intact no matter what.
Just because you’re saved doesn’t mean the battle to put away fleshly desires the devil suggests to you has ceased. Give no chance to the devil. Don’t say you’ll live pure in God’s house and do evil deeds outside it. No! God is omnipresent. He’s always with you, so live as you’ll do in Christ regardless of location.
