Accept One Another as Christ Accepted You
Many differences among ourselves are to help complement one another, not to stir up conflicts. Navigate your relationships with others well.
Dare to Proclaim the Gospel Without Fear
Dare to proclaim the gospel of Christ without fear. Do not fear what other people say about you because of your doctrine. If what you are preaching is the truth, carry on, minister. God sees your labour. Don’t give up!
Wake Up, Oh Sleeper
Unbelievers’ spirits are insensitive to God’s promptings. Such people are asleep and are in the power of darkness (see Colossians 1:13) because their lives are under the control of the evil one. Unto such people, the scripture tells them to wake up and rise from the dead (spiritual inactivity before God), and then Christ will shine on them.
The Foolishness of God Is Wiser Than Human Wisdom
Dear child of God, understand that your way of life, which is holy before God, will always be seen as of no value before the unbelievers in the world. You cannot keep close associates with unbelievers because they will never recognise your value, except when God touches their hearts to receive the gospel in power. Guard your life and mind from listening to foolish talk from people who don’t see the worth involved in serving the Lord with gladness.
Christ Sent You to Preach the Gospel in Power
Any believer who thinks preaching is just a mere logical presentation but not a powerful demonstration of God’s power gradually sends a message to his hearers that the cross is useless. Beware of such people, especially in the media-saturated world we live in.
The Mind Governed by the Flesh Is Death
Any person’s mind governed by sin and its desire to indulge in it lives in a corrupt state before God. Such a person won’t appreciate how valuable spiritual things in Christ are in life. That is why they are unbelievers. They need Jesus, and who is going to preach to them? You, the one Jesus has sent.
Watch Out That Nobody Deceives You
Be on guard every day, especially in what you hear online. It is not everyone who preaches the gospel preaches the truth. Do not give attention to anyone who does not acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, for that person is a liar. Guard your ears and eyes, lest you be deceived by false messiahs.
Warn a Divisive Person in Christ
God, in His own wisdom, does not have any problem with us having more churches. Why? Because the Body of Christ consists of several components, and each part has its own duty. What ministry A is commissioned by God to do may be different from that of ministry B. However, the distinction in divine mandate should not bring diversity to spiritual understanding.
Position Your Spirit to Receive the Gospel
There are some things you should not do when God’s Word is being preached. One of them is having a divided attention; another important one is looking unto the preacher with a familiar mindset. For that, avoid it at all costs.
Despisers of the Anointing
Sometimes, it’s better to ignore studying the background of a servant of God, especially those you are close with, listen to, or probably work with. Knowing too much of their private formative lives can breed familiarity in your heart, and you’ll be the one to lose. Be careful in how you relate with God’s servants.
Serve God in the New Way of the Spirit
You are to serve God in the new way of the Spirit. That new way of the Spirit for divine service doesn’t have specific human rules attached to it. No! The guide is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
Do Not Be Ashamed of the Gospel
Do not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, including you and me. If the Gospel has helped you and changed your life for good, then don’t be afraid to stand for and defend it.
