Palm Sunday – Its Significance to the Child of God
Palm Sunday comes off every Sunday before Easter Sunday in the Christian calendar. And if it has tarried to date, then it must be significant in God’s calendar for all believers to celebrate it.
The Gospel Is Not Chained
Don’t give excuses to God for not doing His work, no matter the issues in your life. Even in a tight environment, there is always a way to go about God’s work. Don’t cease asking God for direction when circumstances prove otherwise to what He has placed in your heart to do.
Do Not Neglect the Ministry of the Word and Prayer
When you neglect your fellowship with God, every other area in your life will begin to decrease in productivity because divine strength will be missing. Labour well in building and maintaining an excellent administrative system in your ministry, and you’ll be free from excessive administrative work distractions.
How Precious Is One Soul to God?
Many individuals live life feeling as though they are unnoticed, unimportant, or unappreciated, which is very disheartening. Dear friend, you are precious to God. That is why He has individual plans for you (see Jeremiah 29:11). Don’t belittle yourself!
Preach the Gospel to all Nations
As believers, God has called us to preach the gospel to all nations. Maybe you thought the divine calling applies exclusively to pastors or people in full-time ministry, but it’s not. As we have accepted Christ as our saviour and are part of the body of Christ, it is our divine mandate to spread the good news in whatever way we can.
Beware of Lingering Doctrines
As a child of God, your primary source of doctrine for your life is the Word, not cultural beliefs, racial beliefs or even your own experiences. Again, it is the Word of God. So, you must submit to God’s Word every day and use it for your decisions.
The Joy of Celebrating 25th December with Jesus in Focus
This Christmas, what’s your focus? Is it on the plenty of food you will eat with your family or gifts you’ll receive from your loved ones? The food will fade away. The gifts will be used. The euphoria of the season will also go. But Jesus will remain Lord forever.
Hearing Scripture Is Beneficial for Your Spiritual Growth
While it is laborious to sit to read and study scripture, hearing it for yourself, especially through audio Bibles, throughout your day can nourish your spirit so much. Keep studying the Word. But study to encounter God, not to just know it.
Handling Criticism as a Minister
As a follower of Christ, you must learn the art of handling criticism. No matter what you do, they’ll come. People will craft stories about you merely to defame your name and the Jesus you profess. But the good news is that those people didn’t call you; God did.
Preach What God Teaches You
Preach what God teaches you, not what you think. Your preaching will be devoid of any mix of heresy when you refuse to mix it with your own philosophies and ideologies. Jesus is enough. Preach Him!
Have Compassion for Souls
Whether you’re an ordained pastor or a servant in the Lord’s house, reaching out to others with the message of Christ is your responsibility. You have been given the message of reconciliation to live as an ambassador of Christ (see 2 Corinthians 5:18-20).
Spread Your Impact
Preaching is like spreading seed on the ground. Some will grow well, and others won’t. That is why servants of God must care less how slow or fast each member under their spiritual care grows in the Lord. It is not your duty, dear man of God. But don’t stop preaching!
