Did you know that gentility is a cherished virtue in the world today? Ask shopkeepers, and they’ll tell you how essential that is to keeping customers. As a believer, your gentle way of life is a solid way to portray the gospel even to unbelieving people. Treat people well, and you will win many souls unto the Lord.
Because the salvation dimension of God’s grace has appeared to all men, nobody has an excuse to say, “I didn’t hear the gospel, so I didn’t know I have to get born again” before death or on the second coming of Christ.
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 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.
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.
If anybody sets aside God’s gracious work of grace through Jesus and thinks he can obey all the laws of the Old Testament in his own strength, God will judge him based on that. And even if the Israelites couldn’t follow the laws, how much more that person? Accept that you need God and live humbly under His mighty hand.
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.
God loved you so much that He sent Jesus to come and die for you. So, what makes you think you’re less valuable before Him? It doesn’t matter how bad people have treated you for years. Maybe your parents haven’t taken care of you since infancy. But today, let it be registered in your consciousness that God loves you.
It’s sad to say that many Christians are professing the name of Christ but are plunged into deep idolatry. They go to church but spend more time doing things that don’t please God in their homes and with their devices. Today, if you are one of such people, there is a warning from scripture that purge idolatry from your life.
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!
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.
