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.
Jesus has eternal life, so when He saves you and His Spirit comes to dwell in you (see Romans 8:9), you get access to this life.
Never let the devil talk you out of God’s love for you. Do not let Him lie to you that God has given up on you. He is Your Father. He won’t cast you out. He first loved you. He calls you by name.
True service to God involves a genuine connection from within, a sincerity that comes from the depths of one’s being. So, whether in public or private, you’re expected to uphold purity in all aspects of your life. To serve God effectively, you need a heart wholly devoted and surrendered to His will because He is holy. Only then can your actions turn from mere religious routines into meaningful service aligned with God’s plan.
Jesus is our high priest. And because of the sufferings He went through, He can relate to people who are stricken with all kinds of infirmities. So, your case is not new to God. Don’t be so bothered that He cannot fix it. He will, but you must come to Him.
For the wicked people, God’s Word says there’s no peace for them. So, if they want to enjoy peace, they have to stop their evil deeds. And for that to also happen, they must be born again. Jesus still saves and loves people. Come to Him, and He will rewrite your story.
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.
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.
When you get saved, you must get rid of the old yeast – comprising sinful thoughts and delicacies and put on the new man, which is renewed by Christ. You must understand and live in the consciousness that you are a new creature in Christ even though you can’t see any physical evidence of it.
When Jesus uses ‘verily verily,’ then what He is about to say is of great importance and is a significant doctrine in the faith.
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).
