It is so good to have a Father you look up to for your everyday guidance and provision. The next time you get to a point where you don’t know what to do, pray to God. Ask Him what Jesus would have done in your case, and when you get the reply, follow suit accordingly. Never live confused while you have a heavenly Father who listens to you. Keep in touch in your daily walk with Him!
Transformation in Christ begins with crucifying your old self—leaving behind the carnal nature and embracing a new life led by the Spirit. Discover what it means to repent, renew, and live purposefully in God’s kingdom.
Wisdom is a cornerstone of purposeful living, guiding you to make sound decisions, excel in your pursuits, and align with God’s will. It is not merely a trait to be admired but a spirit to be sought intentionally, cultivated through discipline, and rooted in the fear of the Lord.
Dear one, if you want something in your life, especially something costly, do not think you will get it for free. You are going to pay for it. Sometimes, the price you pay for such things may not necessarily be money, but others, like time and very hard godly sacrifice.
Dear preacher, don’t rush to get some information from the Bible just to preach to people. Take your time to study the Word. Teach yourself as you teach others. Instill self-discipline in your walk with God. Beat your body so you don’t become a castaway of the very things you preach to others.
Your time spent in church is never enough to let the sound doctrine you hear from the pulpit settle in your spirit. You must read and study the Bible, revise your notes, listen to sermon podcasts, pray, fast and do all other spiritual exercises in Christ with intentionality. That is how to force God’s Word to settle in your spirit.
We all have skills, talents and experiences which (can) contribute to the world around us. As a Christian, knowing your value is not any different. The reason is to raise awareness on how better you can influence the world with what you have.
Nobody will force you to build commitment to studying the Word and following the teachings of Christ each day. But know that becoming a disciple of Jesus comes with a cost. So pay that price to build a deeper intimacy with Jesus, and you will know Him better.
Blessed are those who hear the Word and obey it, said Jesus. That means Jesus doesn’t want people to just listen to Him but also to do what His Word says. And if you’re going to live like that, you must study the Word and walk in its consciousness.
Only God can give you balance in life. Only He can ensure that your life knows no lack and that you are completely at rest and experiencing growth in every area of it. So, if you want to live in God’s delight, pursue a deeper intimacy with Him to know Him better and ask for wisdom to manage your life and anything He has given you well.
No loving parent chastises their child to drive them away but rather to bring them back onto the right path. Similarly, God’s chastisement is not meant to condemn us but to lead us to repentance and restoration. As His children, we must recognise His authority over us and submit to His loving correction, trusting that it is for our ultimate good.
Child of God, you ought to live wisely in this perverse generation. You shouldn’t leave your labour to know the Lord intimately to chance. Because, I tell you, it won’t happen by automation. And the more you know God, the more you will be free from deception. May the Lord be your light.
