Increase in Learning
Learning is very significant, but few people see it that way. The Lord wants you to increase in learning as His righteous child. Read this to know how.
Acquire Knowledge Through Discernment
In Christ, you have spiritual senses. Put them to use, and it’ll be easy to discern between good and evil. That is, you’ll know the things that must have your attention and the things which are unprofitable to you.
Man, Teach Your Partner the Word of God
When you start teaching your partner the ways of God starting from your relationship, you build her up spiritually, create an avenue for your personal spiritual growth (because you’ll study what you’ll teach her), and also prove to God that you can steward His heritage, the children (Psalm 127:3.)
Watch Your Life Closely
One important thing to do in life, especially as a minister, is to watch your life closely. You must intentionally analyze and take knowledge of your own life — spirit, soul, and body.
Three Practical Ways to Receive and Benefit from God’s Word
Technology has made the reception and distribution of the gospel much easier. As a child of God, you must be ever-ready to receive God’s Word at any day, any time and through any medium (physical church gatherings or online). Learn three ways to practically receive and benefit from God’s Word.
Knowledge, the Ever-Enduring Need for All Christians
Knowing God and Jesus Christ, the Sent One, will make you understand the eternal life you’ve received and also now cause you to live in God’s likeness.
Listen to the Word You Preach to Others
Man of God, servant of God, the work of the ministry isn’t only meant to profit others at your expense. You’re also included in God’s world of impact created just for your ministry. Use that privilege. Listen to the Word you preach to others and live by the sound doctrine you teach
Don’t Leave God’s Presence
Avoid misinterpreting God’s chastisement. Don’t leave God’s presence like Cain because of guilt or immaturity. I mean, don’t disassociate yourself from the church no matter what. It’s only a matter of time you’ll realize your decision was wrong.
Apply What You Learn
Don’t deceive yourself by making yourself available in spiritual gatherings, yet having your mind too made up to listen and practice the Word of God preached. Apply what you learn from the Word.
Why Christians Shouldn’t Listen to Secular Music
The main reason why Christians shouldn’t listen to secular music is that it doesn’t originate from God. Anybody who produces it, not filled with the Holy Spirit, is being used by the enemy to corrupt the hearts and minds of people.
Brainwashed by the Word
One important reason why God introduced the unending spiritual transformation course to every Christian is to allow us to be brainwashed by the Word.
‘When’ not ‘If’ You Fast
In Matthew 6:16, Jesus started by saying “‘when’ not ‘if’ you fast…” That means, Jesus expects believers to fast. God can instruct you to fast, but He also respects your decision to fast even if you’ve not heard from Him.
