Most often when Christians pray they pray like this: “Lord, send someone to bless ME. Father, please send MY destiny helper.” What’s wrong with this prayer? If it ends here, the prayer is too selfish. When are we going to also be destiny helpers to others? A blessing to others?
Covetousness Forbidden Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5) Covetousness is a mortal sin that has taken over our society. Today, many people want to get rich by all means and at all […]
What happens when the righteous pray? Well the common knowledge is that our prayers are heard and answered by God. That is right. But do you know that there are services held in heaven during which our prayers are literally offered as sacrifices on a golden altar?
There are many inventors in life whose names are never heard about because they gave up on the verge of their discoveries. Life is about persistence, and one man who was very persistent in his pursuit of greatness was Elisha (2nd Kings 2).
This verse has always been a great booster to my prayer life, especially when it comes to interceding for the land. We Understand from the verse that one person alone can made the difference in prayer. Let me put it the right way, You can make the difference in prayer
1 Peter 4:7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.
1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
The problems Solved;
Low-income-earning women, single mothers and young girls face many barriers to economic security. They struggle to strike a balance between work and family, studies, child rearing and supporting family members. Women facing economic security understand the lack of education and vocational training opportunities, well-paid and stable jobs with affordable and quality child education or access to quality and affordable educational services for children and single mothers.
Brethren, when we walk with the Lord, In the light of His word, what a glory he sheds on our way!
Blessed people walking in His blessings enjoy His protection.
We can analyze and meditate on this theme all our lives because it is the very reason for our existence on earth. I am on earth to glorify God. God created us to glorify him and all the redeemed must give more glory to God by their lives. The big question is how to glorify God?
Who is a wise Christian?
We may have so many answers, but let’s look at this few:
(1) A wise Christian is one who puts the word of God into practice. He is a wise builder who builds his life on the rock (Matthew 7:24-27). No problem will bring him down.
There is a good and normal practice that is gradually dying among many Christians today, Evangelism or Witnessing. Let me ask you, when is the last time you invited someone to Church or preach the Gospel to someone?
When Andrew found Jesus Christ, it did not take long for him to invite his brother Peter. Our passage says, ” The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).”
When you experience somethings in your life that are not supposed to take place, you should begin to suspect that there is a door opened that should be closed. From our main verse above, Jesus does not only open doors, He can also help you to shut some doors. Hallelujah! What are such doors that needs to be close?
Among the things that God can do in your life, He can open close doors.
God says, “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it…” God can open for you strange doors- unbelievable doors. What are doors?
It is naturally difficult to keep our peace and joy when faced with problems. Usually, we record various negative reactions when people are confronted with problems. Some panic; others get confused; still others are gripped with fears and worries.
If a problem in your life has a beginning date, let me tell you that it also most have an expiring date. Peter was communicating to his readers that their suffering will last just a while and not forever. So, beloved, according to God, you are not supposed to suffer forever. Whatever problem you can be facing right now, there is a way out with God.
Every year, the Lord gives you 365 or 366 days to manage. That’s a total of 8,760 or 8784 hours. Time is like telephone airtime bonuses with expiration dateline. If you do not use it wisely on time, it waste away. Paul had an important advice to the Ephesians about time, “Redeem the time.”
Any thinking about ‘The fear of the Lord’ is corrected and redefined and by obedient walk in Him.
Walk here is going down life’s road; not a short or long trip.
So, how’s your walk in Him, obedient or any how? Is your obedience selective or you simply a strive to be an obedient child of His?
The greatest challenge for you and I to use our potentials to maximum is often viewed to be from outside of us. So many of us prefer the policy of self-protection and risk aversion – the opposite of the courage to which God calls us believers in Christ.
No one invests on things that are not valuable to him or her. No one wastes his or her time on what he or she does not consider important. What you consider important draws your heart along; your heart follows your priorities.
Many people believe in the existence of God but very few believe in God. Believing in God doesn’t mean going to church or reading the Bible or saying a few prayers.
