Praising God is also an essential part of the faith walk. The Psalmist says, “God inhabits the praises of His people. (paraphrased)”. Psalm 22:3 This is because “Praise is comely unto God.” Psalm 147:1 We have been created essentially as praise beings, to show forth the glory of God by our words and deeds. God […]
The fear of God entails having a holy reverence for His Word. When you do that, you will not fall into any form of sin. The subject of sin has been brought up at this stage because it is a fundamental hindrance to the effectual working of faith. Just as love is a fundamental prerequisite […]
“Because you say: I am rich, I have become wealthy, and I need nothing, and because you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” (Revelation 3:17) The consequence of lives without intimacy with God is the corruption that infiltrates the church. Today, it is difficult to see a difference between […]
“No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.“ Matthew 5:15 When I speak of influence, I am not referring to influence derived from financial power. Today, for many people, including numerous Christians, having a lot of […]
“If a man therefore purges himself from these things, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:21) Some Christians are vessels of honor, while others are vessels for dishonorable use. The quality of the vessel someone represents is not determined by God […]
“Then Peter opened his mouth and said, ‘In truth, I perceive that God shows no partiality.‘” (Acts 10:34) When considering the different levels of intimacy with God, one might ask: Does God distinguish between His children? If so, wouldn’t that be favoritism? Know this—God has no “favorite” children. He does not prefer some people over […]
It is important to understand that God does not answer every prayer. Just as not all job applications are accepted during a recruitment process, not all prayers receive a positive response. You may be one of a thousand applicants, yet only 100 might be accepted. Every recruitment announcement includes specific conditions to fulfill and required […]
Let us be concerned with prayer, as we must take advantage of the fact that God answers it. In Psalm 65:2, the psalmist says: “O you who hear prayer! To you all flesh will come.” I have heard some say that most of the time, Christians waste their time praying. Know then that if you […]
“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, ‘Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.’” (Romans 10:10-11) If you believe in Jesus Christ, you should never be ashamed of your […]
The Bible says: “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season…” (2 Timothy 4:2). Preach it when you feel like it and when you don’t. It’s like a calling; you don’t practice it only when it suits you because often it won’t. God wants His children to be His partners in winning […]
