Your true life as a Christian

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. (Colossians 2:6) Receiving Christ is the beginning, not the end, of your journey as a believer. You have received Him, and now you must walk in Him. There is a life to live after salvation. Christianity is not simply about having […]
Cultivate Godly Habits

But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7) Your spiritual life is greatly influenced by the habits you cultivate. An excellent Christian life does not happen accidentally. You have to give attention to the things that build your spirit. Prayer, studying the Word of God, fellowship, worship, […]
Take your life in Christ seriously

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is. (Hebrews 10:24–25) There is a seriousness that must come into our Christian walk. Christianity is not something we practise only when we are in trouble or when we […]
The Life of Christ Is at Work in You

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) The Christian life is not a life we are expected to live by our own strength. Christ Himself is our life. His divine life is at work in our spirit, soul, and body, and His presence in us makes us more […]
Your Past Does Not Define Your Glory

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Now that you are in Christ, you must ensure to never dwell in your past. It makes no difference what your past experiences may have been—you are the glory […]
Excellence is not an accident: it’s a choice!

And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel… (Daniel 1:19) Excellence doesn’t happen by accident. You have to condition yourself for it. Just because you are born again and have the Holy Spirit in you does not mean you should stop developing your character. The life of God […]
Demonstrating excellence in your labour

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. (Colossians 3:23) Labour has the power to develop your character, discipline, responsibility, and capacity. Your work is about more than receiving a salary. When you learn to do something well even when nobody is watching, you are developing something within […]
Excellence is greatness

Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him. (Daniel 6:3) Excellence is closely connected with greatness. When we look at the lives of people who made significant impact in Scripture, we see that their greatness was not merely about their position. It was connected to what they carried […]
Excellence begins with perception

And he that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. (Proverbs 17:27) Excellence has a lot to do with how you see. Great people are able to perceive things that others may overlook. They don’t merely look at what is immediately before them; they are able to […]
Wisdom is the principal thing

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7) David taught Solomon that wisdom was more important than wealth, long life, or anything else he could possess. When Solomon was given the opportunity to ask God for anything, he asked for wisdom. He understood that if he […]
