Cultivate a Teachable Spirit
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. (Proverbs 15:32) One of the fastest ways to grow spiritually is to remain teachable. God often uses His Word, His Spirit, and godly leaders to correct, guide, and strengthen us. Unfortunately, pride causes many people to resist correction, even when […]
Your Conviction and Salvation
But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:33) In the above scripture, the Lord Jesus pointed out how our conviction toward Him will determine our place in heaven. He said, “But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny […]
Living Under the Reign of Lord Jesus
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17) The history of mankind can be described by different reigns. There was a time when Adam was given dominion, but through […]
Intentional Spiritual Growth
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18) Spiritual growth does not happen automatically. Just as physical development requires nourishment and exercise, spiritual advancement requires intentional commitment to God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. Nobody accidentally becomes spiritually mature. Growth happens when we consistently choose […]
Living the Gospel Daily
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men. (2 Corinthians 3:2) The Gospel is more than a message we preach; it is a life we live. Every day, people observe our attitudes, actions, and responses. Through our conduct, they should be able to see the reality of Christ in […]
Walk in the Spirit Daily
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14) Many people think spiritual growth happens automatically with time, but that is not true. Maturity comes from walking with God consistently. A person may have been in church for many years, but if he is not […]
Release Peace Through Prayer
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth. (Psalm 46:9) God never intended His people to live consumed with fear about the condition of the world. Even in difficult times, believers are called to respond with faith and prayer instead of anxiety. When darkness increases around the nations, the Church must rise […]
Identify and Rebuke
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). One of the ways the devil attempts to bring destruction is through thoughts and ideas that appear to be your own. Many believers assume that every thought that enters their mind belongs to them, but this […]
Deal with the enemy
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). We live in a world where spiritual realities operate constantly. While God has given His angels to assist those who belong to Him, there are also demonic forces that oppose the work of God and try to influence human […]
Lessons from the life of John and Judas
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein (John 12:6) John and Judas Iscariot, were among the twelve disciples of Jesus. However, both were absolutely opposite in their character. John, who was also called John the divine, […]
