Cultivate Strong Convictions
That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. (Luke 1:4) One of the marks of spiritual maturity is having convictions that are firmly established in God’s Word. A conviction is more than an opinion. Opinions change with circumstances, but convictions remain steady because they are rooted in truth. In […]
Cultivate a Holy Dissatisfaction with Mediocrity
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2) God never created you to merely exist. He created you to grow, excel, and become everything He has called you to be. One of the greatest enemies of progress is becoming comfortable with mediocrity. When people […]
Cultivate the Joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) Have you ever noticed how much easier life feels when your heart is filled with joy? Challenges may still exist, responsibilities may still be there, but somehow you have strength to keep moving forward. That’s because joy is not merely an emotion; it is spiritual […]
Cultivate Your Faith
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Every child of God has received faith. The Bible teaches that God has dealt to every believer the measure of faith. This means no Christian begins their journey empty-handed. However, faith is given as a seed, and every seed is […]
Cultivate the Word of God
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. (Matthew 13:23) Every believer desires to be fruitful, but fruitfulness does not happen accidentally. In the parable of the sower, […]
Fight the Good Fight of Faith Until the End
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called (1 Timothy 6:12). The Christian life is not passive; it is a life of faith that must be consciously exercised and maintained. Scripture calls it a good fight because the victory has already been secured in Christ, yet faith […]
Your Salvation Matters the Most
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) One of the things you should consider most precious is your salvation. In these last days, you should guard your salvation like never […]
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 […]
The Fruitfulness of yielding
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. (John 12:24) One of the greatest principles in God’s Kingdom is the principle of yielding. The Lord Jesus taught that a seed must first be planted […]
