One mandate we have as Christians is to serve one another. This can be within the church community, our families, workplaces, or any environment where we interact with people and our services are needed. Being a Christian is not just about oneself; it is a calling that prioritizes others. Christians who desire to follow God’sContinue reading “SERVE ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE.”

One of the simplest ways to learn in life is by observing others and following good examples. This is not just “copying” but learning through wisdom. Proverbs 6:6-9 teaches us three key lessons from the ant. First, the ant takes initiative without being told. Second, it understands seasons and prepares in advance. Third, it savesContinue reading “LEARN BY WATCHING AND DOING.”

Great and awesome things happen when the Church prays. You see, the Church may not be mighty in the use of litigation, and earthly security to protect her own. But when the church gets on her knees, nothing becomes impossible. In fact, through prayers, the church is able to bring God’s influence and intervention beyondContinue reading “WHEN YOU EARNESTLY PRAY.”

God is ever ready to meet the needs of his children. But you have to position yourself- your heart in a way to receive from him.

Unchecked knowledge can lead to pride or arrogance, making us resistant to correction and unwilling toContinue reading “LOVE BUILDS UP.”

Every born-again Christian is called to ministry—a service dedicated to promoting the things of God. Ministry is not a mysterious or supernatural calling reserved for a select few; it is simply the work of sharing God’s word and winning souls through the power of the Holy Spirit. You do not need a dramatic vision, anContinue reading “YOU HAVE A MINISTRY TO FULFILL.”

Patience is not just a nice quality to have—it is absolutely essential. True success comes only to those who are willing to wait and endure. This kind of endurance isn’t for the weak-hearted or the impulsive; it’s for those who can hold fast when challenges arise. In fact, the Bible even calls it longsuffering, remindingContinue reading “YOU MUST EMBRACE PATIENCE.”

Waiting on the Lord is part of the Christian walk. Our lives as Christians are not only characterized by constant movement or routine services toward the things of God; they also include seasons of waiting.
