God deals with man based on the condition of his heart.

Romans 12:11 says, “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord”. One version of the Bible puts it this way, “Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically”.

As Christians, God has also called us to shine. That’s how our influence and impact can be felt. Being a Christian must make your life an example. Thus you must shine in life.

Just as the biological heart is worth guarding, the same can be said of the “spiritual heart” which is your spirit.  YouContinue reading “Keep your heart!”

It is a generalContinue reading “Do God’s work now.”

Life is a journey. You have to start from one point and end at another. This is why God is not only interested in you starting something, He is also concerned about how you make it to the end. It is very important to note that, reaching to the end of every assignment you have started is a priorityContinue reading “Persevere till you reach the end.”

You see, inasmuch as there is nothing wrong with having money or being wealthy, it is wrong to follow such pursuits against your own godliness.
