The verse above underscores the principle of cause and effect. It also amplifies another principle: “sowing and reaping.” What you want to have in life is not a matter of mere wishes or accidents. Things never work that way. You gain because you venture. Doing nothing only produces nothing. Similarly, doing nothing worthwhile produces nothingContinue reading “NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED.”

DEAD TO SIN.
The born-again Christian does not continue to willingly live in sin. The born-again experience does not only restore our relationship with the Lord, but it also brings us the consciousness of living our lives to please the Lord. As a Christian, your spirit man, which was once dead, is made alive at salvation. Thus, yourContinue reading “DEAD TO SIN.”
PEOPLE FACTOR.
People are crucial in our “success journey.” In as much as some people may not serve your interest in making it in life, it is also important to know that some people are your guideposts and propellers into your destiny. Our opening verses tell how Saul was greatly helped by people after an unfruitful taskContinue reading “PEOPLE FACTOR.”
FAITH HAS WORKS.
True faith is accompanied by action. Believing without action is incomplete. Anytime you believe in something, you take what is called a step of faith. You act on what you believe. This is how faith produces results. To claim that you have faith, but it is not accompanied by actions, is merely agreeing with somethingContinue reading “FAITH HAS WORKS.”
GIVE ATTENTION TO GOD’S WORD; IT BRINGS HEALTH.
God’s Word is more than just a source of wisdom—it is life and health. It holds the key to healing, restoration, and victory in every area of life. When we give our attention to God’s Word, we align ourselves with divine wisdom that transcends natural understanding. The Word of God has the power to healContinue reading “GIVE ATTENTION TO GOD’S WORD; IT BRINGS HEALTH.”
JESUS CHRIST OUR REDEEMER.
To redeem means to release from a bond, set free from captivity or slavery, buy back something lost or sold, or exchange something in one’s possession for something of greater value. Christ’s coming to earth was solely for our redemption. He came to set us free from the bond of the devil, substituting His lifeContinue reading “JESUS CHRIST OUR REDEEMER.”
DON’T HINDER YOUR FAITH.
Faith is central to our Christian life. To keep our faith unhindered, we must consistently walk in love. Any believer who desires results through the exercise of their faith must also ensure their “love life” is in order. Walking in love is nonnegotiable for the Christian. Faith, when detached from love, can become destructive ratherContinue reading “DON’T HINDER YOUR FAITH.”
BE HONEST WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE.
One cardinal principle you must uphold as a Christian is honesty. Learn to boldly speak the truth and live by it, regardless of what others may say. Honesty means being truthful, straightforward, and free from deceit. It helps us deal with others with integrity and breeds trust. Without honesty, our relationships with people become mechanicalContinue reading “BE HONEST WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE.”
YOUR ACTIONS CAN DESTROY A LOT OF THINGS.
One of the wisest things to do in life is to never belittle your actions. Your actions and inactions don’t only affect you—they can impact many others, including your family, friends, church, and even your employer. Our opening text says, “One sinner destroys much good.” This means that one action, if not directed toward somethingContinue reading “YOUR ACTIONS CAN DESTROY A LOT OF THINGS.”
NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE.
Everyone is tempted in life. One of the most frequent temptations is the urge to “give up” on something we have started or even on life itself. This was exactly the situation Joshua faced. He woke up one day to find that leadership responsibilities had shifted to him. No longer just an aide to Moses,Continue reading “NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE.”
