Let our motives and attitudes glorify God
Motives and attitudes are two central elements upon which God judges and rewards all that we do. The truth is that God sees the heart and knows the very unformed thoughts of our heart and when it comes to serving God. It is the will of God for you and me to approach anything we do for people, executing our career assignments and more from the vintage of “as unto God.” This motive and attitude will ensure that: You do things…
Pursue God passionately
Psalm 27:4 (KJV) One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. In a world where desires run wide and we are daily plugged by the pursuit of our desires, it is imperative to establish what exactly is important in life. For when the dust of life’s…
Jesus – Our TRUE Shepherd
Psalm 23:1 (GNT) The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. When Isaiah the prophet lamented that “All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God’s paths to follow our own” (Isaiah 53:6), it was not a compliment to be compared to sheep. Sheep have an infuriating tendency to wander and, not infrequently, to end up in deep trouble. People have the same tendency. But not all sheep wander. Some seem to find an antidote to…
Your testimony of victory can lead others to victory
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV) 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Life presents in so many ways, and often, we are hard-pressed on every side. We face challenges that are unknown to us and we think…
Father, show me the way you have made for me!
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Our perspective, perception, and mindset are three critical elements of life that impact and determines the outcome of everything we go through in life. Challenges are a fundamental…
Yield totally to God and grow in Grace
Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV) 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. The need for yieldedness and openness to God cannot be overemphasized. It is the pathway to growth. When daily applied, it leads to untold fruitfulness. When the psalmist asked God to search him and know his heart and try his thoughts, he was inviting God to…
As a child of God, what is the drive of your life?
Psalm 42:2 (KJV) My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Thirst is a natural phenomenon as hunger. However, what you are thirsting for and what we are hungry for reveals the need for our lives. Thirsting for something shows how much you are in need of such a thing and when you are thirsting for God, it as well reveals the inner drive of your life. The psalmist declares that…
Genuine repentance produces godliness and fruitfulness
Joel 2:12 (KJV) Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: You may have heard it before, I have run out of patience. I don’t think I have time for this. I am not sure this relationship, marriage or friendship is repairable. Things have completely broken down; I have moved on. Such expressions underscore the inability of humanity in handling certain life issues for a long…
Fellowship: A key to your fruitfulness
Revelation 3:20 (KJV) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. People seek and speak of their privacy, their rights of choice and decision-making. They seek environments where they are free to choose and are welcomed the way they are. But often we forget that God is the only One who has truly given us…
Life Challenges : 4 Biblical pathways to solutions
Romans 15:4 (KJV) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. I am having so much difficulty, someone says. My life is full of challenges, another declared. Why me oh God? A very familiar question, we all ask. When will this be over, we often protest. If God is truly there, why all these evil things happening, another question. And the list goes on-and-on of…
Let God’s Truth guide our hearts
Proverbs 21:2 (KJV) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. We are creatures of thoughts and words. We are pruned to think often in general before acting and we do so sometimes with even considering the consequences. It is imperative to earnestly consider our thoughts and actions in the light of the Truth that God foremost looks at our hearts. Now the good thing about this is that God, unlike men, looks…
Be Faithful in word and deed!
Luke 16:10 (KJV) He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Is there anyone who despises faithfulness? Is there anyone who doesn’t care about people being dependable? No, we all desire to relate with people whose words mean something to them. We look for the quality of faithfulness in our employees. We hold on to relationships that have been proven and tested…
