Ways to follow
If all believers in Christ are sons of God, and we are made kings and priests in Christ (see Revelation 5:10, 1 Peter 2:9), the priesthood order has been permanently changed. Now, the question is, how has God defined the welfare of servants in God’s house?
Once you are living inside a body subject to fleshly lusts, you have “sin.” In other words, you may not have sin inside you as a Christian (because your inner man is saved and renewed by the Spirit), but sin is close to you because of the presence of your sinful flesh, which can be triggered to make you do wrong things when you’re tempted. Get this well, so that you’ll not deceive yourself into thinking that you are stormproof to temptation.
God is a very generous God. He liberally gives wisdom to whoever asks Him for it (see James 1:5). He, through Jesus, sets people free when they get saved (see John 8:36). So, anytime He puts a limit to something, it is always for the good of the benefactor and nothing bad.
If God doesn’t want you to live a selfish life, what does He want you to embrace instead? Sacrifice powered by love. That is what will help you to impact many for His kingdom. If you spend your life for the needy with intentionality, you’ll keep your life for eternal life.
Do you know that fellowship with God and with one another as believers in Christ is so important? Yet, it is one of the spiritual treasures the devil works so hard to eliminate in people’s lives. Many people have time for everything else except their own prayer and Bible study time. Some find it hard to even come to church, if not at all, at least on Sundays. Why are all these things happening? Maybe some of us don’t treasure divine fellowship that much, and that is one of the main purposes of my writing this article, inspired by 1 John 1:5-7.
Never shun God’s instruction to do big things. Only ask for resources. There is no vision God hasn’t made provision for. In the case of Adam, he came to meet it. In our case, we need to ask Him for it.
It’s through renewing your mind with God’s Word that you can be empowered to live above the dictates of the sinful flesh. Therefore, those who follow Jesus will have the light of eternal life (see John 8:12), enabling them to view things from a spiritually discerning perspective rather than submitting to pleasing fleshly desires.
In 1 John 1:1-4, Apostle John explained that Jesus was from the beginning, confirming the truth that Jesus existed long before He appeared on earth as God’s incarnate Word. John directly heard Jesus speak, saw Him, looked upon Him and touched Him. Jesus is indeed the Word of life.
Like new-age general activities such as football AI, these things were not captured directly in scripture. As a result, it has left many believers wondering what the Bible says about the use of AI. Can Christians use AI for doing ministerial work? Let’s delve deeper.
Do you know that God’s Word is received as a seed? Seeds don’t grow until they are planted in good soil and also provided all the necessities needed for them to germinate well. With this in view, know that it takes some work to see God’s Word manifest in a believer’s life.
As scripture says in Galatians 6:9, you need not grow weary of doing good. That means you must aim high and be consistent with your streaks for doing good. But that also means that there is a lot of opposition on that path of life, some coming from people you never imagined could misbehave towards you.
If you have been in church for quite a while, you may have come across the statement, “Obedience is better than sacrifice”. Well, what does it mean to you as a Christian? Delve deeper today.
