The devil, knowing how essential marriage is in God’s plan, is working day and night to destroy many homes. And sadly, many people aren’t doing much about it. Today, I want to take one incident that happened in the Bible, specifically Hosea 3, which I hope will help every married person enduring the pain of loving an adulterous wife.
Timely obedience to God can prevent delays in your life and save generations of people from encountering things they aren’t supposed to. Never disregard God’s Word of instruction.
Teaching sound doctrine is undoubtedly one of the hardest parts of every preacher’s work in Christ. It means that you ought to spend adequate time with the Bible to understand what God wants you to preach in a thorough way without errors before ministering to God’s people. Some congregants think this is no work, but really it is.
God is good and wants your life to be more than ordinary. Live focused, and don’t let what others do which are not part of your divine agenda affect you. Reject some offers to stay with God’s vision.
You’ll become what you consume. It’s that simple. In other words, what you keep eating, watching and hearing will heavily influence your life, both in thought patterns and physicality. So check your diet, dear Christian.
Plans are good and having a vision is essential in life. Why? At least, it gives a person’s life a sense of purpose and direction. However, being consumed by the plans can be problematic if there is no spirit of patience, especially for Christians. Today, that advice goes to you.
Dear leader, you must always run checks on your heart. Because when your heart is not right with God, you’ll do things God hasn’t commanded you to do even though you may see nothing wrong with it. Never abuse your calling, and remain accountable to God and the spiritual heads over your life.
If you are being persecuted for upholding the standards of Christ in your life, commit your soul to God and endure the affliction, But remember that God’s reward for you is far greater than that affliction. Be encouraged.
If you take to heart what people say about you, I’m sorry, but you’ll hear too many disgusting words, even from people you’ve helped, that you may never dream of. Ingratitude is part of men’s behaviour these last days (see 2 Timothy 3:2). So don’t expect people always to say good things about you because you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.
In Galatians 6:9, Paul implored the believers in the Galatian church, saying they should not grow weary of doing good. But why? For in due season, they shall reap a harvest if they don’t lose heart. This, in fact, is one of the most encouraging verses in the Bible, especially to those heartbroken by others who have repaid evil for the good they did for them.
The devil has no good plans for you. He has a way of making you think there’s nothing wrong with the sin and likes bombarding you with so many temptations so you can fall for it. But hey, resist him. Speak God’s Word by divine authority and sack those evil thoughts away from your mind. It’s a war to do that, so never give up. And even if you fall, run to the Lord in repentance and speak to a trusted friend in the Lord to help you out. But after your healing, don’t go back to it. Lay aside every weight and always ask for grace to cover every area of your life.
Jesus’ model for handling ministerial work was to appoint and train people before sending them out. That’s what I call – gather to scatter. Delve deeper into this study in this article.
