Concerning Tongues Speaking — A Topical Bible Study
Tongues speaking is one of the most debated topics in the Christendom. In this Bible study, you’ll learn what the Bible says about it in great detail.
Keep Emphasising the Truth in Your Preaching – 2 Peter 1 v 12-15
Many believers forget what they hear in church. For that reason, it will be necessary for preachers to emphasise the truth consistently. The gospel is powerful enough to keep impacting people; it’ll never make people dull of hearing. Treasure these things, dear minister.
Stand for Truth in the Midst of Fierce Opposition
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.
Make Your Calling and Election Sure – 2 Peter 1 v 10-11
Receiving a calling in Christ is not enough. Neither is it enough to know you have been elected by grace (as in, God has chosen you in Christ – see Ephesians 1:4). You need diligence to ensure you reach the high calling God has destined you to get.
Guard Your Ears, Dear Employer
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.
Knowing Jesus – Benefits of Abounding in It and Effects of Not Knowing Him – 2 Peter 1 v 8-9
While 2 Peter 1:5-7 teaches us to cultivate seven significant things that will make us productive in our knowledge of Christ, 2 Peter 1:8-9 tells us about knowing Jesus – the benefits of abounding in such divine knowledge and the effect of neglecting it.
Do Not Grow Weary of Doing Good
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.
Give Diligence to Your Calling – 2 Peter 1 v 5-7
Some believers are always praying to God for “things” but failing to give themselves wholly to His calling upon their lives. That has resulted in many Christians living selfish lives, comprising “Give me, give me, God,” instead of giving diligence to their calling in Christ. Today, by the mercies of God, it’s a privilege to write concerning this issue in 2 Peter 1:5-7. Let’s delve deeper.
Lay Aside Every Weight
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.
God Has Given Us All Things Pertaining to Life and Godliness – 2 Peter 1 v 3-4
I want to tell you that there is a process between the time you pray when God reveals His promise to you in bits and when you see those promises materialise. You can’t get everything God promises you the moment He reveals to you. It takes time to fulfil a promise you make to someone, even as a human. How much more God?
Gather to Scatter – How Jesus Trains and Sends Disciples
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.
We Have Been Given All Things Pertaining unto Life and Godliness – 2 Peter 1 v 3-4
God, in His mighty power, has bestowed upon each of His children everything they need for life and godliness. This is an incredible truth, isn’t it? Yet, why do many believers find life challenging? It’s because there’s a process to access the provisions God has made. Delve deeper in this study.
