Watch Out
Gal. 5:9-10 “This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.”
One of the things that we should be careful of, as believers, is the leaven – what you eat. In other words, it is not everybody you listen to. Not everyone who calls himself a man of God is actually a man of God. Read the rest of this entry
Compliance
Eph.5:21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (emphasis added)
We spent the last two days explaining, in line with scripture, what submitting one to another means for the wife. Today, we will focus on what submission means for the husband. Read the rest of this entry
Spirit Guided
2 Pet. 3:17-18 (MSG) “But you, friends, are well-warned. Be on guard lest you lose your footing and get swept off your feet by these lawless and loose-talking teachers. Grow in grace and understanding of our Master and Saviour, Jesus Christ…”

Path of Godliness
2 Tim.3:16 (TPT) “Every Scripture has been written by the Holy Spirit, the breath of God. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness.”

The Most
Eph.5:16 (NRSV) “making the most of the time, because the days are evil.” (emphasis added)
The New Living Translation of the same Eph.5:16 reads, “Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days” (emphasis added). If you are going to fulfil your destiny, you have to make the most of every opportunity. Read the rest of this entry
Do Quick!
Eph.5:1 “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.” (emphasis added).
If you want to be an imitator of God, then you must imitate Him. God left His Kingdom, became a man and died for us. Paul says, how can you have earthly goods and not share with your brother and sister, Read the rest of this entry
Act On It!
1 John 3:17-18 “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” (emphasis added).
It is truly amazing how detailed God’s Word is and how precise it is for practical daily Christian living. Yesterday, God said to us in Read the rest of this entry
As We Ought
1Jn.3:14 “If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead.” (emphasis added).
God is clear, the proof that we have passed from death to life is our love for other believers. When a Christian claims not to be able to stand other Christians, it shows that the person is still in death Read the rest of this entry
His Likeness

God made you and I the light of the world. When He says you are the light of the world, He is saying that He has given you all it takes to be light. It may not look like it now, just trust Him and take your stand, Read the rest of this entry
Arise & Shine
Eph.5:8 (NRSV) “For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light” (emphasis added).
How does God expect us to live? God instructs us to live as children of light. Though we were once darkness, in Jesus we are light. This scripture suggests that it is possible Read the rest of this entry
