Learn and proclaim

Psalm 71:17, 18 – “O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.” The Psalmist says that the Lord taught […]

Allow the Word to counsel you

Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭23, 24‬ – “Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.

The Lord is our shepherd

Ezekiel 34:31—”And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.” God intends for pastors (shepherds) to look after their flock (of the believers in their churches) and not only look after themselves with help of their churches. ‘Shepherds’ also include parents who are responsible […]

To God be the glory

1 Peter 4:11—”If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” We can plainly see […]

The joy of the Lord is your secret and strength

Thessalonians 5:16-18—”Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.” The one difference that stands out between a believer and an unbeliever is the peace and joy abiding in the former. Believers follow the Word […]

Whose ways govern your delight – God or man?

Proverbs 16:7-9—”By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the […]

Proud or Lowly – How do you React?

Proverbs 11:2-3—”Considering how safe, and quiet, and easy the humble are, we see that with the lowly is wisdom. An honest man’s principles are fixed, therefore his way is plain.” Pride is defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s achievements, associations, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.
