Believers on Board

What do you fear most in life? Just one answer, death! It can come from various sources, including sickness. But who or what provides the best protection from death? The answer is in your mind.

I guess you like to be called a careful person. But what are you careful about? Let me tell you this: be careful by guarding against the tricks of the Devil. That’s your worst enemy! He is on duty to capture always. So, watch out!

Do you have a corporate job or you are self employed? Whatever work you do, ensure that you go on annual leave. That’s a right and not a privilege! Not to go on leave is to be wicked to yourself.

Do you have the ability or willingness to welcome other people’s opinions or behaviour that you dislike or disagree with? If yes, then you are tolerant; but if not, then intolerance is part of You!

Some people marry for sheer companionship but the majority do so for procreation. What do you do when the children are not coming? Many things! But the most important one is to keep asking God in prayer!

What you say brings reward; same with what you do. But remember, reward can be good or bad. This implies that we have to be very careful with our words and deeds, for each has reward.

Do you have widows where you live? I guess you do. How do you relate with them? If badly, please, change now! Be kind and friendly with widows and orphans; same with widowers.

Faith in God is the greatest weapon believers have to sail through life without fear. Without it, you cannot travel, go in for surgery, hope to get healed from sickness and more. I don’t envy people without faith!

Some believers are too self-confident! They think they can do all things because of their capabilities. No! Without God, you can do nothing! With God, you can do everything!

What is easier to do, good or bad things? Simple question, but not easy to answer, right? We may say good people are scarce, but do something! Be one, and increase the number of good and honest people in the world.

In the labour market, you can find people looking for job opportunities. When employed, some are good within the probation period. Later, they turn and become lazy. Be very good and committed wherever you serve.

Nothing goes for nothing! I guess you have heard someone say that, or, you have said it yourself. That applies also to our relationship with God. Nothing you do to Him goes for nothing. Disobey Him or obey Him, something will happen.

Complaining: is it good or bad? Many smart people will respond with: it depends! Then give reasons for, or, against their position. Now with God, don’t be afraid to complain about anything. Talk to Him about everything.

Imagine God standing in front of you now. And He puts this question: what should I give you, much money or abundant peace? What will be your answer and why?

What do you fear most in life? Some people may pretend to give cover-up answers. But most will say, death! Yes! The Good News is, Jesus has defeated death for all believers. Believe and don’t fear!

Some Christians dress in black on Good Friday, indicating mourning for Jesus. Though death brings sorrow, the day Jesus died is described as good! Is that correct? Yes, if you reflect deeply.

The kind of osmosis between men and women has its good and bad sides. Some men have foolishly given in to women’s demands to their own detriment and vice versa. Be careful and critical with earth other.

God gave us mouths and ears; but some people over labour their mouths by talking too much. Same with those who are too quiet and over work their ears. Let’s take the time to talk and also the time to listen, for both are good.

God made the world in pairs. For example, women and men, good and evil, rich and poor etc. We live together, but don’t do good to each other. Imagine the strong helping the weak, and the rich the poor! How good it will be!

If we all fight selfishness, the world will be a great and better place to live in. Those who have, will share with those who don’t have. Selfish or generous? Where do you fall? Answer for yourself.

According to you, which is the worst sin? Someone may say, I don’t know. Another one says, sin is sin! A third may hold that murder is the worst sin. Rating sin doesn’t help! Avoiding does!

Physical sickness kills. And it’s said psychological or emotional sickness even kills faster. One way to avoid sickness of the mind is to keep a clear conscience. Do that and it will be well with you body and soul.

People don’t like to carry the troubles and problems of others. Why? Because they have enough of theirs to wrestle with. But God has no problems, so, He is willing to solve yours! Hand them to Him!

Every good thing we have, comes from God. Make a list of all that you have, and then see if some are not from God. Granted He gives everything; search your life, and find out how you respond to God’s generosity.

I guess you have heard it being said that, nothing goes for nothing. In some cases, that is true. The passage of today says if you trust God, it will not be for nothing! He will bless you! Do you believe that? Try and see!
