Philippians 2:3 NLT
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
If only Christians would live a life encompassed with all these characters listed in this bible verse, we would have a peaceful church community and God’s work and purpose would thrive.
Let’s do well to live a Bible life.
Answer me, oh Lord!
Psalm 4:1 NLT
Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
Answer me oh Lord and deliver me from all my troubles.
Save me from failing and from falling.
Rescue my soul from damnation and condemnation.
Let my praises be unto you, and the world will see you and your glory in my life, amen.
Not my will but God’s will
I pray that your will, oh God, for my life be done and that your name be magnified and glorified.
Matthew 26:39 NKJV
[39] He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
I shall not be disgraced
Isa 50:7 NET But the sovereign LORD helps me, so I am not humiliated. For that reason I am steadfastly resolved; I know I will not be put to shame.
The Lord will help me!
The Lord is my support!
The Lord will rise to defend me from evil, shame and disgrace!
I shall not be humiliated!
I am unmovable and unshakable!
I follow the Lord of host!
I shall not be put to shame.
Don’t stop doing good
It can be hard especially when people repay your goodness and kindness with evil or bad attitude.
There is evil in our world and some people are full of wickedness in their hearts.
The Lord will keep His people from troubles. John 16:33
Regardless, don’t stop doing good. It is God’s will that our goodness will outclass and outshine the wickedness of the wicked. 1 Peter 2:15
Give God a chance
Give God a chance to do what He promised.
Give Him a room or a space to operate.
He said, “behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and open, I will come in and be with him and he will be with me, also.” Revelation 3:20
Time of doubting is over, time of believing is now.
God is faithful to keep us
When everything else fails, God does not fail.
He will keep His children forever because He is able to.
1Th 5:23 NET Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Th 5:24 NET He who calls you is trustworthy, and he will in fact do this.
God is faithful and trustworthy to fulfill His promises of keeping.
Don’t stop trusting God. Rely on His ability to keep His promises because He can and He will.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
It’s a new year with new possibilities to live a new life and fulfill purpose and destiny.
Let’s take advantage of every God-given opportunities, and reach for the apex.
We shall finish the year 2025 well, amen!
God still makes ways
As the year 2024 runs to an end, God still makes ways where there is no way.
And if there are things that are not achieved this year, 2025 brings new beginning and hopes.
The confidence of a believer is in his God’s ability to do the impossible.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Isa 43:19 EasyEnglish Look! I will do something that is new! Now it appears quickly. Surely, you can see it. I am making a road in the sandy places. And I am making streams in the wild places.
Giving thanks
Giving thanks in both the good and the bad seasons is the character of the one who trust God.
We make a merry when things go our way, and we thank God when it turns out not the way we desire.
We should thank God whether it’s favorable or not favorable.
In all things, give thanks for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
1Th 5:18 NET in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
