We shall reap from doing good

And let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season, we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Gal. 6:9


Live in the spirit

If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit
Gal. 5:25

Envy and jealousy will destroy us


Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Gal. 5: 26

It is important for Christians to live in peace with other brethren and even worldly people.
Wherever we may find ourselves, let us support each other.
Envy and jealousy should not be part of anything that we do.
We should avoid becoming jealous or envying our friends, brothers and sisters, colleagues etc over their looks, social status, money, education or anything.
Envy and jealousy can gradually steal us away from our faith in Christ and we may drift into the path of destruction if we allow these two to possess us.

Whenever feelings of jealousy and envy attempts to engulf us, let us remember the word of God which tells us to be wary of jealousy and envy.
Our God is able to provide above all our means and as such let us avoid being envious of people’s possessions.
Let us put aside every weight and look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.



Spiritual blessing

Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Eph. 1:3


He is our peace

For he himself is our peace who had made both one and broken down the spiritual wall of separation Eph. 2: 14




Power to do good

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of hand to do so. Prov. 3 :27

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence
