3 Ways Every Believer Can Be Involved In The Great Commission

-
Image
Great commission  Every person on earth needs to hear the message of Salvation. This message is that Jesus died for their sins, and they are reconciled to God through Christ’s death.  When Jesus was leaving the earth, He left the disciples with one command: Matthew 28: 18-20  And Jesus cam e and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [ a ] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” This is a mandate of every believer. It was not for the first disciples only, nor was it for people on the pulpit. Every believer is an ambassador of Jesus Christ, as Paul states in 1 Cor 5:18.  Why Share The Gospel?  The Harvest is plentiful.  People are hungry to receive hope and peace. They are searching for it in every aspect. Little do they know that hope is in Christ Jesu

4 Beneficial Areas a Believer Needs Self-Discipline

-
Image
What is self-discipline? Self-discipline is consistently controlling your feelings, emotions, and actions. Self-discipline is how you behave. Life has many distractions and things seeking our attention. These include our family, goals, job, social media, Tv, and many others. We have to rank what needs our attention most and at what time. This is why we need self-discipline. Knowing you are here on earth for a short time. And you are here for a  specific purpose ; you must make deliberate decisions to control your life. For you to fulfill that purpose, you have goals you set aligned towards it. Achieving these goals requires discipline. For a believer to live a fulfilled life, you must have self-discipline. In 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Paul emphasizes that only those who commit to practice and focus on the end goal receive the prize. This means that some do not receive the award. Why? They lost focus. They got distracted on the way. Where is your focus? Paul ends the chapter with a call to

How to get started with 5 Powerful Phrases from Positive People

-
Image
Photo credit to pixel.com- Positivity It is said that actions speak louder than words. Positive people seem to acknowledge this. They know that there is power in spoken words and the great impact words have in people’s lives.  Therefore, positive people build genuine relationships either in their professional or personal lives by using powerful words. You can easily spot a positive person by the words that come out of their mouth when they speak to others.  You can practice being a positive person by embracing the use of powerful codes.  I am Wrong  A positive person admits when he is wrong. It comes out of him without being coerced. This communicates to others that "I am also the imperfect person that can make mistakes." It allows others to learn from their mistakes.  Furthermore, admitting that you are wrong sends out the message that you are ready to learn from your mistakes. It also blocks people from judging you. “I am wrong “shows that you are mature and brings healing

Seeing Christ through the book of Psalms

-
Image
  Psalm 4 Photo credits to pixel. Personal devotions. Is Psalms one of your favorite books in the Bible? What do you love in the book of Psalms? Most people love the book of Psalms because of David’s Prayers, praises, and devotions. I love the book of Pslams because of the lessons it contains and how it displays the role of Christ in our lives.  Psalm 4 is written by David, and The Passion Translation Bible titles it as a Melody of David. This Psalm is like a song. It comes after Psalm 3, written by David, after being forced to flee from his son Absalom. You can read my devotion on  Psalm 3 : Devotion: Psalm3 Chapter 4, David starts by praising God for who He is in his life, mentioning that God is his righteousness and Champion. He ends by affirming the confidence He has in God that makes Him sleep in peace, and He lives unafraid.  Camp here with me as we break down this Psalm with the help of the Holy Spirit.  God my righteousness.  David acknowledges that righteousness comes from God

Selfless Devotion time ..Photo credit to pixel.com   Despite being a Christian for years, I have sometimes lagged in my devotions. This is usually caused by being too busy,  traveling, failure to schedule time, and procrastination. Are you like me? Feel tagged here. But you know what, we must treat our devotion time with the urgency it needs. When we understand the need or urgency of having personal devotion, we will learn to focus on it in our schedules. We will ensure we do not miss it no matter how crazy our day is or where we are. It'sshouldn'tHere are the reasons why we need devotion. 1. It is a spiritual exercise. In life, when you want to be the best in something, you must practice. You must invest your time and other resources in it. No athlete wakes up in the morning and enrolls for a race without practicing. An athlete commits himself to exercise and denies himself some privileges to be fit the race ahead of him. Therefore, you as a believer must invest in your spirit

Pursue your Calling

-

  Colossians 4:3-4 “Don’t forget to pray for us, that God will open doors for telling the mystery of Christ, even while I’m locked up in this jail. Pray that every time I open my mouth I’ll be able to make Christ plain as day to them.” Paul’s prayer request to the Colossians shows the Passion he had for his calling. Paul always made it clear in all his epistles that his calling was to share the message of the cross to the  Gentiles.  Even being in chains would not stop him from pursuing his calling.  This is a great lesson to us as saints that when we find our calling, nothing stops us from pursuing it. The passion for fulfilling our calling becomes the purpose we live for. When God created us, He already planned for the purpose he desires us to fulfil. Every person walking on earth has a problem to solve either He believes in God, who created in Him or not.   This means that for us to know our purpose, we must seek it from the Creator. When we pursue our purpose in Christ, we fulfil w

Impact of Technology on the Youth

  A Youth Pastor in a youth church service said, “Anyone with a Bible kindly raise up and read this verse for us.” Everyone turned around to see who has a Bible. In a church service of 200 youth s,  no one had a Bible though most of them had Bible apps in their phones. Since the church has banned using phones in the church none of the youth would raise up to read the verse using his phone. This sounds familiar. Technology especially the internet plays a great role in the life of people the youth today. Research by Pew Research Centre  http://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2018/05/31102617/PI_2018.05.31_TeensTech_FINAL.pdf   showed that 95% of the youth have access to the internet either through a computer or smartphone.  90% percent of the youth have access to smartphones. 90% of the youth use Instagram, YouTube, and snap chat  on daily basis . Currently, most youth and teens are using Tiktok.   Research by One Hope  https://www.globalyouthculture.net/united-states/
