"I declare that I am an example to the world," you may claim. The question is: What kind of example are you? Every Christian should constantly ask themselves this question: "What kind of example am I  to those around me?" It is recommended that Christians examine themselves now and again in this regard. A Christian should be a living sermon or testimony , a walking biblical message , a role model, and a free, human daily devotional . A Christian should be a written message that women, teens, and men alike may all see, read, and be inspired by. The authentic Christian life is a sermon in action. If you live this kind of life, without saying a single word those around you will see and hear your example loud and clear! "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but  set   an   example  for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." - 1 Timothy 4 Verse 12 (NIV) Set an example, be exemplary, Paul instructed Timoth...

Apart from being born again, love is what distinguishes the  body of Christ from any other body . After receiving salvation, the next thing that would delight God is for us to walk in  love . That's what I believe. Without love , the Church becomes 'technical' or 'administrative' , a mere organization no different from, say, a local Government authority.  I also believe that the Church can only function in grace only to the extent that it walks in love .  As far as I am  concerned , it would be an impossible contradiction for the Church to operate in grace without, at the same time, walking in love . The grace that we enjoy today came from  love , which was manifested by way of an act of love .  "For God so loved  the world that he gave  his one and only Son,  that whoever believes  in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3 Verse 16 (NIV). God started by 'so loving the world' . "Greater  love  has ...

The Easter holiday is a time for celebration the world over.  Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate it, but for different reasons and in different ways. Some even use the holiday for celebrations that provoke God to anger. But for Christians , this is a time of reflection, of reliving the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ . In it we should be able to see a miracle of miracles .  What Jesus did was not done for its own sake. As He went through the pain and suffering, the only thing that made Him go on was us, you and me, the reason for His mission. But what, in practical terms, does Easter mean?  Look at this:  "Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life ." - Ro...

Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures ." – Matthew 22 Verse 29 (NIV) The Bible verse does not say, “You are in error because you do not know what the teachers of the Word, or preachers , teach.” Neither does it say, “ You err because you do not know what the prophets have prophesied.” Instead, it says, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures.” Pastors , prophets, preachers, teachers, evangelists , etc. play a critical role in advancing the cause of the Gospel . We thank them for this. However, important as their role is, they teach the Word of God at different levels of revelation (frequencies), interpretation and for different motives!  It is therefore important for every Christian , personally,   to study the Word, instead of, as some do,  solely relying on preachers . Studying the Word must be every Christian's daily vocation and devotion , an undertaking indispensable for a proper walk with G...

Why do I attend church?  Have you ever taken time to consider why exactly you attend church?  It is a fact that people attend church for various reasons, some of which, interestingly, have nothing to do with God.  You should be able to tell your real , not assumed , motive for attending church. It's important. It's called ' taking stock '   and helps in charting the way forward.  T he person who stands to benefit (or to benefit most) from attending church, is one who does so for the correct reasons; one who does so with no other motives . It is very easy for a church member to have other motives. It's the way of Satan . The Devil has devised methods of diverting church members from what should be their core focus or core business .  So, every church member should always have their compass in hand.  So, every church member must always have their compass in hand, to enable them to take an exact route, not a general direction.
