Second Timothy 2:15 says: “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth” (NASB). This is a day-by-day effort requiring deep-rooted confidence and commitment. As Christians, we must constantly strive to live in a manner that is pleasing to the …
There are people in the Bible whose lives clearly provide us with a warning. The warning is this: Unless we are careful to follow God’s instructions and complete our task, the destroyer is waiting to bring ruin into our lives. Look, for example, at the young prophet in First King 13. In obedience to God’s …
In any race it is not the start that is remembered. It is the finish! Of course, the better the start, the greater the possibility the finish will be great also. It is, however, how we finish that really counts. Many of the great men and women recorded in the Bible had very good beginnings, …
When we obey God’s instructions, our obedience opens us to receive the blessing of God; however, when we are slow to obey things change. We call this kind of obedience “delayed obedience.” That is when we know God has specifically told us to do something but we wrestle with obeying for a time, we put …
We will only receive deeper understanding of God and His ways if our hearts are receptive and ready to obey. If we are to experience God’s continued abundance in our lives, it will require a commitment to obey His Word. “And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son …
The Gospel of John records the story of a man who had been born blind but healed by Jesus. The Pharisee’s questioned him about how he could suddenly see. He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, “Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ …
It is unfortunate that many times we wait until everything looks hopeless before we turn to God and ask Him to pick up the shattered pieces of our lives. We would avoid so many pitfalls if we would become more sensitive to God and in child-like faith, trust and obey the voice of our Heavenly …
The Prophet Jonah’s disobedience caused him extreme hardship. The people of Nineveh were enemies of God’s people. But because of His great love, God did not want them destroyed. He knew that the way they were living would cause them certain ruin so He sent a prophet to deliver them from impending disaster. But Jonah …
The only condition placed on man in order to live in the Garden of Eden—the one thing the Creator required of him—was obedience to God’s command. Notice what Genesis 2:16 says, “And the Lord God commanded the man…” (NKJV). And in Genesis 3:11 God questions man, “And He said, ‘Who told you that you were …
It is no wonder that some people never rise above their problems. They will not wholeheartedly follow God’s plan for success. They will not even take the time to learn how to make the first step. Proverbs 6:9 says: “How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?” (NKJV). In …
