-
The overwhelming importance of knowing the peace that passes all understanding!
This world is full of trials and tribulations, and thus it's not very easy to navigate, but when you know Jesus, and have His peace that transcends all human understanding flowing through you, then life is certainly more manageable. There's no need to worry or hurry, just move with the peaceful…

The importance of being good disciples of Christ!
Jesus Christ is no longer on the earth as a human being, however, as His disciples, we have taken over His earthly responsibilities, become His agents, His ambassadors or representatives, and now, people can only come into contact with Jesus through us; through our goodness, kindness, grace, and...
-
The overwhelming importance of honouring our parents.
What's God's first commandment with promise eh friends? That we honour our parents so that we could live long in the land the Lord gave us. And I know that many of us didn't have good parents, but God didn't specify we honour them if they were only good. No. Whether they are good or bad, we're...
-
The importance of believers understanding they can only serve ONE Master at a time!
Friends, lots of things and people are vying for our attention in this busy and crazy world. However, we were created to only handle one thing properly at one time. Yes, I know all about doing many things at the same time, but believe me, none of them are ever done to the best of our ability. The...
-
The importance of focusing on heavenly things!
Friends, life on earth is short, but eternity in heaven is forever; that means we need to have more stuff to live in heaven than here on earth. Therefore storing up a lot of stuff down here on earth, only to leave it all behind when we die, is not wise. The best option is to store up more rewards...
-
The importance of humility in a believer's life.
Friends, Jesus gave up all that He had in heaven to come to earth to live a poor and humble life and sacrifice his sinless life for us. He didn't put on any airs and graces, though He had the right to, and that's the way He expects His followers to behave. As the saying goes, if you know you have...
-
The importance of believers keeping a tight rein on pride!
Oh friends, pride is one of the greatest triggers to our falling. You can see it in Satan's demise when he figured he was powerful enough to overthrow the One who had created him, and was kicked out of heaven to walk the earth in shame and disgrace. And that's the same thing he's trying to have…
more -
The urgent need for Christians to wake up and let their light shine!
Friends our world is going to hell in a handbasket because we Christians are not doing a good enough job of showing it the light of Jesus. Meanwhile, Satan's followers are out there furiously sowing their dark and evil seeds and thus bringing our world under their dark and evil command. That's…
more -
The importance of actioning our Christian faith!
We have two options in this life; to do evil, or to do good, and Jesus, our Lord and Saviour is the champion of doing good! That means if we are to be true followers, we also have to be doers of good and not evil. But, unfortunately, our basic sin nature, which gives us heightened desires for the...
-
The importance of knowing the trustworthiness of Jesus!
In this deceitful and greedy world no human being can be trusted to the nth degree! And that's an indisputable fact, for man is tainted by sin, and sin is not trustworthy. The ONLY trustworthy being in this universe is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and He showed it by shedding His sinless…
more -
The overwhelming importance of believers not succumbing to worry!
Worry does not come from God, but is the devil's instigation of fear in our lives. When we have faith, we don't worry, and when we worry, as Jesus says, our faith is small. Remember that God hasn't given us a spirit of fear or worry, but one of power, LOVE and of a strong or disciplined mind. (2...
-
The importance of seeking God while we're alive.
This earthly life has but two options, to live in sin, or seek the righteousness of God. And sin, though it may seem pleasureable in the beginning, always leads to undesirable consequences. And that's why our world is currently in so much turmoil; too many of us have chosen the sinful and...
-
the overwhelming importance of thanking and praising God!
Friends, without our great God we'd be sitting ducks for Satan, but through Him we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life, things that necessitate lots of praise and thankfulness. Yes, just consider what our options would be if we didn't have a great and LOVING God nuh. Hellfire and damnation...
-
The importance of seeking God and His kingdom FIRST!
Yes Friends, if we don't want to be taken in by the devil and all his evil schemes, we must make it our imperative to seek God and His kingdom before all else. Otherwise we can be overcome and overtaken by any of the many serious ills that now exist in our world. And remember that though God gave...
-
The overwhelming importance of knowing Jesus!
Ah friends, knowing Jesus is indeed important, but accepting Him as Lord and Saviour is even more important, because it's only through Him can one gain salvation and eternal life. That's the only way you will ever see the Father's face in heaven. All other options only lead to hell fire and...
-
The overwhelming importance of being good ambassadors for Christ!
Friends, here on earth we are the hands and feet, the body of Christ. He's using us to do His earthly work, and we're certainly not doing a good job otherwise our world would not be as evil and strife-filled as it is. And that puts the blame solely on our shoulders for the Lord has given us all…
more -
The overwhelming importance of accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour!
Now, we all talk about going to heaven, when the roll is called up yonder...and some of us will go, but many will not because they have not received Christ as Lord and Saviour, and He said it quite clearly, that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no man comes to the Father but through…
more -
he importance of believers sincerely heeding God's Word!
The Lord says, 'seek me and ye shall live.' What don't we understand about that eh? If the Creator and Controller of the universe says something like that, shouldn't we in all wisdom believe it? Yes, if we are wise, and not the playthings of Satan, who keeps us enslaved in darkness and the…
more -
The importance of having LOVE as our number one attribute!
Yesterday we saw how important LOVE was to the relationship between God and man, and between man and man. Today we're intensifying that relationship with some more scriptures on how LOVE contributes to the wellbeing of mankind and our world. Also the fact that anger and sin and all the evil...
-
The importance of LOVE in a believer's life!
What makes the world go round eh? LOVE! That's because God LOVED us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die so our sins could be forgiven. It was only LOVE that made Him do it. Therefore, if we are to show proper respect for God's goodness and mercy, we should also be reciprocating...
-
The importance of Jesus' peace in a Christian's life!
Jesus is the Prince of Peace, so it stands to reason that if you don't know Him, then you cannot acquire His kind of peace, the ONLY true peace there is. The world spouts a whole lot of hogwash about peace which is only Satan's wolf-like deceit dressed in sheep's clothing, because he doesn't…
more -
The overwhelming importance of Christians maturing in their faith!
Like everything in this world, we can only improve our knowledge and practice when we spend time learning about whatever we want to do. The same thing applies to Christianity. To be able to put it into practice, we must learn as much as possible about it, spend time in the Word of God and then…
more -
The overwhelming importance of Christ's body of believers dwelling in unity together!
For any organization or group to succeed, there must be a coming together of minds and ideas, and the following of one general plan, otherwise chaos will eventually take over. And unfortunately, that's what's happening in the body called Christ's church. We are supposed to be ONE, but we are so...
-
The importance of Jesus as our Comforter and Caregiver!
There are no easy steps in this earthly life, that means we all face troubles and trials, disappointments and disillusions, as we try to walk a careful life. And those times of despair can hit us real hard, and if we're not careful even drive us to harming ourselves. But fortunately that's never...
-
The importance of knowing Man's short life span.
Man's life on earth is tough and also short. That means we have to use it to the best of our ability; make the most of the opportunities that come our way, especially that wonderful opportunity to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour, and be assured of salvation and eternal life, for that's the best...
-
The overwhelming importance of believers controlling their thoughts and actions.
Simply put, life is a battle, fought on the battlefield of our minds. That means all the people out there are fighting to control our minds, to control what we think, talk about and therefore do. Now there are all sorts of evil and ungodly powers and people involved in this battle for supremacy...
-
The importance of giving thanks and praise to Almighty God.
God has made preparation for all of our needs from the time we're born to the time He takes us home. But we have to read His Word and listen to His Holy Spirit to understand what's necessary for us to get all we are entitled to. And thus, it also behooves us to give God thanks and praise for His...
-
The importance of Christians being very careful in their speech!
Life is made good or bad by the words we speak to each other. We can speak either pleasant and uplifting words, or unpleasant and hurting ones. But as Christians, we need to focus on good and pleasant words, because that's the example Jesus set for us during His sojourn here on earth, and it's…
more -
The importance of acclamations in a believer's life.
In this evil and ungodly world, it's necessary for Christians to know bits of useful scripture that they can learn and speak out loud to help them in their everyday Christian walk. These acclamations as we call them, boost our spirits and strengthen our belief in Christ by giving us confidence in...
-
The importance of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life!
Our Triune God is made up of three people, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father sent the Son to save the world by dying on the cross at Calvary, then rising on Easter Sunday. Then when the Son returned to heaven to be seated at His right hand and intercede for us, the Father sent…
more -
The overwhelming importance of Christ's shed blood to the Christian faith!
Simply put friends, without the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross of Calvary on Good Friday, we would still be headed straight for purgatory or hellfire and damnation; eternal separation from Almighty God! For without the shedding of blood, sinless blood like Christ's no permanent atonement...
-
The importance of believers knowing the great importance of the Old Testament to the New Testament!
The Old Testament is basically a foreshadowing of the New Testament. Thus a lot of stuff, like promises and prophecy can be found in the Old Testament and be fulfilled or manifested in the New. From the beginning of the Bible, the appearance of Jesus on earth was prophesied and spoken of as the...
-
The importance of NEVER giving up on God!
In this life we never know what trials and tribulations might come against us, or when, but one thing is certain, if we stay attached and surrendered to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, He will eventually turn our circumstances around. And if He doesn't, for whatever reason we may not like, or...
-
The importance of recognizing Jesus as the Light of the world!
Ah friends, evil has overtaken our world, and that evil hides itself in darkness, so that it's deeds cannot be known, and keeps all evil doers in that darkness. But Jesus came to earth that we could escape that evil darkness and have the light of eternal life through His death and resurrection.…
more -
The importance of new believers putting on His new mantle!
The world is evil and ungodly, we all know that, but in Christ we can make both good individual and worldwide changes. However, the individual change must come before the worldwide one, where believers must put on the new man in Christ; that's accept Christ's new godliness and way of living…
more -
The importance of Christians growing in spiritual maturity!
Life is a complex affair, and the Christian faith, is no different. Though we can come to faith quite easily, because it's the gift of God, we then need to work out our own salvation, that's live the way Christ desires His followers to live. We need to learn Christ's word, study it, and then put…
more -
The importance of believers truly reverencing the Lord!
There is only ONE way to true success, and that's by doing what the Lord says in His Word. Read your Bible, study it, and then put what it says into action! It's as simple as that! And yes, that's not always easy to do, but if we truly want to do it, with the Lord's help, we certainly can. But it...
-
The importance of recognizing Jesus' magnificent work on our behalf.
Friends, if Jesus did not do what He's done in a rather selfless manner, we would not have salvation and eternal life right now. Therefore it's utterly important to recognize His overwhelming importance in the scheme of things, and give Him His rightful praise and glory. The Father recognized it...
-
The overwhelming importance of LOVE and OBEDIENCE in a believer's life!
If Christ is our End All and Be All, then we need to do whatever He says, and live the way He desires of us. Otherwise, we will not be showing others that we are His sincere followers. And that, unfortunately, will diminish and destroy all that Jesus has worked so hard and suffered so much to...
-
The overwhelming importance of OBEDIENCE in a believer's life!
If we consider the Lord our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, then it's of the utmost importance that we obey them as soon as possible. Remember that obedience put off till we feel like doing it is still disobedience in the Lord's eyes. It's necessary that we do His bidding in the...
-
The overwhelming importance of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour!
Oh friends our world is in a sad state, and the only way we can handle it, or whatever comes against us, is by having Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, for Satan, our other choice as leader, doesn't have a single good thing to offer; nothing but hell, death and the grave. Meanwhile, when Jesus died…
more -
The ramification of Easter in a believer's life Part 2!
Good Friday determined that our sins were paid for, while Easter Sunday and Christ's resurrection ensured that all those who believe in Him will also rise again from the dead and have eternal life, spend eternity with Him. And if that isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, I don't know what...
-
The ramifications of Easter Part 1.
Ah friends, Easter is one of the most important times in our Christian calendar, but do we really understand what happened two thousand years ago, and truly appreciate it? Not all of us. Two basic things happened: Christ died on Good Friday to pay for our sins, then He was rose from the dead on...
-
The importance of BALANCE in a believer's life!
In this world, we can either do too much or too little of anything. The important thing though is to find a comfortable balance in most of what we do. That includes our diet, our work and play, our fitness, as well as our time with God. The latter being possibly the most important of them all.…
more -
The overwhelming importance of Christ's Resurrection!
Oh friends, we all know that someday we'll die and our bodies will be buried and return to the dust from which they were made, but our spirits will still be alive and either go to heaven or hell, depending on whom we believe in, Jesus or Satan. And the only reason why heaven is even an option for...
-
The importance of prophecy in Christ's life!
A lot of the Old Testament speaks to Christ's coming in the New Testament. None more so than Isaiah's prophetic words of the Servant of the Lord found in chapter 53. It might be spoken in old fashioned Old Testament language, but there's no misunderstanding that it refers to Christ's coming and…
more -
The overwhelming importance of Good Friday in the Christian faith!
We all talk about atonement and payment for sins, but do we know how that was really accomplished? Only by Christ suffering and dying on the cross at Calvary on Good Friday for us! That's how we can talk about forgiveness of sin. The Father required Christ's sinless life to pay for our abominable...
-
The importance of Maundy Thursday to our faith.
Maundy Thursday gave us several things in our faith. First, Jesus inspired our ceremony of holy communion when He broke bread and offered it, along with wine to the disciples in recognition of His broken body and shed blood that would happen the next day, Good Friday. Then He washed the…
more -
The overwhelming importance of believers truly living their faith!
Too many of us supposed Christians say one thing then do something else. That's not right! That's why Jesus called the Pharisees 'hypocrites.' They desired the people to do things that they did not do themselves, teaching man's traditions more than God's law. And it's exactly what's happening in...
-
The overwhelming importance of believing that Almighty God LOVES us!
Friends, God created us out of a desire to have strong and faithful communion with us, and consequently showered His great, unconditional LOVE upon us. He wanted creatures to communicate with, so He decided to create a being in His own image, with His breath of life flowing through it. Now, if…
