10 important reasons why we need to read and obey the Bible

Hi there, my dear reader! I f you are a Christian and a devout believer of JESUS CHRIST, you maybe are reading the Bible daily. However, if you are not a believer yet, you might be finding some reasons why some people believe it is important to read and obey the Bible. Whoever you are I am telling you that it is very important to read and obey the Bible. Here are the reasons why: 1.) It is the Word of GOD and it is truth. John 17:17 tells us that the Word of GOD is truth. So if you are in doubt if the things written in the Bible are true it is now time to reject all your doubts and replace it with belief, acceptance, and obedience. 2.) It is our guide to life and living. Psalms 119:105 says Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. It means the Bible contains all of the LORD JESUS’ important instructions to us that will help us live life better. In the Bible, we can find helpful pieces of advice on how to deal with problems, persecutions, a...

The godly secret to achieving peace

Achieving peace sometimes seems impossible especially when we face seemingly insurmountable trials and problems. We lose our peace when we are suffering from a heartbreaking situation, failures, oppression, maltreatment, and rejection. These situations grab our peace leaving us confused, distressed, discouraged, and restless. Also, most of the time we lose our peace when something is bothering or troubling us. In the Bible, however, there are two people who lost their peace because of sin and guilt. King Saul lost his peace when he sinned against the LORD by disobeying the LORD'S command to kill all the Amalekites. He spared the leader of the Amalekites and some of their flocks to be used as a sacrifice for GOD. So GOD gave King Saul a psychological illness giving him no peace (1 Samuel 15-16). Another man who lost his peace because of guilt is Judas Iscariot one of the LORD JESUS' disciples who betrayed Him. Judas lost his peace and was highly troubled after he b...

The importance of having a relationship with CHRIST

Have you ever wondered why the LORD JESUS died for our sins? It is because He wanted to bring us to the Father and reconcile our broken relationship with GOD. If you want to know the importance of having a relationship with the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then this article is for you. But before that, let us understand the meaning of having a relationship with CHRIST. Having a relationship with CHRIST means you have made a conscious decision to stop sinning or repent from your sins and love Him and your neighbors as well. It also means you spend time communicating with Him, worshiping Him, praising Him, and most of all obeying His commands or doing the things that please Him. CHRIST'S primary concern is to love us so He wanted us to love Him too as said in Hosea 6:6 that He desires love and not sacrifice; the knowledge of GOD and not burnt offerings. So why do we need to love CHRIST? We need to love Him and have a relationship with Him because that is one way of fulfilling our pu...

Two important remarks you will hear from JESUS during Judgment

It is clearly stated in the Bible that it is appointed for men to die once and after that, he must face judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Also, 2 Corinthians 5:10 says this, " For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." Now, what are the two important remarks we will hear from CHRIST when we face Him in the Judgment? Here they are: 1.) Well done good and faithful servant! The LORD JESUS told a parable of the bags of gold which is likened to the kingdom of heaven. It is written in Matthew 25:23 that the Master who entrusted five bags of gold to His servant was pleased because the servant put his money to work and gained another five bags so He said this to His servant, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.” In addition, Matthew‬ ...

Fulfilling our purpose of making JESUS and others happy: the secret to happiness

A fter singing praise and worship songs to the LORD JESUS one nice afternoon last week, I remembered that I needed to post another vlog for my YouTube channel. So, I prayed and asked JESUS of the things He wanted to convey so that I can make a video of it and write a blog about it as well. After waiting for JESUS' reply, He finally answered and said that I should write about our purpose. But, I was hesitant because I already have a video and an article about our purpose on my YouTube channel and on this blog. But He insisted that it should be my topic. So I asked Him what He wanted me to write and say. He said that our purpose here on earth is to glorify Him as written in Isaiah 43:7. He says, “They are my own people and I created them, to bring me glory.” The Merriam Webster dictionary defines glory as heavenly happiness. So it means we are created to give glory to CHRIST or to make Him happy. And He said you can bring me glory if you obey the commandments that are to ...

Seven best godly ways to overcome loneliness and depression

Have you experienced being lonely and depressed? That feeling when you wake up in the morning and you feel lonely or when sadness would just creep in without reason? Or that feeling when you know you would be fine but it didn't feel like it? You know that your family loves you but still, you feel unloved? Or that feeling of sadness when you lose your loved one and you feel empty? I call that loneliness. And, now that I have a relationship with CHRIST, I can define loneliness or depression as homesickness for GOD, a longing for someone trustworthy who can make us completely happy. Loneliness and depression are also the results of sin. When I sin, I automatically feel lonely and I feel GOD'S spirit leave me and I feel empty no matter how I try to pacify myself. I have discovered that there really is a void in our hearts that needs to be filled by GOD'S spirit alone. When you are lonely it means you have sinned or is living in sin resulting in a lack of GOD'S pres...
