Christian Words of Encouragement

Good quality and pleasing to look at can be described as excellent. Only the excellent things will deem priceless and worth while to be called a classic. Without pursuing excellence, life will remain bland and lukewarm at best. The quest for excellence fuels your fire and keeps you from just drifting downstream gathering debris. “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other. So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth”. (Revelation 3: 16-16 NIV) To achieve excellent, one must not be undecided in what his/she is pursuing. A firm and steady action will be the evident when it comes to achieving. You must be excellent in all that you do, from your physical to spiritual, and the natural must be in excellent shape. For example, as you prepared to go to work, be the best that can be. As you engage in conversation with your cow workers or any one else, let you conversation be morally in good stan...

Building life is just like structuring a building. You want to build it so it could withstand from generation to generation. When you are dead on gone, your building (life) should still be function and operating as normal. This is why the scripture says that you should never consume all inheritance; leave some for you children’s children, meaning your grand children. Proverbs 17:6, Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. (NLT) The grand children are the one who should gain the most of what you do in life. If you look at life in a long term sense, you could never go wrong. Here is an explanation: Your grand children are you children’s children. You are the grandchild of your mother’s parent. Your mother is the grand child of her parent’s parent. In others, every person mention in this statement is a grand child, and will receive the crowning glory. The object is to think towards the future and build on it. Here is an example: Acc...

In the book of John, the author writes in conjunction with what Jesus said. He said, Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My [God’s] purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. John 10:9–10 (NLT) It’s so unfortunate that we cannot get away from life’s occurrences. Sometimes, we try our best to avoid and hide from encountering situations, but the true fact is that we always bump right into them. This is because there is an adversary who intended to kill, steal and destroy your dreams and desires. This is where a great majority of situations and circumstances come to hinder your goals in life. Avoiding them can be a difficult task, but if you happened to be involved in any situation, here is where the purpose of Jesus comes into the picture. He said that He is the gateway to resolving any situation, and if you make the decision of goin...

There is no other love quite like a mother’s. In any person’s life, there will be no one who is as unconditionally caring, loving, forgiving, and patient as one’s mother. Being a mother is one of the great missions in life, and anyone who takes on the role is really to be commended. There is no salary for being a mother; the payment for this job is the unconditional love of your child. Being a mother means putting your children or family first before anything else. The love and care is so great and endless that she will even give her own food to her child who is hungry. A mother can sacrifice what would have been for her just to be able to give her child what he or she wants and needs. When it comes to being a mother and making the right decisions, there are certain things that must be remembered. A good mother can always carry out these things to the best of her ability. 1. Never makes decisions under pressure. A good mother avoids making rash decisions. She is always cool and c...

This question is often asked, is there really a God, or is there some kind of force that controls our every thought? How about the people who claim they are preaching the word of God. Are they full of baloney? How about this thing call prayer, does it really work? You get on your knees and bow your head, or some other posture position, and then you begin to speak to the air, claiming there is someone listening to you. Then you wait for a response to whatever you are praying for. It may sound like something no normal person would do. However, do not try to analyze or figure out how prayer works; all you need to know is it works every time, if you do it the right way. Just think for a moment. What happens if there really is a God? That would mean that there really is a thing called prayer. That is something to think about, isn’t it? If you are sure there is a God, then be sure that there is prayer, God and prayer are inseparable, and they c...
