God will test our walk with him and try it to see where we stand in our relationship with him. We need always to keep this in mind. Sometimes we will have to go through the fire, and we will have to suffer; it is inevitable. In this life, the work of everyone will be tried by the fire of God. It is how God chose to do things; there is no escaping this. Just know that the more you suffer, the stronger you will be; if we suffer with Christ, we can reign with Christ. If we don't suffer now, we will suffer throughout eternity later.

The scriptures used are 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Isaiah 28:16, 1 Timothy 6:17-19, Job 23:10, Psalm 66:8-10, 1 Samuel 17:40, 49, 1 Corinthians 6:19- 20.

First Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay then that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

So often, we want God to do things our way, we think we know best, but God says my ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts. God's ways are past finding out. We need to let God do what He does because He knows best, and we need to stop leaning on our own understanding, for we don't know what's good for us, but God does. If we wait for the Lord to do what He will do in our life, we will be blessed because we never gave up. If we do this, we will never regret it.

The scriptures used are John 9:1-7, Genesis 45:4-8, 50:20, Mark 4:35-41, John 5:1-9, 1 Timothy 6:11-14, Matthew 11:2-6, 1 Peter 5:10-11.

It is terrible to live a life contrary to God's commandments; the Bible says in Amos 5:18, Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? The day of the Lord is darkness and not light. But when you live a pleasing and acceptable life unto the Lord, denying your flesh and walking in the spirit. It is written in second Peter 3:12, Looking for and hasting the coming of the day of God wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

The scriptures used are 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, 6:15-20, 1 Peter 2:9-12, Luke 5:20-24, 20:20-23, 2 Peter 3:8-14, Titus 2:11-15.

Many people read their Bible and pray when they go to church, but at their house, they use curse words, lie, and talk pervertedly; these things should not be done. God does not accept those who speak things that are not right. You cannot get fresh water and saltwater out of the same fountain; therefore, our mouth needs to be clean at all times and our conversation pure.

The scriptures used are Psalm 17:1-7, 2 Samuel 11:6-8, Judges 16:15-16, 1 Kings 13:16-18, Genesis 3:3-5, James 3:2-6, Psalm 141:1-3.

I know that in this day and time, we are so preoccupied with many things in this world till we don't read or pray as we should, but we need to change that. We need to gather as much food from Jesus as possible; don't let anything stop us from gathering.

Everything created to grow or move needs to do just that, or it will deteriorate or die; for example, cars, bikes, airplanes, and tools need to be used. Spiritual life is the same way. If we do not continue to move spiritually and grow in Christ, we will be unfruitful and die.

The scriptures used are Hebrews 6, Luke 11:24-26, Matthew 3:10-12, Galatians 6:9-10, Philippians 3:13, Romans 12:11.

Giving God anything less than the best won't do you any good. God is a jealous God, and it is written, His name is Jealous. God will not accept anything less than the best, so you're wasting your time if you want to give God something mediocre.

Going to church once a week will make a very unhealthy relationship with Jesus; you cannot have a strong relationship with anyone talking to them for one or two hours a week. You need to live with someone to get to know them, and It's the same way with Jesus. We need to praise him constantly, give him thanks always, communicate with him every day, read the Bible, and give ourselves to reading and praying; spending time with Jesus every day will build a strong and healthy relationship.

Scriptures used, are Matthew 26:38-41, Colossians 4:2, James 4:8, Daniel 6:10, Luke 6:12, Hebrews 4:15-16, John 15:14-15, Jeremiah 33:3, Joshua 24:14
