Many believed in Berea because they searched the Scriptures daily to confirm what they heard from gospel preachers. Understanding the Scriptures brings about salvation, growth and establishment in the faith. It is the Word of God in the heart that makes solid, stable and consistent believers.

Some things that you do may not be evil in themselves but can cause others to stumble. Therefore, for the sake of others who Christ died for, we must abstain from all appearance of evil. Every heaven-bound child of God must ensure that their good works are not evil spoken of: considering others in all that they do.

Men may forget you but God will surely remember you. He will send help and deliver you in due time. Joseph requested the chief butler to remember and mention him to Pharaoh but he forgot until God created the situation that announced Joseph before Pharaoh. Learn to put your trust in the Lord. Joseph did not need the help of man for his God-given dreams to be fulfilled. God will never share His glory with any man. You need God, not a god-father.

Sin deceives, therefore it is needful to remind ourselves daily about the warnings in the Scriptures and remain watchful. We cannot afford to be careless with our Christian life because many in the past and in contemporary times have been and are being deceived out of the straight narrow way. Be not deceived: the wages of sin is death and whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. A little sin has the power to damn your soul in hell.

Many are being deceived to take pleasure in committing secret sin, not knowing that those who have gone before them are already in the depths of hell. Be not deceived, even your evil thoughts are loud enough in the ears of the Lord and they are punishable by Him except you repent. Be warned and endeavour to live your life before the Lord rather than before men.
