BECOME A BETTER YOU

MAIN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 6:17
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you”.

JEREMIAH 29:13 “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Beloved of God, for you to be really redeemed of the Lord, you must adopt a new way of living.
One thing that can come upon a new creature in Christ is the departure from curses to blessings.

Apostle Paul encourages us to be transformed rather than being conformed to this world of sin (Romans 12:1-2). The truth of the matter is that only those who are in Christ can experience the new things God promises us in His word.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

When a person accepts Jesus as His or Her Lord and Saviour, such a person automatically become dead to the old life, every link with the old life is cut off. Every new creature in Christ submits to His Lordship.
From the point of rebirth, we begin to hunger for righteousness by pursuing purity, honesty, justice, love, humility and service to humanity. It starts from a new mind. You immediately begin to think differently from the old ways to such an extent that your new behavior and a better you may seem strange, even to you. This new life in Christ comes with the assurance of abundant life here on earth and even in heaven.

THE LIFE THAT IS TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST STANDS OUT

PRAYER: Father, as a new creature in Christ, please help me to always live according to your word in Jesus Name. Amen.

GIFT MAKES WAY

GIFT MAKES WAY

Main Text: Proverbs 18:16 – A man gifts maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

Proverbs 19:6 – Many seek the favour of the prince, and everyone is a friend of a gift giver.

Releasing or presenting gift will never fail. Indeed, gift enriches a man and brings honour and glory. A man.s gift is a way maker for him especially if it is utilised properly. One can channel his gift wrongly although you may get expected results but any achievement that displeases God is a sin in the sight of God. Gift are natural or divine endowment bestowed on every illiteracy pertaining to gifts but there is ignorance of the deposits of some gifts in us. Beloved, if you have tried all you can and still have not succeeded, discover your gift and stir it up. Apply your gift with perseverance and consistency, you must record breakthrough and finally stand out. Honour and glory are always with the gifted man who is putting his gift to work.

These gifts are those things or acts that you did not actually learn or struggle to possess. They are the little manifestations of God.s nature of creativity. Another thing that can open a man.s door of prosperity and glory is by being a giver. Givers are friends to many and people are attracted to them. of course, givers do not lack as God has made it so. A closed and locked door may not open by prayers but by giving gifts. A man.s heart can be turned with gifts even God. Be wise and advertise your gifts for your great honour and breakthroughs.

THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN.S GIFT BRINGS FULFILMENT OF HIS DESTINY

Prayer Point: Oh God!, Let my gifts shine brightly in the world and give me divine relevance in my life.
