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.

SERVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY

Main Text: Ephesians 6:7

With Good will doing service, as to the Lord and not to men.

1 Samuel 12:24-Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all you heart” for consider how great things hath done for you.

It is wisdom serving God with all your heart and body. There is great gain serving and working for the Almighty God who pays us in abundance. God is the chief controller of all the blessings in the universe and He is too faithful to fail. He is an agreement keeper and not an agreement breaker.

Money can finish but blessings are eternal gifts of God to man especially to those who serve without tricks and murmuring. It takes the fear of the Lord, to serve God in truth. Quite a number of people that call upon the name of the Lord, lack the fear of God in their service.

Serving God requires placing value to His work because you must be a man of clean hands and a pure heart. So many are serving with stained hands and hearts far away from God while others have only learnt the skill and language of the church but their lives do not speak about Jesus Christ such people have no reward in glory with God. Let no man, woman, church, job and circumstance of life negatively affect your worthy service to God.

GOD’S INTEREST IS ON THE SERVICE AND THE SERVANTS.

Prayer Point: Oh God, make me a worthy servant to receive my worthy rewards.
