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.

FAITH LIKE A MUSTARD SEED

FAITH LIKE A MUSTARD SEED

MAIN TEXT: LUKE 17:5–6 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

2 Corinthians 5:7—”For we live by faith, not by sight.”

Faith is so vital to the Christian life that Scripture tells us that, without it, it is impossible to please God. Yet, faith is such a powerful gift from God. Faith helps us to know that in all situations God has our back. No matter what we can get through, God is with us.

Faith is thus the absence of fear. The world is a fearful place, and our heroes, government, money, and our strength cannot dispel our fear. Woe to anyone who put their trust in man or man-made things, and destruction is calling the person who relies on idols because they will surely disappoint. When the world gets tough, our faith is being tried.

Mark 4:32—”but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” The growing of our faith is the expectation of God, when we put our faith to work, we are growing our faith. Some people have banked their faith, and they’re living on another person’s faith, which will not produce a maximum result.

GROW YOUR FAITH BEYOND THE MUSTARD SEED

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, teach me how best to apply my faith and to increase my faith in Jesus’ name, Amen.
