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.

LIFE AFTER DEATH

Main text-John 14:1-3(KJV)-Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Revelation 3:21 (KJV)-To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

The ultimate goal of every believer is to enjoy life after death. From where we read in our main text, Jesus told us that He has gone to prepare a place for us which is heaven. The essence of Jesus coming is to save mankind from destruction and to open the door of heaven which had been shut against us (Luke 19:10). Nevertheless, only those who overcome will make it to heaven. The question then is: “What are we to overcome?” We are to overcome Satan, sin and the world. We are to overcome lusts of the flesh and all evil thoughts and imaginations of our heart. We can only overcome these vices not by our own strength and struggle but by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us. This power is made available to us the moment we believe and receive Christ Jesus as Lord and saviour(John 1:12). By this power we are enabled to live victorious sin-free lives.

Only the sons of God will inherit the kingdom of God and the sons of God are those who are led by the spirit of God. If must make heaven, we are not just to have the Holy Spirit living inside of us, but we must also allow Him to lead and direct our lives. We must allow the Holy spirit in us to influence our decision and choices at very point in time. A life influenced by the HOLY SPIRIT is a righteous and holy life and it is the life that will make heaven..

ONLY A HOLY LIFE WILL LIVE EVEN AFTER DEATH

Prayer Point:Lord, empower me strength to manifest the reality of the truth that I am dead to sin, Jesus name.
