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.

Angels on Duty

Angels on Duty

Main Text: Psalm 91:11-12 “For He will command His angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you
strike your foot against a stone”.

Hebrew 1:14- Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation”

In scripture, we are told that angels have many roles. In view of this, Talmud has this to say, “Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, „Grow! Grow!.”. Also from the scripture we learnt that these angels are spirits that were sent forth to minister to us accordingly. They have various duties such as, battle fighters, watchers, revealers, praise givers and worshippers to God.

Martin Luther added that “you should be certain that there angels protecting you also in your business, whether you enter or leave your home”. Wow! This is
amazing! What a great privilege! Jesus tells us that every child has an angel that beholds the face of their heavenly Father Mathew 18:10. What a great love. Remember, angels are not God, they are not meant to be worshipped but to serve you. Don.t offend them. As you can see, God offers His pure and selfless love through His angels. It is very sad that God has given His angels charge over us, yet we do not know the weapon in our disposal.

We can as well send them on assignment using the word of God and the name of Jesus Christ.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! YOUR ANGELS ARE ON DUTY!

Prayer Point: My Father, My Father, open my eyes to see the angels in my
disposal in every moment of my life and walk with you in Jesus name Amen.
