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.

GOD’S KINGDOM FIRST

GOD’S  KINGDOM FIRST

MAIN TEXT: Matthew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness’ and all these things shall be added unto you. (KJV)

Philippians 4:13 (KJV) – “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth, me”

Putting God first and His kingdom should be your first priority as a child of God. God has given you the ability to prioritize accordingly for He has said you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you. For you to seek God’s kingdom first, you must love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with your entire being. Beloved, Jesus is saying to you this moment that “I am the vine, you are the branches and apart from Him you can do nothing. Give no opportunity to the devil. In 2 Corinthians 8:5 says; “And this they did, not as hoped, but first have their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God” (KJV). The word of God is encouraging us today to acknowledge God in all our ways so that He will make straight our paths.

Seeking “God’s kingdom first,” is all you need to overcome depression, limitations, challenges and to be great and fulfilled in life.

Beloved, why worry of what you will eat, drink, work, or the fruit of the womb etc? When your Heavenly Father knows your needs and will supply them to you. All that God wants from you is for you to seek His kingdom first and every other thing will be added to you. Therefore, present your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  Conform not to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.

SEEK GOD FIRST AND GOD WILL PROSPER YOU FIRST

 Prayer Point: Oh God, give me the grace to seek your kingdom first in all I do.
