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.

BE PREPARED

BE PREPARED

MAIN TEXT: PROVERBS 30:25-26

“The Ants are people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the Rocks.”

2 Peter 3:14- Wherefore beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.

The word of God from where we took our text used the ants though considered to be the smallest insect, but very smart. They store up food during the dry season, in order not to be swept away by the flood during the raining season.

The secret of success in life is to be ready, when the time comes. Life is not a rehearsal but sadly many of us do not get prepared to face with the challenges of life. You cannot for instance pass an exam unless you read for the same. We should learn to lead our lives and not accept whatever that comes to us.

Nothing great, is created suddenly. Success does not occur over night, and neither does failure. Each is a process. The question is what are we preparing for? How ready are we, to receive Jesus Christ at His second coming? Are we so carried away by the mundane things of this life that we are almost loosing focus about his second coming? Remember the word of God says that he will come like a thief at midnight – 2Peter3:10. So get prepared to meet the Lord by living a Holy, and righteous life in order not to be taken unawares.

BE READY AT ALL TIMES.

Prayer Point- Heavenly Father, Help me so that in all that I do I will not miss heaven.
