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.

SHINING BRIGHTER

SHINING BRIGHTER


MAIN TEXT: ISAIAH 60:1
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

MATTHEW 5: 16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

To ‘Shine Brighter’ means to glow, bring forth light and radiate the glory of God. It’s also that beauty of JESUS CHRIST in us that attracts men to God.

We are in the world that grows dark day by day, which is as the result of devil’s activities seen in the economy, men have sold their souls to the devil and now resorted to sin just to survive, hence sin has taken the place of righteousness in man. It is an abomination!

Are you still holding onto your Faith in the midst of those challenges of life or have you sold your birth-right?
Today, we are urged not to keep the light of God in us in the hiding that you have no or little positive impart in life, but it’s time to ARISE and SHINE BRIGHTER in Truth, Integrity, Love for God and Humanity, Justice and Holiness.

IF YOU ARE NOT SHINING, YOU WILL BE RELEGATED AND TRAMPLED


PRAYER – I decree that I must shine and darkness cannot stop me in Jesus name.
