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.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR WORDS?

Main Text: Ephesians 4:29
“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers”.

Proverbs 13:3 – “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction”.

If we want to start seeing the power of God manifest in our lives, we have to start paying attention to what we say. Don’t over estimate the power of words. Satan doesn’t. He works constantly to get you to turn them to a negative direction, so as to use them as a weapon against us. Words have creative power, just as God demonstrated it during creation, we also have been given the authority to do the same thing here on earth.

Ignorantly, most believers at one time or another have been hurt by their tongue. Our words can put smile on someone’s face or bring tears. We can encourage one another with the words we speak or crush the hope and dreams of others. The number of words we speak may not matter but the kind of words we speak and the purpose for which we speak or use them.

Speaking faith filled words is God’s way to bring things into existence. Therefore, as the year begins, determine to take control of your life by getting control of your tongue. Refuse to speak anything other than the word of God about your life or situation, and then watch

BE CAREFUL YOUR WORDS CAN MAKE YOU OR MAR YOU!

Prayer : Lord help me daily to have control over the words of my mouth. Let them be seasoned with grace in Jesus name!
