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.

GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU

MAIN TEXT: LUKE 6:38a – Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over, shall men give unto your bosom.

Proverbs 11:25 – The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over shall men give to the giver who is kind enough to share of his resources. The reward of God for the faithful giver is truly enormous and man cannot really carry it enough. The man that is liberal will find people liberal to him especially in receiving favour.

We are supposed to have the spirit of giving, we should not be compelled always to give. The heart of a giver is excited when there is an opportunity to give. We should not be boastful in giving. As we give secretly, God will announce and reward us publicly.

Blessed is the one that gives, than the hand that receives. Mark 4:24 “And he said unto them Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you; and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Beloved, the “tree” is known by its fruits, may the word of Jesus Christ be grateful in our hearts that we may be fruitful in every good word and work.

THERE IS BLESSING IN GIVING FROM THE HEART

PRAYER: Oh GOD grant me the spirit to give and to stay in abundance in Jesus name
