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 PATIENT ENOUGH

JANUARY 21 MONDAY

Be Patient Enough

Text: Psalm 40:1 (KJV) “I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined unto me, and heard my cry”

Second text: Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of Him who prospers in His way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass‟ – Psalm 37:7 (KJV)

King David the writer of the book of Psalms as we all know went through a lot of battles in life. He (David) was pursued like a fugitive by King Saul several times to kill him because God’s blessing on his life but King Saul could not succeed for God was with David.

Today, we want to learn from the encounter and experiences of David. There is a need to imbibe the attributes of patience: a good virtue that saw him through the stormy times. To achieve patience, we need to pray that the Holy Spirit of God to release it into our life. Patience with God to the fulfillment of that desired we have earnestly prayed for. Also we need patience to deal with people in our environment in order to live in peace with our neighbors just as Christ instructs.

Above all, when there is delay to answer to our prayers, we must learn to be patient and wait on God to give an answer to our request: The virtue patience work hand in clove with waiting diligently because in the process of diligent waiting will God incline to answer our prayer.

Patience is a great virtue that every true child of God must possess.

Prayer Point: Oh! God, release the virtue of patience to me in Jesus Name.
