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.

SPIRIT FILLED LIFE

SPIRIT FILLED LIFE

MAIN TEXT: ROMANS 8:5

For they that are after the flesh do- mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:13- For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

We cannot have the life of God except we carry the Holy Spirit in us. The life of God is with the spirit of God. This life of God in the Holy Spirit is what makes the difference between a Christian and the unbelievers. The Holy Spirit life is what we need to be true Christians. Jesus Christ spoke this; John 14:16 “And I will pray the father and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever.

The life we are actually talking about is not the life of men but the life of God. The life that knows no sin nor shame.

Anybody who is after fleshly desires cannot have the life of the Spirit of God. The life of the Spirit is unique and it is of its class. Except the Holy Spirit gives you that life, nobody can attain to such. Paul warned us that if we live according to the flesh, that death is inevitable.

The Spirit of God has nothing to do with unrighteousness and the partisan spirit present in the gatherings of so many people is not godly. The life of a Christian should express the life of God that carries peace, Joy, light, power and Holiness.

AIM FOR THIS SPIRIT FILLED LIFE, IT IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

PRAYER POINT-Spirit of the living God come afresh upon me and manifest through me. Show yourself to the world in my life.
