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.

GOD IS NOT DEAF

Main Text: Isaiah 59: 1

Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy, that he cannot hear.

Isaiah 65:24

It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer out while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

We always pray for God’s intervention in our cases but most times we are not ready to follow God’s precepts and to hearken to his voice. After deviating from his instructions, we still expect him to answer our prayers as fast as possible when we call on him. The scripture above made it clear that the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy. Brethren, when you look into the bible you will see so many people who encountered God in the time of trouble but because they were obedient and humble, God never failed to answer them whenever they called on him. God is always at your door post to answer your prayers when you acknowledge your mistakes and come unto him in submission. Remember there is an enemy that breaches the relationship between us and God and that is Satan through sin. The bible says that “sin” is a reproach – a hindrance to the children of God. Never allow the power of sin to over shadow the Spirit man in you. Don’t think God does not answer prayer but believe that he is too mighty to save depending on your relationship with him. God is not deaf; he is a covenant keeping God. He cannot promise and not fulfill it.

HUMBLE YOURSELF AND PRAY, GOD WILL HEAR YOU

Prayer point – I humble myself to you, Oh God. Come and answer me quickly and deliver me
