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.

Rebuke that evil Spirit

Rebuke that evil Spirit

Main Text: James 4:7 – “ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil
and he will flee from you.”

1 Peter 5:9 – Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the
family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

As soldiers of Christ, we must put on the “whole armor of God” (Eph. 6:11) to
combat these evil spirits and destroy their strongholds of concentrated power of darkness whether in the air, on land and in the sea. It is a spiritual warfare that is fought in an invisible level. Yes, we fight not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers of darkness having diverse crafts, manipulations, systems and techniques with which they operate against people.

The bible said in Revelations 12:7-9 that all the angels that supported Lucifer.s
rebellion in heaven were defeated and cast down to earth with their master, Satan. Those angels, the bible said lost their glory and became evil spirits. Evil Spirits despise and envy man.s heritage in Christ Jesus. Their chief desire is to destroy human life especially believers and bring sorrow to the heart of God, our heavenly Father.

If you are in Christ, you should carry the mindset that devils fear you and they are under your feet. Do not be terrified by them. Use the name of Jesus Christ to rebuke them constantly.

YOU CARRY A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AGAINST THE DEVIL

Prayer – I rebuke every devil opposing my joy and prosperity. Bow in the name of Jesus Christ.
