*1.* “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” *2* “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” *3* “I do not ask that you…
Yes, eternal dividends: “for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:20, BLB). Even our bodies are not our own! Yes, we cannot do with them as we want and please God. If we sow to the flesh, we will reap corruption. But if we sow to the Spirit, we will reap eternal dividends. That’s it!!!
Yes, set apart unto God. “Holy” means to be set apart unto God. Another word for holy is “sanctified” and also “sacred”. “Holy” means that because God has set us aside for Himself, our lives and all we are and do are to be set apart for Him. Here it is: “For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the…
*1.* “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” *2* “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” *3* “Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. *4* “And God is able to make all grace…
With this kind of prayer line, and I quote: “Father, thank You that when the challenges I face look bigger, stronger, and more powerful than I can handle, You will show out with Your power, so others will know that You are God. Thank You for You are on my side. Display Your power through me today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” God finalise His act of showing up for you; that’s what God will do for you. You can try…
Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants!” (Daniel 3:28, NIV). God will speak for you and show up for you. In Daniel 3, when three Hebrew teenagers wouldn’t bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, they were thrown into a fiery furnace. They should have perished instantly, but they were miraculously spared. After the teenagers came out unharmed, King Nebuchadnezzar, who had been against them and…
*1.* “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.” *2* “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” *3* “For we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man. *4* “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven…
When you had received answers to your prayer, what next? Paul was the same speaker who said, ” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13). Yet he also said, “Our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears” (2 Corinthians 7:5). Paul knew the victorious life in Jesus, but he was sincere in telling how things were. He had seen answers to prayer, but he…
Jack Hayford once said, “An honest and forthright disclosure is an important feature of our understanding the believing life. There is something about walking in the light of a transparent relationship that advances the purifying work of God’s grace in our lives.” According to the Scripture, “For we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.” (2 Corinthians 8:2, ESV). That’s it!!!
