By Him
Rom.12:2 “Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Today, we pick up from where we stopped yesterday, which is, it is erroneous to believe that once you are under the blood, it does not matter how you live. God shows us in His Word Read the rest of this entry
Paul’s Case
Eph.4:17 “With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused.”
Whereas in Eph.4:1 Paul said, “I beg you…”, in Eph.4:17 he says, “With the Lord’s authority I say this…”. We see a graduation from the picture of a father talking to his children, “I beg you…”. Read the rest of this entry
The Call
Eph.4:1 “Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.” (emphasis added).
Please read Eph.4:1-32 (NRSV). I am certain that just from reading this portion of scripture alone, you have already been blessed. However, we will highlight certain portions over the next few days Read the rest of this entry
Such Love!
Rom.8:38-39 (Voice) “For I have every confidence that nothing—not death, life, heavenly messengers, dark spirits, the present, the future, spiritual powers, height, depth, nor any created thing—can come between us and the love of God revealed in the Anointed, Jesus our Lord.
Eph.3:18-19 “And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.” (emphasis added). Read the rest of this entry
I Pray
Rom.8:38 “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.”
Yesterday, we not only enumerated Paul’s five prayer points from Eph.3:16-19, we also prayed them over our lives by faith in Christ Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
All This
Eph.3:1, 14-15 “When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles . . . When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.” (emphasis added).
When Paul says, “when I think of all this, it forces me to my knees” (paraphrased). He is obviously bowing his knees in worship. But beyond bowing his knees in worship, Read the rest of this entry
Boldly & Confidently!
Heb.4:16 “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
There is nothing that can be done to crush the Church in Nigeria, the Church in every nation of the world (this bit was my addition – thinking globally). Nothing! Read the rest of this entry
GOD’s Intent
Eph.3:9 “I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.”
What is this mysterious plan Paul is speaking about? Paul explained the first part when he said God’s plan was for the Jews and Gentiles to be together in the body. Read the rest of this entry
Chosen
Prov.25:2 “It is God’s privilege to conceal things and the king’s privilege to discover them.”
A lot of people feel guilty when they miss their quiet time. As though God will go hungry because they did not do their quiet time. Why do you feel guilty? Read the rest of this entry
Privilege
Rom.5:2 “Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.”
Matt.20:11-12 “When they received their pay, they protested to the owner, ‘Those people worked only one hour, and yet you’ve paid them just as much as you paid us who worked all day in the scorching heat.'” Read the rest of this entry
