Christ Suffered For The Sinner

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PROCLAIMS JESUS

Reading: Isaiah 53:7-9

Isaiah 53:8 (NIV)
By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.

Many people wonder, why do we even proclaim Christ at all? What is so exceptional about Him? Is He not just like one of the other religious leaders?

In the books of history, no religious leader died and resurrected, save Christ Jesus. No leader was said to have borne the sins of his people to the point of dying and resurrecting again, but Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was certain of His suffering and death, and even His resurrection, unlike others who where even confused about where they were going. Jesus Christ took away the sins of the world, which every soul is part.

This is why we proclaim Christ wherever  we are. Let others know that Jesus Christ has taken away their sins. Tell them to come to Jesus and sin no more.
Remember Jesus saves all, including me and you.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, unto You be glory and praise. Lord God, empower us to proclaim Christ wherever we are. Amen.

The Value Of The Soul

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PROCLAIMS JESUS

Reading: Mark 8:34-38

Mark 8:36-37 (KJV)
[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul

How precious is the soul of man; it is worth more than everything in the whole world. This was why God told man to have dominion over the earth and every thing there is in it.

Nothing in this world was created after the image of God, except man. Thus, with the exception of death which happens to  both man and animals, you cannot compare the soul of man to anything. However, even after death, the soul lives on.

Dear friend, since you cannot compare the soul of man to anything, but God, nothing can save it; not even yourself; except God. This is why we must hand them over to Christ Jesus and also tell others that Jesus saves without fear. Do not be ashamed to proclaim Jesus today; for your tomorrow is in His hands.
Be blessed always.

Let's Pray:
Mighty God, receive all the blessing and honour. Dear Lord, may we never be ashamed to proclaim Jesus Christ and to make Him known wherever we are. Amen.

The Commission Of Jesus

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PROCLAIMS JESUS

Reading: Matthew 28:19-20

Matthew 28:19 (NIV)
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

It is one thing to know Jesus Christ, and it is another to make Him known. Proclaiming Christ is a commission given to every believer, not just the apostles of Jesus at His time or just some few.

This commission to believers is a command which every believer and Christian must obey. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations": this means that there is no restrictions as to where we can make known.

Dearly beloved, we have a mandate to making disciples in our home, work place, community, wherever. However, unless we have known and accepted Christ and we are living the transformed life in Him, we cannot make Him known to others.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Almighty God, be praised. Father, give us the courage to make Christ Jesus known wherever we are. Amen.

The Transformed Person Proclaims Jesus

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PROCLAIMS JESUS

Reading: Romans 15:14-22

Romans 15:16 (NIV)
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

It is the duty of every child of God to proclaim Christ to the world. Every child of God whose life has been transformed in Jesus Christ is full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct others.

Those who have not heard or understood the Gospel of Jesus Christ can only hear and understand when the transformed person proclaims Christ to them.

Knowing that these days are like that of the days of Noah, let us earnestly proclaim Christ, especially where He has not been preached, so that we scatter not what has already been gathered. Selah.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this great privilege to proclaim Jesus. May we be gatherers in Your vineyard, and not scatterers, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Jesus Our Example In Humility

Theme for the Week: *THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY*

Reading: Philippians 2:3-8

Philippians 2:5
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

There is no doubt that Jesus Christ is indeed the greatest leader ever. He was able to walk in all virtues there is to give us an example for emulation.

Always humble and submissive to His Father,  He was about His Father's business. There was no selfishness found in Him. Everything was just about what concerns His Father, which was to draw all men unto the Father.

How indifferent must we be as Christ's disciples, since He has given us all the example we need to walk as children of God. Let us do away with pride and let humility mark the transformed life we live now in Christ Jesus.
Stay blessed. Shalom.

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, we praise and honour You. Lord God, help us to imitate Christ in every walk of life. Amen.

Jesus Affirms His Humility

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY

Reading: Matthew 11:27-30

Matthew 11:29 (NIV)
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

No man knows you better than you know yourself. You are the best person to know your strengths and flaws.

Whenever others point something out to you as a weakness or strength, it is based on the angle they are looking from, but it is only you who can best tell whether that is really a weakness or strength. Probably, something else triggers what people see from the outside.

Jesus Christ affirms His humility to teach us that humility is a virtue worth emulation. Can you also affirm your humility? Let this be your motivation to walk in the spirit of humility.
Be blessed always!

Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we adore You. Father, create in us Your humble Spirit that we can affirm our humility as our Lord Jesus did. Amen.

Humility Is A Beauty

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY

Reading: 1 Peter 3:3-4

1 Peter 3:4 (NIV)
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

It is quite unfortunate that people seek for the beauty that fades away quickly. Outward beauty is good and pleasant to the eye, but it does not last forever. Time and chance fade it away within a moment.

Humility is one of the unfading beauties of life. Instead of fading with time and chance, it becomes more gloomy, thus much cherished with time.

Humility is a beauty, so do not let go. You may not see the beauty now, but with time, it will beautify your life. And when it does, the beauty will never fade away.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we thank You for this unfading beauty of life. Help us walk in a gentle and quiet spirit, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Wear Humility As A Cloth

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY

Reading: Colossians 3:12-13

Colossians 3:12 (NIV)
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Humility is one of the dresses in God's wardrobe which you can put on. No matter who you are, it will perfectly fit on you.

Wearing humility as a cloth means that you have covered yourself with it, and would not want to go naked by taking it off. It also means that you should let others see your humbleness as the cloth you put on.

Dear friend, cloth is something you do not put away from you, especially in public. Therefore, put on humility as cloth, and wear it wherever you go.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, praise be to Your name. Lord, help us to wear humility as a cloth. Amen.

Humility Leads To Exaltation

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY

Reading: Proverbs 29:21-23

Proverbs 29:23 (KJV)
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

One of my favourite Sunday School songs is found in James 4:10, which says,
"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up." This song, "He will lift you up" keeps echoing in my head everyone.

Pride has landed many in destruction. Where they were told not to go; what they were told not to do, they kept deaf ears, and this led to their fall.

Although men may oppose you because of your humility and take you for granted, God will honour. It is better to be opposed by men than to be opposed by God; for God opposes the proud (see James 4:6). It is also a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of God, so humble yourself before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Mighty Jehovah, to You belong all power. O Lord, increase in us that we may decrease, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Humility With God

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY

Reading: Micah 6:6-8

Micah 6:8 (NKJV)
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?

God does not require much of us, but these three things; justice, love for mercy and humility. Humility is that solid foundation for all other virtues, without which all other virtues of life cannot be fully practiced.

Humility is referred to as meekness and absence of self. It is not about making yourself small or acting as if everyone is better than you are; someone lacking self confidence. It is just that you do not think so highly of yourself.

The Message Bible puts it right, "... And don't take yourself too seriously – take God seriously."  God is not interested in your sacrifices, but that you walk humbly with Him. When you are able to humble yourself before God, your sacrifices and all other Christian virtues will be accepted of Him.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Mighty Jehovah, to You belong all power. O Lord, increase in us that we may decrease, in Jesus' name. Amen.

The Transformed Life Is Marked By Humility

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY

Reading: Romans 12:16b, c

Romans 12:16
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

There are people who see themselves as always right. To them, nothing is possible without them. These are conceited in their eyes with high mindedness. And hardly do they reach the peak of their life.

Humility exalts. Do not confuse humility with lowliness. Everyone can be proud at a time as natural to man, but your ability to give a listening ear, not just to people of same level or higher, but to the lowly determines your humility.

Be humble, dear friend. Greatness is not found in how others are able to serve you, how people bow to you as the world depicts; greatness is found in how you are able to serve those around you in love irrespective of who they are. It takes humility to be a leader who serves. Selah.

Let's Pray:
Almighty Father, be glorified. Lord, create in me a clean heart full of humility; for You give grace to the humble. Amen.

Be Careful That You Do Not Fall

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:11-13

1 Corinthians 10:12 (NIV)
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!

Although weakness is part the human race, it should not make you fall from the grace which is in the Lord. If you are sick and do not confront a specialist, you became weaker as the days go by.

"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). Many Christians have become victims of this, so their fall become easier.

Dear friend, know that God is not against you because your are weak, but He will be if you think that you can overcome that weakness by yourself. Jesus Christ, our high priest, knows our weakness, so humble yourself that your weakness do not make you fall. Let Christ bear your weakness.
Stay blessed. Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Immortal, invisible God, Your great name we praise. Lord, help us to watch and pray and on Yourself rely that our weakness do not make us fall, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Endurance In Hope Through Prayer

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: Psalms 69:6-14

Psalms 69:10 (NIV)

When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;

Weakness brings shame. Weakness brings pain. Weakness brings reproach. When the body is buffeted, people laugh and scorn you.

It takes prayer to endure when there is weakness. It takes the hope in the Lord to pray. Do not give up because of the reproach when you are weak; Jesus passed through it.

Know that the pain, shame and reproach is but for a short time. There will be joy in the morning, so hope in the Lord, pray and you shall endure and prevail over every weakness.

Shalom.

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, be glorified. Lord Almighty, be my strength when I am weak, for I hope in You. Amen.

<previous>

Watch And Pray

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: Matthew 26:36-41

Matthew 26:41 (NIV)
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

At a point in time, the most perfect man, Jesus Christ, became so weak that He had to pray; "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will" (verse 39).

This means that it does not matter how matured you are in the faith, weakness may fall on you. This human body is bound to this earth and subject to weakness, thus when you confront it with things spiritual, it wearies it down and makes it weak.

Beloved friend, keep in mind that everyone may be weak at a point in time, no matter your level of maturity. Therefore, watch and pray that weakness will not overtake you.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, how awesome and wonderful You are! Dear Lord, may we not faint in our times of weakness, in Jesus' name. Amen.

<previous><next>

Seek The Good Of Others

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

1 Corinthians 10:33 (KJV)
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Everything in the world belongs to Jehovah, our God, and this gives His children the right to enjoy them; for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof (Psalms 24:1a; 1 Cor. 10:26).

Nonetheless, our freedom should never cause others to stumble. It must seek for their good and help to build them up. This is why Paul said that it better to go straight and eat what you want to eat, rather than seeking what others think about it.

Dear one, let us be conscious of what we do, knowing that all things are lawful to us, but all things are not expedient, because not all things edify. Seek the good of others.
Shalom.

Let's Pray
Heavenly Father, to You be all blessing and honour. Fill us up, Holy Spirit, that we will seek the good of others all the time. Amen.

Try By All Means Possible To Win Some

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23

1 Corinthians 9:22 (NIV)
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

The Apostle Paul started by bringing to light the right of the preacher which he did not count as his focus, but the Gospel.

For the sake that he might win as many as possible for Christ, his privileges as a minister of the Gospel did not matter. Today, many focus on the physical gains from the Gospel rather than the souls which are spiritual and eternal.

Beloved friend, be not enticed by the riches in the ministry of the Gospel, but be much enthused about the souls which will be accounted to you. Do everything possible to win some for Christ.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray
We hail Your name, Jehovah, the Self-existent God. Almighty Father, be exalted in us and draw men unto Yourself through us, in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.

<previous><next>

Bear One Another's Burden

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: Galatians 6:1-10

Galatians 6:2
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

The law of Christ is no different from the law of Jehovah. In Mark 12:28-31, Jesus Christ sums up God's law in one word, LOVE.

It is obvious that two are better than one as the Bible rightly said. Bearing one another's burden eases the load for an individual and proves our love for one another.

Beloved, we can grow the  body of Christ to a perfect being if only we can bear one another's burden. Love is key. When our love for one another grows, bearing one another's burden will be easier.
Stay blessed

Let's Pray
Praise and honour to Your name, o Most High God. Dear Lord, increase us in love that we may be able to bear others burden, especially the weak, in Jesus' name. Amen.

The Transformed Person Builds Up The Weak In Faith

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: Romans 15:1-4

Romans 15:2 (NIV)

Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.

Life is a process where at every stage there is someone ahead. Our Christian walk is not just about accommodating the weak, but also building them up.

The KJV of the Bible uses the edification, which means to strengthen and to build up.

As Christians, this is the time we strengthen and build up every Christian to the level of maturity where he or she can stand against the snares and fiery darts of the enemy. It is not the time for despising and division.

Dear friend, do you know someone weak in the faith? Build them up: do not despise them. If we can strengthen and build up the weak, we can form a strong force to resisting the devil in these end times.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray
Almighty God, we bless Your name. Abba Father, as we grow in Christ, may we never forget to build up the weak in faith. Amen.

Created To Be Like God In Righteousness

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: Ephesians 4:21-24

Ephesians 4:24 (NKJV)
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

The nature of the new man in Christ is Godlike, just what God made from the beginning (see Gen. 1:26-27). Coming into Christ is a restoration of our true self, which was made in true righteousness and holiness.

God is righteous and holy. As people having His image, we must live a righteous and holy life.

Beloved brethren, does your life reflect true righteousness and holiness, then you are living the new life in Christ. If that is the opposite, then it is high time you realized that you are a person created to be like God in righteousness and holiness. Remember who you are and live for the Lord.
Stay blessed! Shalom.

Let's Pray
And so, Father, we praise You. Mighty God, strengthen us to live for You. We also pray for all those who have forgotten their identity that they may remember who  they are and live for You, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

You Are An Ambassador Of Christ, So Live For Christ

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV)
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

An ambassador lives not for himself or herself, but for the country they represent. According to the English dictionary, an ambassador is a minister of the highest rank sent to a foreign court to represent there his sovereign or country. He is an official messenger or representative.

As Christ's ambassador, you represent Christ officially here on earth, entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. Many Christians have left this and are representing themselves instead.

Dear friend, God never counted our iniquities on us, but trusted us with His ministry of bringing the whole world to Himself through Christ. Let us live for Christ as His official representatives.
Shalom.

Let's Pray
Almighty Father, we give You Glory. All praise to You, o Lord God for not counting our sins on us. Empower us to live for Christ as His ambassadors. Amen.

Live And Serve To Please God

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: Romans 14:15-18

Romans 14:18 (NKJV)
For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

The secret to having all other things has still not changed from what Jesus said in Matthew 6:33. Pleasing men is part of the other things that will be added after seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

It is obvious that every one wants to be approved of others. However, first choose to serve God. Choose to live for Him.

Let others see you and give glory to God. They may initially want to having nothing to do with you, but they will have everything to do with you in the end. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Shalom.

Let's Pray
Almighty God, be glorified. With my whole life will I seek You, o Lord, my God. Amen.

Find Out What The Lord Wants And Do It

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: Ephesians 5:15-17

Ephesians 5:17 (NIV)

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Do you want to live a purposeful and fulfilling life? Then, find out what the Lord wants and do it. Make good use of every opportunity that comes your way.

It does not matter where you are right now or the position you may be holding. Maybe, you are in school or perhaps at the work field. Maybe, you find yourself at home, but have you ask of the will of God concerning you? 

Dear friend, the masses are not always right, so do not follow the masses to sin. Live for the Lord. Get to God in prayer; ask of His Will and follow regardless of what others may say or think of you. Live a purposeful and fulfilling life in the Lord.

Stay blessed.

Let's Pray

Heavenly Father, hallowed be Your name. Lord God, show me Your will that I will follow, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Do Everything To The Glory Of God

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:30-32

1 Corinthians 10:31 

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Many people, including Christians, do things to seek for the glory of men. The intent for their actions is self gratification and man glorification.

However, it is inappropriate to attribute the glory of God to self or another. This is something God do not take lightly, for He is a jealous God who will never share His glory with any man.

As Christians and children of God, we owe it all to Jehovah, so let us not seek for self gratification and glorification. Let us do everything for His glory, and His glorify will illuminate our lives in ways man can ever fathom.

Stay blessed.

Let's Pray

Heavenly Father, hallowed be Your name. Lord God, I owe everything to You. May I seek to always please You, and You alone, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Focus On Christ And Not On Food Or Sacred Days

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: Colossians 2:16-17

Colossians 2:16 

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

Many Christians are concerned about the Sabbath day as to which day it is. They think of Sunday worship as idolatry, since we know from Hebrewism or Yahwism that Sabbath falls on the last day, not on the "Lord's day" or the first day.

To appreciate the Sabbath day, we must understand thoroughly what God said concerning His Day of rest. In it must you not do anything directly beneficial to yourself, but to the Lord God, thus He said, do no work (see Exo. 20:8-10). This day is to honour Jehovah not us (see Isa. 58:13-14)

This is why when Christ Jesus, the reality of all the shadows of the old covenant came, He taught us to glorify God in all His works on the Sabbath day.

Therefore, dear believer, although Christians worship on Saturdays and Sundays, do not be weighed down by these. Focus on Christ and choose to honour Jehovah in all you do. 

Let's Pray

Almighty God, I will honour You at all times. Father, may I be focused on Christ and things that bring glory to You. Amen.

See November 2 for issues on food. Stay blessed.

The Transformed Person Lives For The Lord

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON LIVES FOR THE LORD

Reading: Romans 14:5-12

Romans 14:8 

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Have you ever considered why you're alive? Do you know that the Christian believer never lives for himself or herself but Christ's?

As Christians, our freedom from sin puts us under Christ who sets us free, and makes us accountable to Jehovah. This is why we no longer live for ourselves when we believe, but according to the dictates of the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, my friend, quit pleasing yourself or others and start pleasing the Lord. Do not yield to anything that brings honour to man including yourself, but not God; for we belong not to ourselves, but the Lord's so let us live for the Lord.

Shalom.

Let's Pray

Almighty God, I will forever praise You. Father, may I live the life You purposed for me from the beginning of time through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Keep Between Yourself And God

 Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON ACCOMMODATES THE WEAK

Reading: Romans 14:19-23

Romans 14:22 

So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Throughout this week, we have been studying on accommodating the weak. It is obvious that many people are weak in the Christian faith, and so the little thing done before their eyes can make them to stumble and to fall.

Everything was about self in the old covenant, but in the new, it is about others. Yes, all food is clean; and yes, you have the right to eat whatever you like, yet you sin if you cause the weak in the faith to fall because of what you eat.

Some things are silent in Scripture and so you need to follow your conscience about your personal encounter with God in such. One thing you must take note is that whatever you think is sin is sin, so do not do it, but do not despise others when they do such. Keep it between you and God.

Stay blessed! Shalom.

Let's Pray

Most gracious and merciful Father, I honour You. Lord, if there is something I do that cause others to fall, make it known to me that I may cease from it, in Jesus' name. Amen.

No Food Is Unclean In Itself.

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON ACCOMMODATES THE WEAK

Reading: Romans 14:13-18

Romans 14:14 

I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.

Sometimes, I wonder why many Christians continue to enslave themselves with these little things of the body. Did Christ Jesus came to enslave? Certainly not! Christ came to save.

Jesus Christ new what He meant when He said that not what goes into the mouth defiles a man (see Mt 15:11). Also, the Spirit of God told Peter not to call anything impure that God has made clean (see Acts 10:15)

Beloved, let us live in the righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Let us not enslave ourselves by regarding something as unclean that God has made clean; for Jesus did not come to enslave, but to save.

Shalom.

Let's Pray

Lord God Almighty, may Your name be praised. O Lord, may I never call anything impure that You have made clean, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Who Are You To Judge Your Neighbour?

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON ACCOMMODATES THE WEAK

Reading: James 4:11-12

James 4:12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you —who are you to judge your neighbor?

Many people are busily criticizing others for their wrongs while neglecting their core Christian duty of love. All their speeches is full of judgment as if they gave the law to man.

Yes, you can reprove sometimes, but do not sound judgemental. Jesus Christ told the apostle the master's statement about the weeds and wheat; he said, let both grow together until the harvest... (see Mt 13:24-30).

Dear believer, we are not in the position to judge others. Jehovah, the Lawgiver is the only Judge over all. Our duty is to obey Him in spite of what others may do or not concerning His Word and Law; for at the time of harvest, everything will be bare.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray
Lord God Almighty, may Your name be praised. Father, I know that You are the Judge of all: teach me to love and not judge others. Amen.

Do Not Allow Anyone To Judge You By What You Eat.

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON ACCOMMODATES THE WEAK

Reading: Colossians 2:16-19

Colossians 2:16 

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

This is one of the topics that calls for debate even among Christians, but I do not see any reason to walk with the shadow while the real person has come.

In every culture, there is a kind of diet that is most cherished. This means that what you may eat may differ from what others will eat considering where they are coming from. That does not disqualify them as Christians only if they have their faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ.

We must know that the Bible teaches us whom to worship and not how to worship. In that, let us not be despised, and neither should we despise others for the sake of diet,  but rather let us see to it that these do draw us closer to God and Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Shalom.

Let's Pray

Abba Father, be praised. Lord, teach me to love and not judge others for what they eat. Amen.

Do Not Deny God By Your Actions

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON ACCOMMODATES THE WEAK

Reading: Titus 1:12-16

Titus 1:16 (NIV)

They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

The way a person thinks and acts is affected by whatever they choose to fill their minds with. A weak mind is unstable, so it is difficult for it to see the good in everything.

It is easier for the weak mind to proclaim God with their lips and deny Him with their actions

Soundness in the faith is essential. It drives away all thoughts that makes us weak in the faith and align us with God and His Word.

Otherwise, we may say we are of God, but deny Him in what we do. Let us put away darkness and embrace the light we have in Christ that our minds will be sound and pure to reflect the nature of God in this evil world. It all starts with renewing the mind.

Shalom.

Let's Pray

Almighty God, I thank You for making pure in Christ. Father, may Your Spirit empower me to stay pure even in my actions, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
