Put Off The Old Self And Put On The New Self

Theme for the Week: MATURING DISCIPLES STRIVE TO BE WISE STEWARDS OF TIME

Reading: Ephesians 4:20-24
_______________________

‭Ephesians 4:24 NIV‬
[24] and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Paul’s exhortation to the Ephesians is clear: our former way of living, the "old self," must be put off for a new self in Christ.

Putting on the new self means embracing the identity we now have in Christ. This new self is marked by righteousness, holiness, and a desire to please God in all things.

Every day is an opportunity to put off the old self and to put on the new; to live out the transformation that Christ has worked in us. Beloved, let us put off the old self with its deceitful desires and put on the new self, created to be like God.

Shalom.

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the new life You have given us in Christ. Help us to put off the old self and to embrace the new self, living in true righteousness and holiness, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Be Holy As Children Of God

Theme for the Week: MATURING DISCIPLES STRIVE TO BE WISE STEWARDS OF TIME

Reading: 1 Peter 1:14-16
_______________________

‭1 Peter 1:15 NIV‬
[15] But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

Peter’s words speak directly to the heart of discipleship. Before we knew Christ, we lived according to the desires of the world; our actions were shaped by ignorance and sin. But now, as children of God, we are called to live differently.

Holiness is not just something we aspire to; it is a command from God. “Be holy, because I am holy,” is a divine call to reflect the character of God in every area of our lives.

Holiness is about being fully dedicated to God, allowing Him to shape our character, renew our minds, and transform our desires.

Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, we praise You. Lord, empower us to resist the desires of the world and to pursue a life of obedience and purity, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Let The Will Of God Be Seen In You

Theme for the Week: MATURING DISCIPLES STRIVE TO BE WISE STEWARDS OF TIME

Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-6
_______________________

‭1 Thessalonians 4:3 NIV‬
[3] It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

It is not enough to know God’s will or to approve of it in our hearts; we must live in such a way that others can see the evidence of God’s work in us.

Paul’s message is clear: as disciples, we are called to live in a way that pleases God, reflecting His will in our daily actions and choices.

One of the greatest responsibilities of a maturing disciple is to let the will of God be seen in how we live, how we treat others, and how we steward the time and resources He has given us.

Selah.

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for calling us to live according to Your will. Help us to be wise stewards of the time You have given us, using every moment to grow in holiness and to reflect Your character, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Approve The Will Of God

Theme for the Week: MATURING DISCIPLES STRIVE TO BE WISE STEWARDS OF TIME

Reading: Romans 12:1-3
_______________________

‭Romans 12:2 NIV‬
[2] Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Being wise stewards of our time is part of offering ourselves fully to God, acknowledging that our time belongs to Him, and we are to use it in ways that honor and please Him.

The key to approving the will of God, as Paul teaches, is to avoid being conformed to the pattern of this world. The world around us is full of distractions, temptations, and values that do not align with the Kingdom of God.

If we follow the world’s way of thinking, we will waste our time on things that have no eternal value. But if we allow ourselves to be transformed by the renewing of our minds – through prayer, Scripture, and seeking God’s guidance – we will gain the wisdom to discern and approve what is truly God’s will.

Halleluyah!

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your mercy and grace. Help us to live as wise stewards of time, offering our lives as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to You, in Jesus' name. Amen.
