The Bible says, as God’s child, you are a child of the light and also of the day. You may ask, what does this mean? Well, it means that you are not under the bondage of darkness because Jesus has set you free, and God, the Father of lights (see James 1:17), dwells in you (see 1 John 4:8).
Jesus will never be unfaithful to you. He is not like man who says one thing and changes his mind the next minute. No! He is constant. He isn’t subject to change like how currency conversions change. He is the Lord of your life. Stick to following His ways because He will never leave nor forsake you.
Jesus said if a tree is good, then its fruit is good. Consequently, if a tree is bad, its fruit will also be bad. Interpreting this in relation to people’s behaviour implies that a sinner remains a sinner because sin is inherent in him. But the saved are righteous because God confers His righteousness to those who accept Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour (see Romans 10:9).
Dear believer, love is the core of your spiritual makeup. So, if you don’t walk in your God-ordained identity, then you are signing up to live a hypocritical life, which shouldn’t be said of you.
True service to God involves a genuine connection from within, a sincerity that comes from the depths of one’s being. So, whether in public or private, you’re expected to uphold purity in all aspects of your life. To serve God effectively, you need a heart wholly devoted and surrendered to His will because He is holy. Only then can your actions turn from mere religious routines into meaningful service aligned with God’s plan.
Unlike how the mirror reflects what is in front of it, God’s Word reflects who God has made you when you behold it, not how you are right now. God calls you by name. And this is why you must believe what God says about you strongly.
One wise man said, “You’ll never get in sin what you got into sin to get.” Mmm! That is an intriguing truth there. It simply means that if you thought engaging in that sin would satisfy you, you’ll realise that you’ll not get that satisfaction you thought that evil act would give you. The best way to live condemnation-free in Christ is to walk according to the Spirit
Derive your identity from God, not what men say about you. That is the most secure way of living.
Calling a believer a Christian isn’t wrong. However, the Antiochenes, who called believers this name, saw them live in the ways of God. It takes salvation to become a believer, but maturity to live like Jesus. Pursue a deeper intimacy with God, walk in love and never allow what people call you to override who God says you are in your mind.
You are Abraham’s seed as a Christian. That means when it comes to blessings, it’s your birthright as God’s child. But if you’re struggling to make ends meet, the problem is not from God, what job you do or even how much you earn. The problem is you – how well vested are you in knowing who God has made you?
You’re God’s fearfully and wonderfully made creature created in Christ Jesus for good works. That means good works is a natural flow in your life as a believer. And if such a thing is not happening, then there’s something wrong with you. Confront that in prayer.
God, in His infinite wisdom, has created every individual uniquely, which goes without saying that everyone is different and no two persons are equal. Discover more about your uniqueness in this article.
