You already have Christ in you. But to put on the new man, the same Christ, means to live according to the patterns of God. That comes with divine knowledge of eternal life, spiritual responsibility and discipline with the help of the Spirit in you.
Starting your day with God is one of the best ways to set yourself up for a successful and fulfilling day. It means making a conscious effort to prioritise your relationship with God first thing in the morning before anything else.
Yes, you were crucified with Christ (Romans 6:3-4). But has your mind been set on the truth that you’re dead in Christ, and the you that now lives is Christ at work in you?
Ever wondered what it means for the Bible to say, “Resist the devil…” (James 4:7)? Pastor Obed Aning nails down its interpretation in this article.

A part of the labour involved in you, growing spiritually, depends on you coming to Jesus, not Him coming to you. Do you want to go deep with Jesus? Come to Him. Put up the effort to read and study the Word, pray persistently, avoid skipping the gathering of the saints and doing the work of the Lord.
