Hello dear friend,
Greetings to you in Jesus name.
I hope and pray you and your family are doing good, staying healthy, and enjoying the blessings of God in every area of your life.
When I think of our life as a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ there is one thing that is common in the family of God is, that “every one of us have a story to tell”, this story is about God’s love, His grace, His mercies, and His power. I want to ask you, do you have a story to tell?
Sadly some people call themselves as the children of God, but their words, actions, and lifestyle does not agree with who they are and who they call themselves as.
Dear friend, I want to ask you to take time to examine your life as a believer and follower of Lord Jesus Christ, and as a child of God. Are you living worthy of your calling, or are you abusing your call by living the way gentiles live?
The bible says, God’s name is being blasphemed among the gentiles (unbeliever around us), by the way you live. Is your life bringing glory to God, or building a reputation that people do not want to believe and follow your God?
With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Ephesians 4:17. Paul is writing a letter to the believers in the church of Ephesus and saying not to live like unbelievers (people who don’t know and not related to God).
What does the unbelievers’ life look like?
- Their mind are full of darkness
- They are separated from the life of God
- They are shameless
- They live for lustful pleasures, and
- They are eager to practice every kind of impurity.
If you are going through any of these things, then you might be living like an unbeliever in your body, soul, and spirit.
It is the time for you to ask God for forgiveness, repent, and turn to God with all your heart. And commit yourself to live like a child of God.
What should you do now as a child of God?
- Throw off your old sinful nature
- Allow the Spirit of God to renew your thoughts and attitudes
- Put on a new nature, created to be like God.
As I am about to conclude, I would like to remind you of the Key that helps you to get rid of your old sinful nature and former way of living, and to live like God is; “And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live.” Ephesians 4:30.
God – The Holy Spirit is with you and in you, always! Now your desire and your deliberate choice to make Him happy always – all day and every day is the key to the new God pleasing and glorifying life.
As a disciple of Jesus Christ our aim in life should be to walk in the footsteps of our Master.
May God give us grace to completely overcome our past weakness and past flaws in our mind and body through the Word and the Spirit of God, and be equipped and empowered to like Lord Jesus as we walk in Intimacy with God through the Word and Spirit of God in Jesus might name I pray. Amen
You are called to reflect God in this world!
With much love and blessings,
