TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Prove by the way you live that you have repented and turned to God.” Matthew 3:8— ” Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God.” 1 Corinthians 2:15
TODAY’S MESSAGE: To be of Christ and to live in Christ is to live a life that is strong and disciplined in Jesus. It is a life that is of love, patience, understanding, and rewarding. It is a life that displays a power to overcome hardships and sadness. It is one that can stand tall when others mock us or persecute us for our beliefs. It is one that allows forgiveness to spread to those who have wronged us and to those who hate our very being. We are to live our lives just as Jesus lived his on this earth. It is not an easy path, but it is one that will take us to a wonderful place. It is one that will help some to want what we have. It is one that will create peace and not chaos among those around us. It is a life that will show the ungodly the way to right standing with our God in heaven. It is a life that will demonstrate ways that will create strength, power and faith. We are to live a life that will help others to grow and become children of God and not be of those who wander this world aimlessly and with no values or forgiveness. When we obey our Lord and listen carefully when he speaks to us, we will hear his message loud and clear. When we read the Word of God and meditate on it, we receive our purpose and our strength to move forward and not backward. When we pray to Him with faith, we begin to understand what he wants for our lives. Our goal in life is to do what our Lord desires for us and not what we desire for ourselves. When we live the life God has prepared for us, scriptures tell us that we are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. We must praise Him and pray to Him. Let us all work hard be a Christ-like fragrance rather than becoming the stench that covers this world today. Jesus is Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
