WALKING THE SPIRITUAL WAY (2)

 


MAY 16.    

Train up the child in the way he should go. – Prov. 22:6

Physical walking is a way of life; parents nurture their child expecting him to walk at the right time. Some children take a longer time while some walk earlier than others. This is the same principle in the Spiritual Walk with our Lord Jesus Christ. The decision to follow a spiritual pathway comes with a conviction in our spirit to feed the emptiness that we feel in our souls. 

The Lord Jesus Christ is our choice for a deeper communion with God; He is the only way through which we can see the light. There is a hunger that can only be fulfilled through the building up of our faith. Our spiritual growth leads us to a life of separation from things of the world, from friends and even families. We have to pay a price for the separation, rejection, abandonment and the loneliness that follows our decision to follow the spiritual pathway. Partying, nightclubbing, alcohol, all become things of the past and friends walk away from you. In this pathway you are not alone, our Lord Jesus Christ is your constant companion. You are standing firm in your faith and in your new life as He is proclaiming his love and compassion over you. His goodness and his mercy pursue you and overcome you and you live in his overwhelming love every day of your life. 

Let Us Pray: Our Lord and our Father we are witnesses of your faithfulness and your grace. Grant us the grace to trust you as we walk in the embrace of your love. Amen.

Bible Ref: Gal 5:22-23.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
