FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

BECOMING LIKE CRIST

BECOMING LIKE CRIST

ROM 8:18-30
DEV:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V.29)

    The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God.

God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attempting to mold us. Remember you are existing for God. 

For us to be Christ-like, we must cooperate with the work of the holy spirit in us. Character reformation happen when you obey God no matter the condition. Character reformation happen when you change the way you think to the way of the word of God. Consciously put on the character of Christ by developing new godly habits (Ephesians 4:24). Realize God use his word, people, circumstances to mold us. If you study and apply the word of God, fellowship regularly with other believers and learn to trust God in difficult times, you will become like Christ. God often prefer to work through people to make us value fellowship and growing together. Growth is always very slow but God wants you to endure in it to grow. Peace!

Prayer – Lord, help me to always yield to your word.

“IT IS YOUR CHARACTER NOT YOUR CAREER THAT MAKE YOU OF ETERNAL VALUE”
