GROWING

  GROWING Ephesians 4:9-16 Devotional:- “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head of Christ” (V. 15) God’s plan and desire is that we grow up. So many Christian today are growing older but not growing up. Many are stocked in perpetual spiritual infancy. This is because they never intend to grow. Spiritual growth is not automatic, it takes intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort and persist in growing. Discipleship is the process of becoming like Christ (Matthew 10:25). In your spiritual growth, God has a part and you have a part. To be Christ-like you will need to make Christ like choices and depend on the Holy Spirit to help you fulfill those choices. The moment you are ready, you will need to let go of some old routines and develop some new habits. You will need to intentionally change the way you are thinking (Philippians 2:12-13). To work out your salvation with fear and trembling means to take you...

A BELOVED

A BELOVED

Romans 9:23-26
Devotional:- I will call them my people, which were not my possible, and her beloved, which was not beloved” (V. 25) KJV

    A part from the biblical use of the word beloved, which allows us to use it among believers, do you know that the greatest title any man or woman can earn in life is to be called beloved? This is someone you can probably refer to as your spouse. Your mother or your father cannot earn such a title. None of your sisters or brothers can fit in. None of your friends can as well fit in. This level of title is reserved for someone you are to him or her special. Someone you give unreserved love to. This is someone who has become very important and a treasure to you. As for this level of relationship, you are ready to invest anything. It is referred to as an intimate relationship.

Friend, I need to let you know that you are the one rejected and not worthy before God. But Jesus purchased you back to become the beloved of God (I John 3:1). Factually, you are not worthy, but God has decided to bestow His love on you. You are the most precious to God. That is why there is nothing God cannot do for you (Romans 8:32). Since you became a new creature by new birth in Christ, it has qualified you for this status in God.

Any time the enemy wants to cast your mind down, remind him of your status in Christ. “The beloved Christ” God does not refer to other creatures as beloved but man. It will only take new birth to come into this status. Please don’t allow condemnation of the devil in your heart anymore (Romans 8:1). Establish this in your subconscious mind: “I am a beloved of God." Do you know that God is always seeking your attention (Genesis 3:8)? Relate with Him as a beloved, and you will know His love.

Prayer: Lord, let me know your love in my life indeed.

“LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT CREATES THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR MAN’S LIFE.”
