2 Corinthians 5:17-18

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.

Now all things are of God, Who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Devotion.

When we a  accept Jesus as our Saviour, and are baptized, we are born again – the new birth is exactly what God says .

We have every sin forgiven, our guilty stain removed, and we received the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit then dwells within us to help us to live a holy and godly life, and give us a new nature.

That is the reason we are baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – three in One, the Trinity.

So we become a new creation in Christ Jesus, our Saviour.

Old things have passed away, and behold all things are new.

Praise the Lord!

Please help me to be pleasing to You in all my ways, and to live a holy and godly life.

Help me to be consecrated and totally devoted to You in every way.

O Lord, I can see that the end of this world’s history is at hand, and Your coming is very soon.

Please help me to be ready and stay ready, because You could come at any time to receive Your redeemed.

And I sincerely want to be among the redeemed of the earth.

2 Thessalonians 3:16

May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way.

Devotion.

The peace of God is a gift; it is not somethings we can manipulate because it is the result of oneness with our Creator God..

When our relationship with the Lord is strong and adversities strikes, we do not have to fall apart or give in to anxiety.

We can choose to live in steadfast confidence of His love, wisdom, power and provision. This is the basis of His unshakable peace – not that we are capable of controlling circumstances, but that His help is ever-present and perfect to deliver us in every challenge we face. Quote C. Stanley.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

Thank You for the peace that comes from You.

The peace that surpasses all human understanding.

I am so happy to have my own personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe and with Jesus Christ, my Saviour.

And also Holy Spirit, my Comforter and Guide.

Praise the Lord, three in One, the Trinity.

Lord, how wonderful to know that whatever could happen, I can be assured that You are always there for me.

And I can have total confidence in Your help, Your provision, Your guidance, Your tender mercies and compassions.

And Your everlasting love and amazing saving grace.

Thank You for Your loving watch care and protection from day to day.

You are such a good God, the Creator God, Who created the Heavens and the earth and everything that exists.

I give You all the glory and praise that You deserve.

I love You, Lord.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Romans 8:5-6

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Devotion.

“The mind must be trained to dwell on heavenly things. Humility will come as the result of discerning the loveliness of Jesus Christ. Dwelling upon Christ’s excellencies of character, we shall see the offensive character of sin and will by faith grasp the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

We will cultivate the virtues that dwell in Jesus, that we may reflect to others a representation of His character. When we look at the cross of Calvary, we will not exalt self, but keep constantly in view our unworthiness and how much our salvation cost heaven; we will discern Christ’s matchless love.”  Quote from This Day with God. page 261.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

I humbly come to You in prayer and ask for Your guidance and direction in all areas of my life.

Help me to have a spiritual, heavenly mind, not a earthy, carnal, fleshly mind.

Lord, please renew my mind from earthly things to heavenly things, and help me to seek Your Holy ways.

Help me to cultivate the virtues that dwell in Jesus Christ, so that I can see the offensiveness of sin.

Thank You for sending Jesus to be my Saviour and Redeemer.

Lord Jesus, come into my life today, and lead and guide me as I journey along the Christian pathway.

Please forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

Lord Jesus, please cover me with Your ” Robe of righteousness and Your Garment of Salvation.”

And I humbly ask again that You transforms my mind, train my mind to dwell on heavenly things and to focus on the excellency of Jesus’ character.

I praise and adore You.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

Live out Thy life within me.

O Jesus, King of kings!

Be Thou Thyself the answer.

To all my questionings.

Live out thy life within me.

In all things have Thy Holy way!

Amen.
