THE GODLY LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST’S DISCIPLE (PART 2)

TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:22-32 
Key verse: Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance against such is no law.

The Spirit of Christ in a believer works out the fruits of righteousness and godliness. What is the evidence of Christ in a believer? Our key verses point out the things you need to see in your life to ascertain that you are changed:
• Love: Before you gave your life to Jesus, you have made efforts to love people, but all those efforts ended up in evil. Some people said that they love a sister or a brother, but they ended up carrying out the sin of fornication. That type of love is not the kind of love the Holy Spirit builds in a believer. 
• Joy: As a Christian, you should not exhibit anger, bitterness and moody faces that make people away from you. Do not say that anger is in your family line. The Bible says that if you are in Christ, inherited anger must be put away. 
• Peace: As a believer, you must pursue peace. The offences you see in people is because you keep seeking out for offences. Why must you wait for someone to apologize to you first? Why not go and apologize first? When you do this, it shows you are pursuing peace.
• Longsuffering: This means bearing suffering and allowing God to sort things out for you.  A story was told of a woman who wanted to stop quarrels with her husband. She met a counsellor who gave her wax to secretly put into her mouth whenever her husband comes back to the house. Whenever the husband came with quarrels, she would not react to avoid the husband noticing it. The quarrels reduced since she did not retaliate.
• Gentleness: You must be gentle. Correct others in gentleness.
• Goodness: For someone to be a good person, it shows in his/her character. Give a smiling face as when Boaz spoke with Ruth even though he did not know her. By being good to people, they can be won over to Christ.
• Faith: Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
• Meekness: Ability to submit to the opinion of others when you see that there is light in it.
• Temperance: In everything, you must show control and overcome in love.

Thought for the day: Let the Holy Spirit develop the fruit of righteousness in you 

Song for the day: I want you LORD to be satisfied with me…

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
