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…

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
