Maintain A Closer Walk With Jesus
Thursday 16th October
TEXT: 1 Timothy 1: 12-15
Key verse: 1 Timothy 2: 3 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.”
How can you see more excellency of Jesus when He is not constantly in your mind? You say you are married to Jesus but there are distances between you. You are a child of God but there are distances between you and God. You begin to try to view who this Jesus is. Like the woman whose husband has gone to America for years, so the wife is working hard, O this man, how does he look like? Whenever he is laughing how does he appear? Because time has disfigured that man before that woman. She cannot actually think very well. That’s how it is. You are serving Jesus unconsciously. Good, you are serving Him, but He wants you to serve Him knowingly.
Serve Jesus with understanding. Be with Him now. Walk with Him. Stay with Him, that when you are walking, I am walking with Jesus. When you are sitting down, I am sitting with Jesus. When you are doing anything, I am doing it with Jesus. That’s how He wants it in your life. That consciously is what Jesus is looking for because He’s going to give you the energy of living. Ministers must constantly remind the congregation of the Lord, Savior and Shepherd of the church. That it is Jesus they serve. That Jesus is the Shepherd of the church. He is the Lord; personal, active and present Lord. We stand in awe of Jesus in total surrender, great honor and worship of Jesus.
We must remind ourselves that we are preaching and singing for Jesus. Do you preach or sing without knowing for whom you preach or sing? Do you preach for pleasure? Come back to your memory and senses and inform yourself that, ‘I am preaching to show Him, to reveal Him, to exalt Him.’ It is Jesus that has made me a preacher and given me this privilege of preaching. This we must do so that the faith of the people must be steady on Him and their hearts and minds will be in constant worship and praise of His glory and power. Come to Him in active possession and complete contact of Him.
Thought for the day: Awaken to the realization of Jesus.
Song for the day: Just a closer walk with Thee
Bible reading for the day: Mark 8-9
