The #Lord is #our #lock and #security #system…

REFERENCE:

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.(Proverbs 18:10)

THOUGHTS:

The importance of safety and protection are necessary in our day to day lives. When at home, we want to feel protected. If we are violated in any way, it means we left the door open. The door however, is not physical but spiritual. We have not fully secured our minds, heart and soul from the war within us and around us. Somewhere along the line we become complacent. When this occurs, we allow the opportunity of influence and disobedience to take over. At this point we are now unsafe and exposed. Today, I challenge you to safely rest in the secure arms of the Lord and put a dead bolt on everything that opposes righteousness and holiness. 

#Seek and #you #shall #find it but also #keep it #forever…

REFERENCE:

Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.(Proverbs 11:27)

THOUGHTS:

Are you seeking good and not God? Every recipe of goodness contains the ingredients of God in it. For every deed that is sought after, it has a reaction and a consequence. Decide for yourself what path will be taken. There are no alternative methods or shortcuts to doing good.Today, I challenge you to consistently raise the volume in your walk and mute the sound of your voice. Actions speak louder when you do not speak at all. Let your life in Christ, be a reward to you according to your works. 

Is the #love in your #heart #playing #hide and #seek?…

REFERENCE:

So now, faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Cor 13:13)

THOUGHTS: 

What is the greatest gift you ever received? I’m sure we can think of several. However, have we ever considered gifts that were not as tangible as the world presents them? When was the last time you gave the gift of love? Is love giving based on value or merit? Is it conditional? Christ loved us before we were formed in the womb. Today, I challenge you to love others when it seems to be the most impossible thing to do. It will change the atmosphere and start a chain reaction. After all, Christ loved us before we were born and even before we knew how to love.

#Out with the #old and in with the #new #things of #Christ…

REFERENCE:

And we all, with unveiled  face, beholding  the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the spirit.       (2 Corinthians 3:18)
THOUGHTS:

When we put on new garments for the day, we take off the old and discard it. Depending on the occasion, we usually dress according to the event or mood we’re in. We may decide not to change at all and reuse what we had on the day prior. In any event, we enter a different and new mindset when we change or alter our lifestyle. It may be according to the influences of the world or self motivation. Whatever we choose, the decision relies on us. However, the outcome may or may not be glorified or enjoyable. In any situation, we are not truly changed or transformed unless God is involved or allowed it. Today, I challenge you to teach, program and cultivate your mind to be transformed into the image of God. New things are in store for us. It’s coming!
