When do we #abort #sin from our #lives in order to #give #birth to #righteousness?…
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chr 7:14)
If we are in Christ, do we continue our path of uprightness even when we miss a step? Does the weight of sin in this world define who we are? Are we affected by the wicked forces of this age? Have we allowed the opportunity of evil to sneak in without even being aware of it? If we have turned to our own gods, then what do we expect in return? These are questions of thought that require action on our part if we would like to walk in holiness and right standing with Christ. It will produce a greater reward unimaginable. Today, I challenge and also encourage you to execute every force of wrongdoing in your lives. This will allow us to detach any association or attachment of evil from our path so that our land produces healing.
What happens when you #do not #call #Christ?…
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. (Jeremiah 33:3)
When we play hide and seek, after searching, we eventually find. In the same regard, if we call someone on the phone, our expectation is that the other party will pick up and answer. However, what happens when there is no answer? Do we leave a message or keep calling back? Today, I challenge you to keep calling and seeking Christ so that he answers your call.
Whatever you #eat will be your #diet…
Talk no more so very proudly, let no arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. (1 Samuel 2:3)
Is the word of God your appetite? Are we really what we eat and digest? Have we substituted our spiritual diet to that of an unfulfilling and non-nutritious diet? What have we accomplished in the process? Today, I challenge you to dispose of the excess fat gained from this world.
If #God is #our #salvation, do we still #embrace #fear?…
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)
Who and what is our salvation at this point in our lives? Do we know what salvation truly means? Is it a temporary means of access to contentment? How do we interpret and incorporate fear in place of salvation. Today, I challenge you with questions only.
Who is #righteous and where is #faith #located?…
But my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him. (Heb 10:38)
At present, do we justify our righteousness by words or actions? Does our faith in Christ dictate our destiny? Have we succeeded in righteousness only and not faith? It all relies solely on our purpose to live in Christ. Today, I challenge you to apply righteousness and faith so that we are not disregarded by Christ.
How is #peace #determined and #who #gives it to #us?
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
If peace is provide to us do we embrace it or dispose of it? How do we interpret our version of peace? Does it cover us in every area of our lives? Maybe we comprehend peace on a conditional basis? For the sake of the kingdom of God, I encourage you to think in the mindset of serenity. Today, I challenge you to only allow the peace of Christ to reign in and around you.
Do we #silence our #voice enough to #listen?…
Yet they did not obey or incline their ear but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commmanded them to do, but they did not. (Jeremiah 11:8)
There is a voice that we obey. Have we determined what voice and where it derives from? Does this voice dictate our course of action in life? If we are coherent in listening, have we resorted to selective hearing? Today, I challenge you to incline your ear to the voice and command of Christ so that you live eternally.
Have we made our #truth an actual #lie?…
But for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. (Rom 2:8)
Convincing ourselves that what we believe is the absolute truth, can be an absolute lie. I say this to encourage you to shift the thoughts of your natural being to your spiritual as it relates to the word of God. For there is no abandoning of our mental ship, when we invite the word of God in and on our journey. Today, I challenge you to develop the word of truth in your lives to rid yourself of any condemnation. Live long and prosper in everything that you say and do.
Can we #name anyone other than #Christ to #love us #continually?…
The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. (Jeremiah 31:3)
Do we truly have the love that is everlasting? Have we resorted to other means of receiving love? If so, what is the value of it and what is the duration? Today, I challenge you to open your heart to the never-ending love of Christ in your life and forfeit all others.
