Today's Readings:

2 Corinthians 5:17

Ephesians 4:17-32, 23-24

"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness".

The new man is a man or woman whose life is devoid of a kind of character or behaviour which is contrary to the will and purpose of God as a believer. To the Ephesians and believers in Christ Jesus, brother Paul points out some attitudes which can still depict them as living in times of old. Things like lasciviousness, greediness, anger, corrupt communication, stealing, laziness, evil speaking, unforgiveness, bitterness of heart against one another, and so on.


Anyone with such aforementioned characteristics will still be seen as a man or woman living the old life. The kind of new man, brother Paul admonishes believers to put on, is the type that should not give place to the devil, who does not walk like the Gentiles walk, who walks in the vanity of their minds. But a man or woman who is kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us. Therefore, let us endeavour to put on the new man in Christ Jesus our Lord.

To surrender your life to Christ, say this prayer out loud. “Father, I acknowledge my sin against You. I repent and ask for forgiveness, in the name of Jesus. I surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. By the power of Your Holy Spirit, take control of my heart and lead me in Your path of righteousness. Thank you, Lord.”

If you said the prayer, Congratulations! You are welcome to the body of Christ. Prayerfully look for a living church and meet the resident reverend, pastor or priest.



Prayer:

  1. Antichrist spirit in Christian homes die in the name of Jesus.

  2. Power of inconsistency with Christ die in the name of Jesus.

  3. Every iota of worldliness in my life die in the name of Jesus.

  4. Oh God, arise, create in me a new heart in the name of Jesus.

  5. Power to be in right standing with my God, I am available,e locate me now in the name of Jesus.
