Living only for Jesus Christ is the first conviction to have and to
sustain in order to please God and fulfill the Great Commission.
Luke 1:74-75
To grant us that we, being delivered from the
hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and
righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
What is your understanding of the reason you were
born and now born-again?
Is your life according to pattern stated by this
Scripture?
Prayers:
- Settle it in my heart now that I was rescued
from the hand of my enemies in order to be released to serve JESUS without
fear; with ALL my life and without restrain.
- Open my understanding to know and walk in the
fullness of YOUR will for my life, which is to serve Christ in holiness
and righteousness all the days of my life.
- Help me to see that continuing to live
unrighteously is to deny what Christ did for me at Calvary and to ignore
the provision of such a FULL salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
"For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for
all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who
died for them and was raised again."
What compels/controls and moves You? Your
decisions? Your passion? Your time? What interest you?
Paul declared: “We are convinced….” Are you also
convinced?
Prayers:
- Lord, let Your Gospel work thoroughly in and
through me; leaving behind an evacuated and de-cluttered life that is ONLY
controlled and compelled by Christ’s love.
- Luke 1:4 - Grant me grace to be rooted,
certain, convinced, grounded and established on ALL the segments of the
Gospel.
- We allow the Gospel, having worked in us, to
sever us from the lower nature's desire to continue to live for SELF. I
will live for JESUS who died and was raised again for me.
- Only JESUS and His love for humanity will
control and compel me.
Philippians 1:20-21
"According to my earnest expectation and hope
that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now
also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to
me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
Are you ashamed of the Gospel?
Are you always bold to declare Christ and Him
crucified?
Are you resolved whether by life or death to live
for Christ?
Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and
honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created.
Prayers:
- Please, Lord! Be magnified in my body whether
by life or by death.
- May You continually drink out of my life till You are satisfied and let my life bring You much pleasure.
- Let it be also that our living is to and for
Christ and dying gain.
