DO YOU KNOW HIM? 1JOHN 3:6-10

13th January 2011
Anyone who continue to live in Him will not sin. But anyone who continue to sin does not know Him or understand who He is.(v.6).
We all have areas where temptation is strong and habits are hard to deal with. These weaknesses give the devil a way into our life, so we must deal with all areas of vulnerability. If we are struggling with a particular sin, however this verse is not talking about people whose victory are still incomplete; he is talking about people who make a practice of sinning and look for a way to justify it.
 There are three necessary steps we can find victory over prevailing sin: (1). Seek the power of the Holy Spirit and God's Word (LOGOS). (2). Stay away from tempting situations, things that will push you into sin and (3). Seek the help of the body of Christ be open to them to hold you accountable and pray with you. They can't keep on sinning means the believer does not make practice of sinning or do they become indifferent to God's moral standard. Because the life of Christ is in you, all believers still sin but they are working to gain victory over sin.
 We become part of God's family if the Holy Spirit lives in us and gives us Jesus new life. To be born again is more than a fresh start; it's a rebirth, receiving a new family name based on the good work Christ did on the Cross. When this happens God forgive us and totally accept us into the new family; the Holy Spirit gives us a new mind and a new heart, He live in us and begins to help us be like Christ Jesus. Our thinking changes because we have the mind that is being control by the Holy Spirit(Romans 12:2).

Prayer for the Day: Lord Jesus, forgive me and help me to become like you let the Holy Spirit come and live in that I may begin with a new mind.

LIVING AS GOD'S CHILDREN 1JOHN 3:2-5

Wednesday January 12 2011
The Christian life is a process of becoming more and more like Jesus. In Romans 8:29 We it is said He new you and predestine you to be conformed to the image of Christ who is the first born among God's children. And this process will not be complete until our Lord returns for us to see Him face to face. For now we see through glass darkly; but then face to face: now  I know in part but shall I know even as also I am in known (1Corinthians 13:12). But knowing that it our ultimate destiny should motivate us to purify ourselves. To keep pure means to keep morally straight free from corruption of sin. God also purifies us but there is action we must take to remain morally fit (1Peter 1:22; 1Timothy 5:22; James 4:8). We must know that there is difference from committing a sin and continuing to sin. Even the most faithful believers sometimes commit sin, but they do not cherish a particular sin or continue to commit that same sin. A believer who commit sin can repent, confess it, and find forgiveness. A person who continue to by contrast is not sorry for what he or she is doing. Thus this person never confesses and never receives forgiveness. such a person is in opposition to God, no matter what religious claims he or she makes. Under the Old Testament sacrifice system, a lamb without blemish was offered as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus is the Lamb of God who take away the sins of the world (John 1:29). Because Jesus live a perfect life and sacrifice Himself for our sins, we can become completely forgiven (v.2:2). We can look back to His death for us and know we need not to fear eternal death(1Peter 1:18-20).

Thought of the Day: What is your position concerning sin, repentance, and confession?

Prayer: Lord help me to sincerely confess my sins to you that I might receive your forgiveness.

DOES THE WORLD SEE GOD IN YOU? INTRODUCTION 1JOHN 3:1-24

As believers our self-worth is based on the fact that God love us and calls us His children. We are His children now and not sometime in distant future. Knowing that we are His children should encourage us to live as Jesus did. If you want to know that you are part of Gods family you can find out in this verse Romans 8 : 14-17; Galatians 3:26;4:7,7. In verse 1. We are made to know who we are, members of God's family His Children. verse 2. Tells us who we are becoming reflections of God. The rest of the chapter tells us, what we are as we grow to resemble God. (1). We have victory over sin (v. 3:4-9). 2. Love for others (v. 3:10-18). And 3. Confidence before God (v.3:19-24).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, help me and let the world see you in me in my day to day life.

GOD THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE MATTHEW 7:1-14

Today's message is warning us if we are found to be condemning people, do not think you are always right, so you must not judge others. We should rather look into our selves and make sure we are doing God's will. This passage does not condemn correcting any erring person. Prayer is the key that opens the heavenly doors. God our loving Father is always ready to give us what we ask for. God is happy with those who love others like themselves. The tells us that to follow God's way that lead to heaven is not always easy. But rather it is easy to follow the way that leads to hell, the choice is now ours. For the Scripture says Jesus said I am the Way the Truth, and the Life, you can never go to the Father or know Him unless true me, our mind should focus on Jesus and Him alone.

Prayer for the Day: Lord, help me to follow the only way to Heaven in Jesus name. 

BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS MATHEW 7:15-20

False prophets was common in Old Testament times. They prophesy only what the king and the people wanted to hear, claiming it was from God. Jesus indicate that false prophets were just as prevalent in His days. False teachers are just as common today. Jesus says to beware of those whose words sound religious but who are motivated by money, fame or power, you can tell who they are because they in their teaching minimize Jesus and glorify and exalt themselves (v.20). Jesus said yes just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. We should evaluate teacher's words by examining their lives. just as tree are consistent in the kind of fruit they produce, good teachers consistently exhibit good behavior and high moral character as they they seek to live out true Scripture. This does not mean we should witch-hunts, throwing pastors, Sunday school teachers, and others who are less than perfect. Everyone of us is subject to sin, and we must show the same mercy to others as we expect for our selves. When Jesus talks about worthless trees He means teachers who deliberately teach false doctrine. We must examine the teachers motives, the direction the are talking, and the result they are seeking.

Prayer for the Day: Lord Jesus I pray this day you open my spiritual eyes to see and to know those who brings false doctrine into my life.
