“BELIEVERS’ ‘BE’-ATTITUDES”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Therefore, if anyone is united with the Messiah, he is a new creation — the old has passed; look, what has come is fresh and new! And it is all from God, who through the Messiah has reconciled us to himself and has given us the work of that reconciliation………..” (2 Corinthians 5:17-20)
Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to Himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God.
In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and He has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.
We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to Him.”
BELIEVERS’ ‘BE’-ATTITUDES
If you are a Christian, remember that people judge our Lord by us. It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice. The devil will always promise you the whole world but remember that he does not own a grain of sand. Saints of God, your heart cannot be pure when your tongue is not clean.
- We must always be free in our minds, holding onto the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5).
- We must always remember that as we have Jesus in our lives, we receive the power to be called His children (John 1:12).
- We must always be ourselves, not trying to be someone else (1 Samuel 17:38-39). We are uniquely made therefore we must maintain our unique personality.
- We must be disciplined in our personal lives in all these areas:
Prayer, Study of God’s word, relationship with others, communication and using the right choice of words (Ephesians 4:29 / Colossians 4:6)
- We must always set our priority right in the following order:
God comes first, then spouse, children and vocation (Genesis 26:24-25) - We must always examine our lives in the mirror of God’s word (2 Corinthians 13:5).
- We must forgive and forget the past (Matthew 6:14-15 / Mark 11:25-26 / Isaiah 43:18-19).
- We must not bear grudges or bitterness (Leviticus 19:18 / Hebrews 12:15 / Acts 8:23).
- Our speech, teaching, correction to others must not be vindictive (Romans 12:17-19).
- We must not compete but complement one another (2 Corinthians 10:12).
- We must build bridges to connect, not barriers to disconnect.
Somebody shout, “PRAISE THE LORD!”
Shalom and good morning.
