Memory Verse
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed…(2Corinthians 4:8-10).
Dearly Beloved
Many Christians go through life despairing when they are challenged. This should not be so. Your greatest weapon is the word of God. Remember the words of apostle Paul when faced with unimaginable challenges:
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body” (2Corinthians 4: 8-10).
Be strong in the Lord. Challenges should make you stronger.
Salvation is associated with joy in the Holy Spirit. Ensure that you do not lose your joy for whatever reason. Joy is your birth right, the moment you are truly born again.
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).
Be truthful and honest with yourself. Set aside a few minutes to meditate on the word of God. Do it as many times as possible each day.
Be knowledgeable. Be wise. Be enlightened. Stay connected to the Word .
Have a Spirit-filled new day.
Keep your thoughts & mind positive.
Do no think evil against anyone. Be forgiving towards one another.
Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. He speaks.
Be compassionate, merciful and kind to one another. Live in peace with one another. Love one another. Love is the debt you owe everyone you come across.
JESUS said:
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12)
Thank you Jesus for waking me up this morning.
