When we call ourselves children of GOD, we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Saviour. We have repented of the old sinful self. We have had a 180 degree turn in our thinking and we know that we are sinners by nature. We need then to know that our old ways are not the way in which GOD wants us to live our lives anymore.
Therefore, we need to know that foul language, lustful ways, greed, malice, jealousy and all the things that we used to give in to, are not the way of GOD. We need therefore, to watch what we say and what we do.
We need to change the way we do things completely and this needs to be evidenced by the lives that we choose to live.
So today, let us put aside the things that this world finds so acceptable. Let us stand up for GOD and let be counted as true children of GOD evidenced by the way we conduct our lives. Not just in public but in private too!
Let us not be hypocritical but let us choose to live here on earth as Jesus would.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, help me today to put off my old self. Help me not to sin. Help me not to use profanity, not to be greedy or jealous. Help me not to lust after the things of this world, but to store up for myself treasures in YOUR kingdom. Help me to serve others and to be a good example of YOUR child here on earth. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay purely GOD blessed today!
