Religious Vs Relationship

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Word: Matthew 6: 1 – 18

Thought: Religious Vs Relationship

In this passage, Jesus gives us a significant insight about our Heavenly Father. He is not only majestic and holy but personal and loving. We can call Him Abba Father (Romans 8: 15).

Are we merely religious? Or do we have relationship with God in Christ Jesus? When we do have the relationship, we cannot hide the Aroma of Christ Jesus in every part of our day-to-day life.

Spiritual discipline – When you “Give” – “Pray” – “Fast” – Do it secretly

Thought:

In this passage, Jesus gives us a significant warning in three areas of Spiritual discipline.

When you give” Do it secretly”

When you pray” Do it secretly”

When you fast” Do it secretly”

Jesus wants us to get the best compensation possible, so He tells us to be sure we are working for our Heavenly Father and not for other people. He will never disappoint you.

Thought:  Only God deserves to be glorified and lifted up in worship.

Lift up Prayers of celebration in three ways:

  1. Celebrate God’s Kingdom as it breaks into this world.
  2. Rejoice in God’s power as you relinquish your own.
  3. Declare God’s glory by bowing your knees, lifting your voice, and giving Him praise.

May God our Father and LORD Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Ephesians 1: 2

Word: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6:13

Thought: God has promised that He won’t allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear (1 Corinthians 10: 13). Let us stand on the promises of God and resist the devil in the name of Jesus! Choose God’s way by the help of the Holy Spirit.

Thought: A Surprising Answer to Prayer from God – by Charles R. Swindoll

http://www.insight.org/resources/devotionals/a-surprising-answer-to-prayer.html

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is total. It reaches every corner of our experience.

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is long – it continues the length of our lives.

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is high – it rises to the heights of our celebration and elation

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is deep – it reaches to the depths of discouragement or despair (Romans 8: 38 and 39)

Be an inspiration of truth

Greetings. May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Word:  Matthew 5: 14 – 17 says, you are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Thought:

Can you hide a city that is sitting on top of a mountain? Its light at might can be seen for miles. If we live for Christ we will glow like lights, showing others what Christ is like. We hide our light by

  1. Being quiet when we should speak
  2. Going along with the crowd
  3. Denying the light
  4. Letting sin dim the light
  5. Not explaining our light to others
  6. Ignoring the needs of others.

Discipline and Practice: To Grow in Christ centered purity, live according to Christ centered values and attitudes of God’s Kingdom with the help of Holy Spirit.

Wilderness has a purpose

Leave a reply

Dear all,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

 Word: Wilderness has a purpose:

Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4: 1- 4

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A1-4&version=NASB

Thought: Fasting is not to show how spiritually mature, or how special we are; It is not intended to reveal our great devotion to God. It is not to impress other people. It is also not a demonstration of how much discipline we have.

Instead, fasting is a statement of how weak and needy we are. It is an admission of our desperation.

Submit to God and resist the devil in Jesus name (James 4:7). Be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Remember your call (John 21). Keep yourself pure (I Timothy 5:22). Do what is right, love mercy and walk humbly with Him (Micah 6: 8)
