FULFILLING WORD by Rev’d Emefa Djan
Romans 12:2
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
The ways and pattern of this world leads to sin and death, it steals your joy and peace which you get in Christ, It delays your blessings and leads to retrogression, it ruins your good future and makes you miserable and many more. Remember the bible says in John 10:10 that “ the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that you may have life and have it to the fullest.”
Be very alert and know that the agenda of the devil is to steal from you. He is very tricky and comes as if he has your interest at heart and coming to help you, but it’s never true! he is a liar and a destroyer of life. James 4:7 says “humbly yourself before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” May the Spirit of God enable you to resist the devil in every way.
May the Holy Spirit transform you into a new person, changing the way you think. May He lead you to learn and discover God’s good, pleasant and perfect will for your life. Amen 🙏🏽
Reflection:
1. Which behaviour or interest of yours seems alright but giving you a lot of setbacks?
2. In what ways can you resist the devil?
3. What are some of the things to embrace and things to avoid?
Prayer:
Father LORD, glory and honour be unto your name. I thank you for this day and for your life transforming word. Please give me the desire to know and obey Your Word. Help me understand it and to meditate on it. Show me how to apply Your wisdom to my life in practical ways. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, deliver me from evil and enable me to resist the devil and his tricks at all times. Bless everyday of my life. In Jesus name I pray with thanksgiving. Amen 🙏🏽
