"I AM NOT A READER"
"I AM NOT THE READING TYPE"

I've heard this so many times. So many times! You've probably said that too.

Do you know the important thing word in these sentences?

"I"

Identity.

This is an identity problem.

Whenever someone is saying this, he or she is expressing an identity. They are saying "The Me I know is not the reading person".

There is good news. This you that you know can change. Identity is a fluid thing.

Let me use this extreme example, that you may not like. You've heard of people who say they are gay, right? Most times, they don't change their biology, but they change their IDENTITY.

How do you change your identity?

1. Join a group that looks like the person you want to become. In this case, join a book club. You know that proverb that says, a friend of a thief is a thief right? A friend of a bookworm is a .... bookworm. You gerrit?

2. Place reminders that remind you of your new identity. The reason I post on Facebook every day is so that you will see and remember to read. Do you remember how you felt when you saw one post saying something about reading and instantly you went back to read? That's what reminders do for you. This is the reason why athletes fill their rooms with photos of their heroes. It reminds them of the person they want to become. Get reminders. They can be books, they can be quotes, etc.

3. Take action towards the person you want to become. You will never change without taking action. Even small action every day makes the difference. I have always encouraged you, don't start big. Start small. Read 5 pages every day. In fact, no, read 1 page every day. Start from there. Build gradually.

If you do these 3 things for 1 year and you are not a reader, when we meet on the road, you can slap me. No kidding.

It always works.

1. Join a book club.
2. Place reminders. Reaffirm your identity.
3. Take action.

I'm off to work, see you later.

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

According to the law... Without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins( Heb 9:22),Remember, the sinner's sins was transferred unto the lamb and then the lamb was slaughtered for the sins as a sacrifice to take away the sins, according to the law of Moses everything is purified by blood (Heb 9:22).

The Bible says

Leviticus 17:11
"for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible."

In likewise manner: Jesus Christ became the spotless lamb of God( John 1:29, 1 Peter 1:19), who personally carried our sins and the sin of the World on his body to the Cross as a sacrifice that we may be forgiven ( 1 Peter 2:24)

The Bible says " The blood of Jesus speaks forgiveness( Heb 12:24), by shedding His blood on the cross brought forgiveness and took away our sins.
In the old testament under the law sacrifices has to be repeated daily for sins( Heb 10:8) but in the new covenant; since the blood of Jesus speaks forgiveness, His sacrifice on the cross was once for sins for all time, and there is no need for anymore sacrifices because the blood of Jesus speaks forgiveness( Heb 10:12,18, 9:26,28, 7:27, 1John 1:9)

The Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins...
"If we confess our sins to Him He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9

Everyone needs Jesus to be saved, to walk in the light is to walk by faith in Jesus Christ... the Bible says;

1 John 1:7
"But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin."

There's power, wonder working power in the blood of the lamb...power to cleanse and purify us to make us right with God.

Jesus shed His blood on the Cross for all humanity... including you 👉🏽

God demonstrates His own love towards us by sending Jesus to die for our sins and shedding His own blood for us to be forgiven and reconciled to God (See: John 3:16, Romans 5:8)

Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

Come to Jesus and you shall be saved 🧎🏾

Remain blessed!!

~ Evangelist Paul K
JESUS is Coming SOON
