READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL TURN THE SEARCHLIGHT ON YOURSELF - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME THURSDAY 13TH OCTOBER 2016.
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.
Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you…? (2 Corinthians
13:5).
Everyone is the expression of what he or she believes. Your daily life
is the loudest voice that gives expression to your belief. As a Christian,
therefore, it’s easy for you to review what you truly believe, and determine
whether or not you’re living the authentic Christian life by examining yourself
and your actions.
Turn the searchlight on yourself. Ask yourself, “What kind of life am I
living?” “What have I been like?” “Am I expressing the love of Christ in
truth?” “Has the Word affected my communication, to manifest the Kingdom of God
in humility and in righteousness?” You need to ponder on such thoughts from
time to time as you evaluate your life with the sole purpose of building and
maintaining an excellent character. Be sure that you’ve been putting the Word
to work in your personal life. Be sure that your will and emotions are always
yielded to the Lordship of the Word.
Be sure that you’re a man or woman of your words. Put yourself to the
test and constantly evaluate your life and actions with the Word, to be sure
that you’re living in faith.
There’re lots of people who have never taken the time to look at
themselves. Now, I’m not talking about looking at oneself in a mirror. I mean
they don’t have moments of personal reflection where they truly assess
themselves. It’s something you have to do occasionally; measuring your personal
growth and progress in life, with and through the Word. You don’t need someone
else to do that for you.
Think about yourself. Who are you? What do you really think about the
message of salvation, health, prosperity, and love that you’ve received? Are
you still dominated by fear, jealousy, and pride? Are you one who gets angry,
and it only takes the power of God to tame you?
Evaluate your life with the Word today. Prove yourself with the Word.
The Word of God is the infallible material to you from God to transform your
life from glory to glory. It’s what you need to cultivate an excellent life and
character: a character of love, kindness, purity, grace and mercy. Build your
life with it.
PRAYER
I thank you, precious Father, for the power and impact of your Word in
my life. Your Word has given me the right mind-set and built in me an excellent
character. I’m the reflection and reflector of your glory, grace, love, truth,
and righteousness. Your Word has pre-eminence in my life today and always, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have
always a conscience void of offence toward God, and [toward] men. ||
|| Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ||
|| 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in
you, except ye be reprobates? ||
