Longing for Renewal.


Sub-Topic: Recognizing the Need for Change.

Biblical Text: Romans 12:2.

Commentary:

The world around us is continually bombarding us with messages and pressures that may lead us astray from God's plan. Romans 12:2 recognizes this fact. It starts with a call to action: "Do not conform to the patterns of this world." This text urges us to identify areas in our life where we may be following worldly patterns rather than God's.

The importance of self-reflection: The first step toward regeneration is self-reflection. We need to recognize the areas of our life that need reform. Are there any harmful habits, unhealthy relationships, or restricting beliefs that prevent us from leading a life agreeable to God?

Prayer: Dear Lord, let me realize which parts of my life need regeneration. Guide me towards change in accordance with Your desire.

Work Action: Take some time for silent thought. Journal about one aspect of your life that you believe needs reform or renewal.

Scriptural Reference: Psalm 139:23–24 "God, search me and know my heart; test me and understand my anxious thoughts. See whether there is anything objectionable in me, and guide me in the road eternal."

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
