Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Daily Meditations and Affirmations - June 23, 2024

Posted 06-23-2024 at 06:48 PM by Albert Finch


"...that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body." - 2 Corinthians 4:10


We have to develop a godly mindset and habits to express what God's grace has done in us. It is not just a question of being saved from hell, but of being saved so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body through our Christ calling so we can bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom by discipling other Believers into their Christ identity.


Discovering the abundant life in Christ will replace the boring self-absorbed life that previously dominated you.


Never live on your memories of past experiences, but let your Christ calling be living and active in you as you become the world changer you were destined to be.

AFFIRMATIONS:
As I take communion, partaking of the bread and wine, I confirm my oneness with Jesus.

My food and drink is to bear fruit that remains for God’s advancing Kingdom through my Christ calling.

I cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
