THE HABITS!
Ephesians 4:17-32 (22) – You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; (NIV)
Read: Song of Solomon 2:15, 2 Peter 1:2-5
If you carry out a self-check, there may be undesirable habits you have grown with from childhood. They could be poor self- or time-management, disobedience to God and elders, improper table manners, having a sense of pride, pornography addiction, committing sexual immorality, including pre- or extra-marital affairs, and the commonest, which is “telling lies.” For example, many children grow up as trained liars when their parents tell them to inform visitors that they are not at home when they are actually inside the house. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Failure to properly train the children contributes to the poor habits they form over time.
Beloved, there is a call to action: If you notice any anti-Christ behaviour or pattern in your life, get rid of it because bad morals can tarnish your qualities and righteous living. Today’s Bible reading encourages every child of God to do away with the old and unpleasant ways because, in Christ, they are new creatures. More so, you must intentionally grow in God and stay conscious that He has provided everything you need to live a holy life. This consciousness comes from praying, discerning, and studying the Word (Joshua 1:8). By doing so, your lifestyle will conform to the will of God! Finally, steer clear of individuals and situations that incite negative habits, and progress gradually, as the Holy Spirit guides your path.
PRAYER
Hymn: More About Jesus — Eliza E. Hewitt (1887)
1. Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins and destroy every immoral life pattern in me.
2. Holy Spirit, breathe on me and grant me a new mentality.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Father, thank You for my existence, provision, and sanity.
2. Father, please grant me the grace and power always to honour You with my lifestyle.
3. Lord Jesus, help me, my family, my nation, and the Church never to trigger our destruction.
BEHOLD, A NEW YOU!
