MEMORISE: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
READ: Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
MESSAGE
Many people think that to live good life, one must be wealthy, have many good cars, have rich friends, and be free to do as one pleases at any time.
On the contrary, having affluence and wealth without Christ is a waste.
There is a very important question in Matthew 16:26: “Of what benefit is it to gain the whole world and lose one’s soul?” The answer is, “Nothing!” Without Christ, you can never live a good life.
To live a good life on earth, you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
After this, ask the Holy Spirit to take charge of your life. Thereafter, you should study the word of God daily because therein lies the keys to living a good life and having good success.
Also, when you study the word of God and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, you will know how to relate with other people, manage the wealth that you have, choose good friends, give to the poor, and live a humble life.
ACTION POINT
Read at least one chapter of the Bible every day.
HYMN 9 – DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
- Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
CHORUS
O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed, Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word.
- Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will. - Deeper, deeper! tho’ it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow. - Deeper, higher ev’ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
