ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 26TH JANUARY 2023.
Paul served God with a pure conscience and he prayed regularly for Timothy. The genuine faith that was in Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice was also in Timothy. Paul encouraged Timothy to stir up God’s gift in his life because God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind. Timothy should not be ashamed of testifying of Jesus or ofPaul but should share with Paul his sufferings for the gospel.
In Christianity, purity of conscience matters because if we regard iniquity in our hearts, God will not hear us (Psalm 66:18). Some people worship God without a pure conscience, but with ulterior motive; because of what they secretly expect to gain from the Church.
However, God accepts worship from a pure conscience. Do you want to see Jesus after all ‘your years of worship here on earth? Then purge your heart of sin, lust, enmity, etc for Matthew 5:9 tells us that blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
You can purify your heart and conscience by making a conscious effort to think on things that are honest, true, just, pure, lovely, of good report and virtuous(Phil.4:8).
PRAYER: Dear Lord, sanctify my heart and purify my conscience in Jesus’ name, Amen.
