OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
There is a difference between being called a Christian and actually being a Christian. Many people identify as Christians but don’t reflect Christ in their lives. Going to church, working in a church, fasting, and praying can all be mere religious activities if you don’t reflect Christ in your daily life.
Some people grew up in the church and are used to Christian religious activities but actually live in sin like unbelievers. The way to really know if you have Christ in you is through the changes that have happened in your life since you became born again.
If after two years, for example, the Holy Spirit has not influenced a change in some of your character traits, then you have probably just been playing religion.
Some people pray for hours, yet they lie habitually. Some even work miracles, yet they have unforgiveness in their hearts. While activities such as praying, fasting, evangelising, and so on are important, you must not forget the most important thing – being like Christ. All those activities are a means to an end and not the end in themselves.
Child of God, if you want to truly be like Christ, soak yourself in the word of God by studying your Bible diligently. When you study the Bible, you are fellowshipping with Christ Himself because He is the Word (John 1:1). John 17:17 says that sanctification comes by the word, Ephesians 5:26 says that we are cleansed by the word, and Psalm 119:11 teaches us that when we keep God’s word in our hearts, it will keep us from sinning against Him.
True transformation happens when you fellowship with God through His word. James 1:23 likens God’s word to a mirror. When people check themselves in a mirror, they don’t do it for mere formality but because they want to check their appearance and make changes or adjustments where necessary.
When you study God’s word, your desire should be for Him to transform your thoughts, attitudes, and character through the power in His word. If you were shortempered before you started reading the Bible, God’s word should take away your angry nature and transform you into a patient and calm fellow. If you were sad and sorrowful, His word should take away that garment of heaviness and replace it with praise and joy (Isaiah 61:3).
Beloved, you must allow God’s word to dwell richly in you in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16).
PRAYER POINT: Father, please help me to keep Your word in my heart and live according to Your will at all times, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 24-26
HYMN 59: I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS
