Title: Jesus Christ desires to make you a person of character, stature and achievement.
“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.”
Isaiah 51:1-2 KJV
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
Galatians 3:13-14 KJV
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ to make you a person of character, stature achievement and self-assurance. This is accomplished as you engage the word of God. As you open your heart to the word of God, embrace it and allow it to transform your way of thinking, your way of speech and finally the way you act.
The beginning point is acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, believing He died for you, shed blood so that your sin may be forgiven and that on the third day, in the greatest show of force the universe has ever seen, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. In so doing He conquered death on your behalf to give you eternal life. You need then to put complete faith and trust in Him.
By having complete faith and trust in Jesus Christ, you will experience God for yourself, you will have a personal experience of Jesus Christ- this is critical. Abraham is described as the father of all who believe, why? Because when human reason for hope had gone, he put his trust in God and what He had spoken. The word of God teaches us that he staggered not, wavered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith giving glory to God. (Genesis 15:1-6, Romans 4:16-21).
Through trusting in God, having a strong relationship with His word, reading it prayerfully and meditating upon it God wants you to receive the blessing of Abraham through Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:13-14). The blessing of Abraham is every positive outcome in your life and includes making you a person of stature, character achievement and self-assurance. Jesus Christ desires you to receive the Holy Spirit through faith, who will in turn will change your character. (Galatians 5:22-23).
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you that through faith in Jesus Christ, I receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. I renounce every working of the enemy Satan from my life. I say Satan you have nothing in me and I have nothing in you. I plead the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ upon my life. I acknowledge Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, and today I ask you Lord Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit. Amen.
