   YOU ARE NOT OF THE WORLD 2

MEMORY VERSE: - John 17:16 - “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world”

Furthermore, “Not of the world” also refers to us not being a part of the humanistic or the world's corrupt system which is against God's standard for us. That is to say, we shouldn’t be part of the evil system controlled by Satan that leads us away from worshipping God in spirit and in truth. It speaks of our source of information, influence, motivation, inspiration that is not coming from the world's view but from above. 

We are Christ ambassadors in this world; we are chosen to influence the world with the glory of our heavenly country. So, even though we live in the world, we have been selected or chosen out of it to represent Christ. Wherefore, in John 15:19 last line, Jesus said, “But I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.” Why did He choose us out of the world? It is so that we can spread the world over with His glory, this is why we can’t be like the world but be Christlike.

Therefore, we are on a mission here in this world, we have been sent to stand in for Jesus, we are positioned here to occupy till He comes (Luke 19:13). Thus, in verse 18 of John 17 He prayed, “As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” So, in a nutshell, by saying we are not of this world, Jesus is simply saying, Our kingdom where we truly belonged is not of this world, but from above.

Wherefore, even though we are living in this world, we do not conform to its systems rather, we influence positively and fragrance the world with Christ glory in us. Go therefore and shine the light of His glory.

PRAYER 

Holy Father, I thank you for positioning me in this world to represent you, help me Lord to do according to your purpose and to be a good ambassador for you in Jesus’ name, Amen

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED MEMORY VERSE: - Philippians 1:6 - “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” God doesn't do anything halfway, whatever he starts, he brings it into a perfect end. They maybe distractions in the process, they maybe some forces contending with you to stop you from getting to the finishing point but they can't stop you because they cannot stop He who is involved in the affairs of your life.  Therefore, no matter what the enemy throws your way, have faith in God, refuse to be distracted, refuse to be frustrated by anyone but stay focused: for the Lord God in the midst of your life is mighty and greater than all. Who can contend with Him, who can withstand His great power. He promised you that he is with you always. “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20). And furthermore, in Hebrews 13:5 He said, "I will not leave you

AVOID DIVERSIONS

AVOID DIVERSIONS MEMORY VERSE: - Jonah 1:3 - "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish” (NLT) One of the ways the devil is using to rub many people of their blessing is through diversions. The Lord gave a message to Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and announce his judgment against it because of their wickedness but Jonah chose not to go, instead he went another way and his own way the scripture says was the "Opposite Direction." Oftentimes, people choose to go the opposite direction against God's original agenda for them when things are not going as planned. When vision is being delayed and when they are hit with challenges and difficulties in the process of trying to achieve what they were given to do. In the opposite direction is confusion.... In the opposi

NOW IS YOUR MOMENT

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   NOW IS YOUR MOMENT MEMORY VERSE: - John 11:21-24, "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day"   A lot of people pray but do not believe they can have the answer to their request immediately. Their faith is always in the future. The mindset of future has kept them from embracing that which is theirs at the moment. Thus, they neglect the place of faith in the now of today’s experience. While Martha could only think of the future as the only time her brother could rise again from the dead, Jesus was seeing it happening in the moment. Beloved, it's time to wake up and begin to walk in the 'now' faith. What is now? It means at the present time or moment. it is right
