Word of Hope for
Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
How our Character Is Formed (Part-1)
‘…This has been your manner from your youth…’ Jeremiah 22:21 NKJV
Today’s Insight
You
will discover that successful people like Peter and John are always creatures
of habit. ‘Peter and John went…to the temple at the hour of prayer…’ (Acts 3:1NKJV). And
this day God used them to bring healing to a man who’d been crippled from
birth. As a result, 3,000 people were won to Christ and joined the church. But
it all began with a daily habit.
Your
habits determine your future. Psychologists estimate that 90 per cent of your behavior
is habitual – 90 per cent! Habits can help you do things more quickly and
remove mental clutter so that you can think about more important things. But
they can also be detrimental and lead you in a direction that is out of line
with your dream.
Think
about the person who dreams of winning an Olympic gold medal in the marathon,
but smokes two packs of cigarettes a day. Or the person who dreams of being a
fashion model, but eats 6,000 calories a day without exercising. Or the
business person who dreams of leading a winning team, but habitually insults
and belittles employees. Habits have a cumulative effect, and often the results
don’t show up until much later in life. If your habits are bad, by the time the
damage is evident it’s too late to alter your results.
Life
Application:
You need to take
control of your habits, now. Unless you are willing to confront the habits you
need to change, and institute new ones, you can stand on 101 different
Scriptures, claiming God’s promises, but you’ll get nowhere.
Heavenly
Father thank you for your powerful Word today. Lord thank you that you are so
good to us because you gave us your Word to lean on and meditate so that our
minds will be filled with goodness, praise, worthy and noble things so that our
habit or character is in line with your commandments and that we are certain
Lord that if we meditate on your Word we believed that something will happen to
us because your Word can blessed us and our character can influence others to
change their lives for your glory, In Jesus Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
In order to grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting
today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services
Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Seminars and make God
first place in your life with your talents and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus
to others that they may receive Eternal Life also.
