Word
of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Growing
in the Combat Zone (Part-1)
“Share in the troubles we have like a good soldier
of Christ Jesus.”2Ti 2:3 NCV
Today’s Insight
Salvation enlists you into the service
of Jesus, the King of Kings. His battles become your battles and His strategies
your strategies. There are no exemptions; you’re “in for the duration.” Satan
has declared war on you, and it’s “conquer or be conquered.” He will attack you
on three fronts. Let’s look at each:
1.
The attack from the world. Ever feel like you don’t “fit
in”? You’re not supposed to! “Don’t you realize that friendship with the world
makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the
world, you make yourself an enemy of God” (Jas 4:4 NLT). The line has been
drawn; there’s no peaceful coexistence in this war. What is “worldliness”? It’s
not being in the world, but being like it.
It’s not mixing with the world, but blending in
with its self-centered values, its “relative” morality, and its attitudes
toward God, His cause, His Word, and His people. The world’s hunger for power,
popularity and self-promotion contradicts the principles of Scripture. “Genuine
religion in the sight of God [is]…refusing to let the world corrupt you” (Jas
1:27 NLT).
Application:
Jesus told us to avoid becoming swept
up in the world’s obsession with material things, or its fear of not having
enough to meet our needs (See Mt 6:25-34). You are called to be “salt” and
“light” (See Mt 5:13-14). You are to be the influencer, not the influenced.
When the world can’t tell you apart from them, your light has gone out and your
salt has lost its flavor.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank for
your Word Today. Lord, thank you for teaching us that it’s ok to live in this
world and not being like them and not mixing or blending with their self-centered
nature. Lord teaches us to be the light and salt of the world and to influence
the world positively with our Christ like attitude so that we can live more
than a better world but living in the rulership of God being one family with
God that forgiveness, love, faith, and hope everyone upholds. Lord strengthens
me and give me wisdom even I live in this world I will grow in your Word and in
the life of prayer 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, In Jesus Name!
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 for you 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
