In Him we live
TO LIVE AS A CHRISTIAN IS TO LIVE OUT THE NEW IDENTITY. IT REQUIRES US TO PUT ON OUR NEW NATURE DAILY AND CHOOSE CHRISTLIKE ATTITUDES, RESPONSES, AND ACTIONS.

JOSEPH’S LEADERSHIP FLOWED FROM A DIVINE VISION RATHER THAN PERSONAL AMBITION. EVEN AT DEATH, HE AFFIRMED, “GOD WILL SURELY COME TO YOUR AID.” JOSEPH LIVED WITH A FUTURE-ORIENTED FAITH. JOHN STOTT EMPHASIZES, “CHRISTIAN VISION IS SEEING THE PRESENT IN LIGHT OF GOD’S PROMISED FUTURE.” THIS VALUE CALLS THE CHURCH TO LIVE NOT FOR SURVIVAL BUT FOR MISSION.
Jesus calls us to pray with humility,
persistence, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. Like the disciples, we are called to grow in prayer to draw closer to God and join in the work
of His kingdom. “
The way to discern God’s distinctive call is this: foster a progressively deeper relationship with Him through intentional acts of submission, prayer, meditation, and heightened awareness of our gifts and opportunities, all guided by the Holy Spirit.
Position our Creator at the core of
our existence and faithfully fulfil the responsibilities bestowed upon us
Like an angled mirror, we are meant to show the world the greatness and love of our God exhibited through Christ.
HUMANITY CAN CO-RULE WITH GOD ONLY IF IT KEEPS UP WITH GOD’S GOODNESS.
As thousands turn to Jesus Christ, worldwide, true discipleship is the need of the hour. We need to unpack biblical metaphors to help each Christian understand vital spiritual principles.
We should take our eyes off our present suffering and fix them upon
the eternal glory we will receive when we meet Him face to face. When we
believe that there is a purpose in pain and it brings more glory to us, we can endure every hardship with courage and confidence.”
The Christians today who suffer unjustly for the sake of their faith must recognize it as an integral part of their calling as the children of God. So they can rejoice in it.
