CALLED TO BE SAINTS

TEXT: 1 Corinthians1:2

 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:* 

Many believers struggle with identity, not because God has not spoken clearly, but because they listen more to culture, weakness, and past failures than to God’s Word. 

Scripture does not describe believers as sinners trying to become saints; it calls them saints who must live according to who they already are in Christ.

The moment you were born again, you were sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be a saint. This calling defines your true identity. Your life is meant to flow from this divine calling, not from human limitations or excuses. 

God never calls a man into a state He does not empower him to live in.
Do not be deceived into thinking that holiness is impossible or that perfection is unattainable. God’s standard has not changed. What He commands, He supplies grace for. 

The believer who understands his identity will naturally pursue purity, righteousness, and obedience, not to earn salvation, but because that is who he truly is.

 *Your identity determines your conduct. When you see yourself as God sees you, you will live above sin, fear, and compromise. Live as who you are called to be - A SAINT.* 

 *BIBLE READING:* 

Ephesians 1:1-20.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, I thank You for calling me a saint and sanctifying me in Christ Jesus. Please open my eyes to fully understand my true identity in You in Jesus name. Amen.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
