Pastor Chris
Examine yourselves, whether ye be
in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that
Jesus Christ is in you…? (2 Corinthians 13:5).
Everyone is the expression of what he or she believes. Your daily life
is the loudest voice that gives expression to your belief. As a Christian, therefore,
it’s easy for you to review what you truly believe, and determine whether or
not you’re living the authentic Christian life by examining your own life.
"What kind of life am I living?" "What have I been like?"
"How is the love of God expressed through me?" "How has the Word
affected my communication, to manifest the Kingdom of God in humility and in
righteousness?"
Have you been putting the Word to work, so the Word can keep producing
results in you? Have you surrendered your will and emotions to the Lordship of
the Word? Are you a man or woman of your words? Ponder on these thoughts from
time to time as you evaluate your life with the sole purpose of improving the
excellence of your character.
There’re people who don’t realize the importance of being a man or woman
of their words; their words don’t mean anything to them. That’s unfortunate,
because the greatest gift given to man, in his natural life, is the gift
of words; the ability to express himself in words. Your inner personality, the excellence
and integrity of your character, are revealed through your words; hence, your
words should be your bond.
The Lord Jesus said, ‘by your words you shall be justified and by your
words you shall be condemned’ (Matthew 12:37). One of the ways the world around
you can see Jesus in you is through your character, which is often expressed in
your words; therefore, maintain godly communication every time and everywhere.
Prayer
I thank you, Father, for giving me your Word, which
gives me the right mind-set and excellent character. My life is the reflection
of your grace, love, truth, and righteousness, as I live to your glory, in the
Lordship of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
