Topic: Cover Yourself With Him.
Today’s Scripture: “But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for [nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires.” Romans chapter 13 verse 14, (AMP). AMPLIFIED BIBLE.
Message: Is there something in your life that you would like to put a stop to today? Maybe it’s a certain behaviour, addiction or bad attitude that isn’t pleasing to God. Just as Adam and Eve were exposed in their sin and needed to be clothed in the Garden, we need to clothe ourselves to protect us from sin. When you “clothe yourself” with the Lord Jesus Christ, He strengthens you against temptation.
How do you clothe yourself with Jesus Christ? In the same way you cover yourself in the natural with clothing—by putting something on. You have to daily “put on” the Word of God. You have to cover your ears by listening to the Word (Bible verses from the scripture). You cover your eyes by watching only what is pleasing to the Lord. You cover your mouth by speaking the Word of God and encouraging those around you in the Lord. As you cover yourself with Christ, you will be strong against temptation, and you will walk in the victory the Lord has planned for you!
Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for my sins. Thank You for providing a way out of temptation so that I can stand clean before You. Help me stand strong as I cover myself with Your Word in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: In Psalm 119 verse 9 (NIV), the Psalmist asked a pertinent question, and also immediately provided the correct answer to the question when he said: “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word”. Our Lord Jesus Christ also confirmed this in John chapter 15 verse 3 (NIV), when He said: “You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you”. There’s cleansing power in the word. You shall receive the grace to regularly read and meditate in the word of God, and by so doing, get yourself purified through the cleansing power of God’s word. Ability to live sanctified life, and cover yourself with His word is given to you, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
