Topic: Be an Imitator of Christ.
Today’s Scripture: “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
Ephesians chapter 5 verses 1 and 2, (ESV). English Standard Version.
Message: If you’re truly an imitator of Christ in every area of your life, you won’t be afraid to be different from other people as yesterday’s message taught us. Have you ever spent time with a small child or baby and had them mimic your every sound or action? To them it’s a fun game, but internally, they are learning by watching and copying everything you do. They just observe and do the same thing. That’s because we are all wired to be imitators. Even as adults, just like little children, we are all still imitators. So many people today end up imitating what they see in the world, on TV, in the news and magazines. But scripture tells us that we are to be imitators of God and follow the example of love that Christ gave us. If you need to make a change in your life today, change what you are imitating. Change your focus. The more you focus on the Word, the more you will imitate God. When you do things God’s way, you will get God’s results—peace, joy and blessing all the days of your life!
Prayer for Today: “Father, I choose to put You first in my life and imitate You. I set aside the things of the world and invite You to search my heart and mind. Give me Your heart of love and let me be an example of Your goodness in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: Strong determination to make positive change in your life today, by changing what you are imitating is released to you. Grace to change your focus to Jesus, (the Author and Finisher of your faith), and do things in God’s way shall be yours. As you allow this determination to settle in your heart, God’s peace, joy and blessing shall be yours all the days of your life. So shall it be in Jesus mighty name. 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.
