In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus distinguishes two types of disciples marked by very different traits. The first group pursues the will of God and embraces poverty, hunger and insults for the sake of the gospel. Forsaking worldly comforts, these believers grieve over the lost generation.The second group is driven by the present needs of life - striving for material riches, earthly comforts and popular approval. Which group are we in is a point to ponder for each one of us. 📖Bible reading: Luke 6:17-26. ✝️#Unleashedforchrist 📆#02Mar2023 🛐🌱#Lenten https://www.instagram.com/p/CpRbf8dvz5N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

God longs to guide you in a process of daily renewing your mind through Scripture. The Holy Spirit longs to help and teach you the truth of Scripture so that you might know the God you serve. If you will commit yourself to a process of renewing your mind, new avenues will be created from your understanding to experience. Commit to growing in your understanding of the Lord today so that you might grow in your relationship with your loving, near, heavenly Father. 📖 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. Psalms 145:18 ✝️ #Unleashedforchrist https://www.instagram.com/p/CnbjIbMvPKg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Temptation! We all face it and we all have to learn how to resist and overcome. Even Jesus was tempted by the devil. The scriptures assure us that Jesus was tempted in every way, just like we are, and yet he did not sin. Because Jesus was tempted just like we are, He is able to sympathize with us in our weakness. He had also set the example for us by overcoming and resisting every temptation through prayer. So whenever you're tempted, take it to the Lord in prayer. 📖 Bible reading: Luke 4: 1-15. ✝️#Unleashedforchrist 📆#27Feb2023 🌱🛐#Lenten https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLLd9ovD7d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We all struggle with fear from time to time, but the good news for us is that God gives us a way out. God wants us to live courageously and has given us everything we need to do just that. All we have to do is call on God for the power, love, and strength we need to face any of our fears. When we keep God in first place in our hearts no matter what we’re facing, we can go forward with confidence that we don’t have to be afraid of anything that’s ahead. ✝️ #Unleashedforchrist https://www.instagram.com/p/CicyTktPxPI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray and gives three important points for how to approach our Heavenly Father. He teaches how to start our prayer with worship; how to learn to receive the daily living word for our life, and receiving the bread of life. He also highlights the importance of asking for forgiveness and releasing forgiveness through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The whole passage is about a relationship with God through Jesus. 📖Bible reading: Luke 11:1-26 ✝️#Unleashedforchrist 📆#15Mar2023 📆🌱#Lenten https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuEthBPwBj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For God to entrust us with the destiny He has designed for us, we have to learn to stay alert in the place of rest. What will you do when things start working for you, what will you do when the desires of your hearts are being realised? Will you stop praying, will you stop trusting God? The secret is to stay guarded and continue to trust in and focus on God, even and especially in the place of rest - a time when everything seems to be going okay and you feel you have everything you want from God. 📖 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, Deuteronomy 8:11. ✝️#Unleashedforchrist 📆#26Feb2023 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpHHu3JPFl8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, awesome respect, love, and fear to the One who created us. Worship helps us develop God-like and Christlike characteristics. When we worship God, we develop traits such as forgiveness, tenderness, justice, righteousness, purity, kindness, and love. All of these attributes prepare us for eternal life in heaven with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ✝️ #Unleashedforchrist https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuFXJOv6Dw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a comfort it is to know that Christ intercedes for us in heaven. It is important because the devil will come and incite us to sin and later accuses us of unworthiness to approach God's presence. The Bible says the devil accuses us before God, day and night. So that is when Jesus intercedes on behalf of us to God and assures His unconditional love for us so that we may be saved. ✝️ #Unleashedforchrist https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPEUAnPazR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
