GROW IN RIGHT BEHAVIOR
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: MONDAY, 19 SEPTEMBER 2022
Growing is a lifetime journey that happens to us instinctively. We can’t control it, but we can direct it. It’s the act that we don’t have power over, we can’t muscle it either, but we can influence it and be responsible for what or whom we become of it. So, it’s wise, we grow in right behavior. However, the truth of the matter is, no growth would be right if it’s not in Christ Jesus. So, then, what does it mean to grow in Christ Jesus? And the Bible has this to say in John 17:3,
SCRIPTURE: Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (Joh 17:3 NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: To grow in Christ Jesus means to increase in our knowledge of Christ and become more persistent in our love for Him and our obedience to Him. And when we begin to grow in right behavior in Christ Jesus, everything about us would be right. Yes, that’s true, because the Bible says in Him we are complete (Col 2:10). This means everything about our lives, families, security, businesses, and careers are safe in Christ (Col 3:3). So, the big question now is, how then do we grow in right behavior in Christ? We shall look at that tomorrow, but till then, Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When you begin to grow in right behavior in Christ Jesus, everything about you would be right.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, make a conscious effort to grow in right behavior in Christ.
PRAYER: O LORD, give me the grace to grow in right behavior in You, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)
PROPHETIC WORD: As you grow in right behavior in Christ, may God establish you and yours, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: John 17:3, Col 2:10; 3:3
