May 3, 2020 Methodist Daily Reflection :- Amend Your Ways

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

May 3, 2020 Methodist Daily Reflection :- Amend Your Ways


METHODIST DAILY REFLECTION 

SUNDAY 3RD MAY, 2020

THEME: Amend Your Ways

PASSAGE: Matthew 3:1-12

John the Baptist started his ministry with special emphasis on repentance. He warned the people to turn from their evil ways, for the kingdom of God is at hand. He also informed them of the coming of a more powerful man than him, who would turn everything around.

Repentance in our context is a complete turn-around from doing evil to doing good. It is total turning away from rebellion against God and His Word and becoming His obedient child. It is saying bye to lying, cheating, stealing, taking revenge, adultery, bearing false witness and other evils.

John was remarkably different from other preachers and leaders of his day. While many were greedy, selfish and preoccupied with winning the praise of the people just like we have many of such so-called "Men of God" today, John was only concerned with the praise of God.

Some people came out to hear this simple man who wore strange clothes and ate strange food. Some came out of curiosity but ended up repenting of their sins as they listened to his powerful message.

The same message is still being preached today, 'Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand;' John attracted so many people and He was daring as a Preacher. He did not spare his audience, including Herod and religious leaders, but urged them to repent of their sins. When you wash dirty hands or clothes the results are immediately visible, but true repentance comes from your heart, which only the all-knowing God can see or decipher. It is not outward show only.

As a sinner before God, are you truly ready to amend your ways and make that your crooked path straight? A changed life with new and Christ-like behaviour makes your repentance real and visible.

HYMN: MHB -BLESSED are the pure in heart

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 3:3 For this is he who was spoken of by the Prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight."

PRAYER: Most merciful God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner; cleanse me from within and make me whole so that I may be counted worthy in Your eternal kingdom. Amen.

 Read - Day: Mark 8; Night: Judge 7-8
