Going deeper...to go further

This month we’re using the daily Bible reading plan to do a Spiritual MOT as we prepare for the journey ahead. Often times it is easy for us to focus on the "paint job" of outward appearances, but God looks directly at the engine room of the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). 2 Corinthians 13:5 calls us to examine ourselves to ensure our faith is genuine and active.

The reading plan starts with a couple days of preparation, followed by four weeks of honest reflection before the Lord. Each day, as we read the Scripture, we need to as ask the Holy Spirit: "Is this an area where I need you to help me work on?" If so, what does that change look like in your life? This isn't meant to bring condemnation; it's a beautiful opportunity for calibration and getting right with God.

Our prayer response: "Lord, examine me. Search my heart. Reveal anything that hinders my walk with You. Repair what is broken, realign what has drifted, remove what does not belong, and fill me afresh with Your Spirit. Make me a trustworthy vessel, ready for Kingdom purpose and faithful until the day I stand before You. Amen."

Spiritual MOT: Lights, tyres & exhaust

Does my life represent Jesus to those around me?

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17Now we are sure that if anyone is in Christ, made one with Him by their faith in Him, then that person is a new creation. The old person he was has died, is buried and finished with – gone forever. Now he has become a new person.Message of reconciliation18All this is entirely the work of God Himself. He alone could reconcile us with Himself, and He has done this through Christ. This is why He has now given us the ministry of reconciliation, to see others made one with Him in His love.19In Christ, God was doing all that was necessary to reconcile the whole world to Himself, a reconciliation that can only take place when men's sins are forgiven and God no longer regards them as guilty.20This means we are Christ's ambassadors; He reaches out to others through us. This is why we beg on Christ's behalf that all of you be reconciled to God, so that you live at one with Him.21Look at what it cost God to make this possible! He caused His perfect Son, who was sinless, to take all our sin upon Himself. He suffered the punishment for sin that we deserve, so that now we might become those who live in right standing with God!

Matthew 28:18-20

18Jesus told them: "All heavenly and earthly authority has been given to Me.19So now I tell you to go and make disciples in every nation. Baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.20Teach them to obey all that I have taught and commanded you. And be assured of this: I am always present with you, even to the end of this age."
