Look into your spirit and bring forth love, joy, peace,

-
You might want to ask, “If someone who’s born
again realizes that he has hatred, anger, bitterness,
jealousy, envy, pride, etc., in his heart, how should he get rid
of them? Should he pray to God to take them away?” First,
you need to know who a Christian is; he’s someone whose
spirit has been recreated by God; and the recreated human
spirit has certain distinct features, such as love, joy, peace,
patience, gentleness, goodness, and faith.
Hatred, anger, bitterness, jealousy, envy and pride
aren’t features of the recreated human spirit; so, refuse to
harbour them. Look into your spirit and bring forth love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. You have
these beautiful features in your spirit. You may call them the
“produce” of your human spirit, because you’re a tree of
righteousness.
The Bible says the love of God is shed abroad in your
heart by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5); this means there’s no
room in your heart for hatred, bitterness, jealousy, and all
such negativities. Those are the works of the flesh. And God
didn’t tell us to pray about them. What He tells us is to put
them off! If that weren’t possible for you to do, He wouldn’t
have said so.
What you should do when there seems to be a
manifestation of the works of the flesh in your life is to use
your mouth! Declare that there’s love in your heart. That’s

what you start with. You might ask, “Must I say it?” Yes, you
must say it, and continue to say it, because your mouth is
the rudder that controls your life. Every now and then, affirm,
“Jesus Christ is Lord of my life, and I walk in love!” The more
you say it, the greater the manifestation and expression of the
love of Christ in your life.
You’re born with the nature of God in your heart; you
have the life of God in you. Be more conscious of the features
of your spirit, and let your words and actions be consistent
with your true nature.
CONFESSION
I walk in the Spirit, and therefore
don’t fulfil the lust of the flesh!
The love of God is shed abroad in
my heart by the Holy Ghost! And
I’ve put on the new man, which is
renewed in knowledge after the
image of Him that created him.
I express the virtues and
perfections of divinity to my
world. Hallelujah!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

-

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
