FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Does your life reflect Christ?<\/p>\n

Matthew 7<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What kind of man are you before God? Do you know what kind of man before God? Psalm 1:1-2 described man, \u201cBlessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong>, and in His law he meditates day and night.\u201d (Psalm 1:1-2) <\/em><\/strong>Does the psalmist\u2019s description fit you as a man? God alone sees all about His creation. In life, man can be deceived but God cannot be deceived. A man cannot be so innocent or ignorant about the kind of self in the way of living life.
\nAre you kind of man that is carrying a placard that Jesus is Lord but not having a place for Jesus in way of living life? Truly and indeed, He knows all about man.
\nJesus stated in Matthew 7:22-23, \u201cMany will say to Me in that day, \u2018Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?\u2019 And then I will declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Getting work done in His name for His name without walking in His ways will get no one to be recognized by Jesus when it matters the most.
\nWhat kind of man are you before God? Today, with honest, question and answer self to identify the kind of man are you before God.
\nJesus once asked His disciples, saying to them \u201cwho do men say that I am\u201d (Mark 8:27)<\/em><\/strong> It is not that it matters to Jesus who the people say He was or He is today. However, it is glaring by virtue of His walk, where He sat and what He stood for. He is the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords.
\nDoes your life reflect Christ? Are you a bible which people can read? Is the word of God rooted in you? Man can be deceived but God cannot be deceived. It is possible for man to be well decorated before man but naked and empty before God. Forget about your titles, it is how you engage God\u2019s task for you that matters before God. In life, your walk, where you sit and what you stand will answer to the question about what kind of man are you before God.
\nDo to yourself what the psalmist did to self as stated in Psalm 26:1-4, \u201c<\/strong>Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>It is the walk we walk that will identifies us before God.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for the grace to walk His walk and be identified for His glory. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
