I want to be like Jesus: Hymn 696

Posted on by

1: I want to be like Jesus,

So lowly and so meek;

For no one mark’d an angry word,

That ever heard Him speak,

2: I want to be like Jesus,

So frequently in prayer;

Alone upon the mountain top,

He met his Father there.

3: I want to be like Jesus,

I never, never find

That He, though persecuted was

To anyone unkind.

4: I want to be like Jesus,

Engaged in doing good;

So that of me it may be said

“He hath done what he could.”

5: I want to be like Jesus,

Who sweetly said to all,

“Let little children come to Me;”

I would obey the call.

6: But oh I’m not like Jesus,

As anyone may see;

O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,

And make me like to Thee

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

We are not saved by our good works, but saved in order to do good works

We are not saved by our  good works, but saved in order to do good works

Acts 16:14-15

“Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.”
NKJV

As we see in Acts 16, Lydia was not saved by good works, but saved in order to do good works.

Once saved, Lydia began to fellowship with other Christians. You see, it is the responsibility of every Christian to be in fellowship with other Christians. Fellowship helps you in your faith, and it will help other believers in their faith.

The author of Hebrews says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV.

The word used for ‘stir up’ also means to ‘provoke’. It is like going to the dentist…stay with me here. When you go for a check-up, the dentist uses a sharp tool to poke around at your teeth, right? It is not until he pokes the one tooth that makes you jump that you discover you’ve got a cavity. Once you know that you have a problem with your tooth, you can take steps to fix it. It’s not pleasant, but it’s necessary as it keeps a small problem from turning into a big problem.

Interaction with other believers may not always be comfortable. Someone may see our sore spots – areas where we are weak or where we fail to glorify God. We may even get ‘poked’ in those spots. Sometimes we are not aware of the sore spot and the ‘poking’ brings to our attention the need to repent and change. Other times we are covering up the sore spot, and it takes encouragement from a brother or sister for us to make a change. Now, I’m not saying that you should nitpick all your friends until you find something wrong that you can point out to them – not at all! Rather, it’s a natural part of fellowship with other believers. Solomon put it this way:

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend.” NLT

When you grind two pieces of iron together, you may get sparks, but it’s not just one piece of iron that is sharpened; both pieces benefit from the process. Don’t ignore this vital part of your Christian walk! I’m probably poking someone in a sore spot right now (poke!).

Life Lesson: We should fellowship or hang out with people in the church.

Dear Father,
Thank You for loving me. Thank You that I am not alone in this Christian walk. Please forgive me for the times when I have neglected fellowship. Please give me a desire to fellowship with my family in Christ. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Living to tell what He died to say,
Pastor David McGee

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Do you know
that you are the light in your world?
The Lord Jesus Christ wasn’t kidding when He said, “Ye are the light of
the world…..” (Matthew 5:14); He meant every word He said.

What is
light? Light is that which makes manifest; it gives direction and shows the
way. Also light brings fulfilment and joy. This is why He gave you the
responsibility of teaching the people of the world the way to live (Matthew
28:19). What a calling, what an honour, what a commission!

Jesus
announced to the people that He is the Light of the world (John 8:12). You are
the light of the world today, in the same sense as Jesus was the light of the
world in His day. If you are a student, you are the light of your school. If
you are a businessman, you are the light of your industry. If you are a
policeman, you are the light of the service. If you are a soldier, you are the
light of the army.

Jesus has
made you the light of the world! When you understand this truth, it’ll put
springs in your steps. There can be no darkness in your life anymore for you
are the light of the world. Sickness, poverty, discouragement and death are no
longer part of your life. There’s something special about you. You’re unique
and different; you’re a shining light. Begin to walk in this reality today.

CONFESSION

I’VE FOUND MY PLACE.
I’VE DISCOVERED WHO I AM – THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. I AM SHINING FOR JESUS
CHRIST TODAY! I WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS. I WILL NEVER WALK IN CONFUSION OR
DEFEAT BUT IN VICTORY, IN JESUS CHRIST NAME, AMEN!
