while Jesus was standing there, He cried out,

“Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me, and

let the one who believes in Me drink. As the

scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart

shall flow rivers of living water.’” Now He  said

this about the Spirit, which believers in Him were

to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given,

because Jesus was not yet glorified.

(John 7. 37-39).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS

FOREVERMORE!

that belongs to the calling you received-

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of us all, Who is above all (Sovereign over all),

pervading all and living in us all.

Yet grace was given to each of us individually in proportion to the

measures of Christ’s rich and bounteous gift.

(Ephesians 4.4-7).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Living as becomes you

with complete lowliness

of mind (humility) and

meekness (unselfishness,

gentleness, mildness),

with patience, bearing

with one another and

making allowances because

you love one another.

POINTS FOR MEDITATION

AND PRAISE

1) What characterizes Jesus Christ’s

attitude towards humanity? His

character traits, attitude and behavior

are  our example.

2) Happiness is doing what brings

everlasting rewards.

Happy living requires following the

example set by Jesus Christ, the

Captain of our salvation.

3) Let this same attitude and purpose

and humble mind be in you which was

in Christ Jesus: ( Let Him be your example

in humility:)

Who, although being essentially one with

God (possessing the fullness of the attributes

of God), did not think this equality with God

was something to be eagerly grasped or

retained,

But stripped Himself (of all privileges and

rightful dignity) so as to assume the guise

of a servant, in that He became  a man.

And after He had appeared in human form,

He abased and humbled Himself (still further)

and carried out His obedience to the extreme

of death, even  the death of the cross!

Therefore (because He stooped so low) God

has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed

on Him the name that is above every name,

That at the name of Jesus every knee must bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue openly confess and acknowledge

that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

(Philippians 2 .5-11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

 with its carnal thoughts and

purposes is hostile to God,

for it does not submit itself

to God’s Law, indeed it cannot.

So then those who are living

the life of the flesh, catering

to the appetites and impulses

of their carnal nature cannot

please or satisfy God, or be

acceptable to Him.

But you are not living in the

life of the flesh, you are living

the life of the Spirit, if the Holy Spirit

of God really dwells within you and

directs you.

( Romans 8.7-8a).

INSPIRATION FOR MEDITATION

Meditate on the following:

1) The thought pattern prior to

spiritual rebirth.

2) The new thought pattern after

being filled with God’s Holy Spirit.

3) The contrast between those two

thought patterns.
