THAT ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till (with a view toward being ready for) the Day of Christ.

Kingdom Character

September is
Sincerity Month
Sincerity In Our Preparation for the Day of Christ
DAILY DEVOTIONS


When I talk to God...I ask that you may have more and more love. I ask him that you will also know and understand, so that you will be able to see what things are right. I want you to be clean with nothing wrong in you when Jesus Christ comes back. I want you to be doing right by the help of Jesus Christ. That will make people praise Godand will show how great He is.

Worldwide English (New Testament) (WE)

HEAVENLY FATHER,
Cause these I hold before You to know that You love them just as they are. Bring them to a place of openness and sincerity before You. Reveal any darkness in their lives, so they can be released from its power. Take away their fear of being exposed, so they can come from behind the walls they have put up for protection. Reveal the marvelous deposits of Your grace that are ready to flow unto them. Prepare them for the exposure that will come in Your day,
In the Name of Jesus Christ...


Kingdom Character
Sincerity In Our Preparation for
...the Day of Christ

Paul held great concern in all he wrote that believers should be ready for the Day of Christ. Probably at no time in history should this be of greater concern for Christians than in this present time. Praying one for the other along the lines of the prayers Paul laid out in his Epistles—especially those written from the prison in Rome—may be one of the greater things we can participate in to become ready for that Day.

In what we’re praying this month, we’re dealing with those matters in our lives that will keep us from inheriting the Kingdom. We’re praying toward Kingdom Character being forged into our own basic character and, as it were, praying it into effect in our own lives and in the lives of whomever we hold before God’s Throne. This will be necessary if we are to overcome the anti-Christ and reign with Christ.

Through the ministry of people who pray, genuine persons can come forth, free from religious affectation, and free from habits and ways that cause others to stumble. Thus comes forth a people ready to stand in the Day of Christ.

Here are some ways of helping persons with flaws to become overcomers:

  1. Love them enough to care for their well-being.
  2. Hold them daily in prayer making request that Christ’s Kingdom be set up inside them. Only from Christ’s inward rule can real change come.
  3. Bear them before the Lord without pestering them to change
  4. Do not grow weary!
