BEING WITH CHRIST
(Luke11:14-23)
Jesus left his glory on high to
be with man. He came to us to make us like Him. He discovers the presence of
evil and manipulative hands of the devil denting the image of God and keeping
the divine presence far removed. He cleanses, He purges, He casts out the
unclean in order to make us clean enough for Him.
But the enemies of Christ
discredit this Holy work of God. They prefer to ascribe the glory unto the
devil than to God. They prefer to subdue man to become a being unto evil by
distracting the man from Christ and the wondrous doings of Christ to ponder on
satanic deceptions. Thus, attention is shifted from miracle to magic.
Remain a being for Christ. To be
for Christ, you must kick against all that is not of Christ. You should draw
closer daily to Him. You should appreciate and acknowledge His works everyday
of your life. You should not allow any other power to take the glory due to
Christ. You should live true to God and be sincere about where you belong. Am I
for Christ or against Christ? This should be a question I ask myself daily. In
everything I do, Christ or the devil takes glory. I was made for Christ not the
devil. I was created to know God, love Him, worship Him in this world to live
for ever with Him in heaven. Anything outside of this divine plan for us, comes
from the evil one and should be condemned without delay.
LET US PRAY
Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for
coming to destroy the operations of the evil one in my life. Cleanse me, wash
me, purge away everything in me that does not give you glory. Forgive me for
all the times I have given glory to the evil one. Dear Lord God, help me by
Your grace to know You truly, love You wholeheartedly and live with You
eternally in heaven after living for You here on earth through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen
God bless your Thursday (3rd Week
of Lent)
