CUT IT OFF

DAILY GRACE
SAT. 5TH NOV, 2016
TOPIC: CUT IT OFF
TEXT:  MARK 9:43

Dearly beloved, you are blessed beyond measure, above failures, evils and all challenges of life in Jesus' name. Grace and glory will locate your life today. 
  "And if your hand offend you, cut it off, it is better for you to enter into life maimed than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched."  
          
   The Christian journey calls for daily self examination and denial, as long as you are determined to walk with God and also to please Him. You need to learn to have your total focus, trust and dependence on Him alone. Contentment is the key (Godliness with contentment is a great gain for you in life).
Look inwardly and do a thorough examination of who you really are on the inside.

Do you crave for earthly things so much that even when it is not within your reach you will do all you can do to get it?
What exactly is it that you love so much than God that is even taking the place of God in your life?
What is really taking your focus and devotion away from your Creator? (love of money, worldly pleasures, self gratification and fame).
After identifying those things, you need to "cut it off" because they are unfruitful works of darkness.
 By cutting off means that you do away with it, forsake it, deprive yourself of it.
The text above says, its even better to cut off your hand, if it is going to hinder your eternity with God rather than having your two feet and still end up in hell.
Self denial and intentional discipline is the key here under His grace. And living with eternity in view will make this pursuits to be your desire.
Take intentional decision to deny yourself of luxury spending, lots of time gisting, gossiping and wasteful chatting rather than spending time with God in the place of prayer, studying of the word of God and productive engagement to God and humanity.                             
  Enjoy your day!

Personal Confession: Oh Lord, help me to denial myself, that l may spend eternity with you  in Jesus' name.

Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
