October 1 Devotion - Our journey of faith with Jesus



Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْمِحْرَاثِ وَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، يَصْلُحُ لِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ».

Luke 9:62


When we start our journey of faith by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we should never look back. We are a new person and cannot live the same way as the old person did.

 We know that our old self [our human nature without the Holy Spirit] was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin.
فَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ هَذَا: أَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الْعَتِيقَ فِينَا قَدْ صُلِبَ مَعَهُ لِكَيْ يُبْطَلَ جَسَدُ الْخَطِيئَةِ فَلاَ نَبْقَى عَبِيداً لِلْخَطِيئَةِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.
Romans 6:6Amplified Bible

When we are fully committed to Christ, we will be committed to His mission. Jesus was committed to the Father’s mission, even to the point of death on The Cross for the remission of our sins.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. Lord I praise You for Your work in my life. Jesus I know that You are committed to me Lord, and I know that You have a purpose and a wonderful plan in store for me. Help me to stay obedient and committed to You and Your calling for my life. Give me wisdom and insight into my personal mission that You have chosen for me, and the strength to bring it to fruition. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Your only begotten Son Jesus, I pray to You Father. To Jesus; my Lord and Saviour; be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
