And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

(Philippians 1:6, ESV)

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” —Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

Lent Devotional By Lucie N'Guessan (Tearfund) - Day 4: “A transformation prayer”:

“Every Saturday, we will focus purely on prayer. Take your time with this. Allow yourself space to tune in to how God might be leading you to respond.

Write down three situations where you want to see change take place on a piece of paper, in a notebook, in this booklet, or on your phone. These might be situations where you have felt stuck for some time or global circumstances where change seems impossible.

Once you have written them down, read through them, place your hand over them, then thank God that change is possible. Ask God what he is already doing in these situations and how he might want you to participate. Be silent for a few seconds. Release the burden to God. Repeat this as many times as you like. You might want to do this together with a friend, family member, or group that you trust.

Living His Word

...being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ — Philippians 1:6

There are times when we feel like we have not made any progress at all in our walk with God. There are times when sin rears its ugly head in our lives and, as a result, we feel like we have fallen back to square one. We wish that our lives were unwavering ascents into the fullness of what it means to be a Christian, but the reality seems to be something far less encouraging at times.

The good news is that the work of conforming ourselves to the likeness of Jesus Christ is a work in the hands of God. In Romans 8:29 the Apostle Paul says that "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." We may give up on ourselves, but God does not give up on us. He is always working to make us look more and more like Jesus.

Indeed, God was the one who initiated the process of becoming like Jesus in the first place. He was the one that "delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love" (Colossians 1:13). And we can't boast about this because "by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). God began the whole process in us and He won't stop working on us.

God will complete the work He began in us all the way to the day of Jesus Christ. Our salvation is sure, but we still have the daily battle of putting off sin and becoming more like Jesus. Just as God once worked to save us, He now works to sanctify us. The process of sanctification continues in our lives until we die and in the church as a whole until the day of Jesus Christ's return.

If the sin that remains in your life has gotten you down, then take comfort today in Paul's confidence. God has not given up on you. He is working to make you more like Jesus. And since He is God, He will complete the work.

"GOD SEES YOUR POTENTIAL"

Judges 6:15-16, “But Gideon said to Him, “Please Lord, how am I to rescue Israel? Behold, my family is the least [significant] in Manasseh, and I am the youngest (smallest) in my father’s house.” The Lord answered him, “I will certainly be with you, and you will strike down the Midianites as [if they were only] one man.” (AMP) There was a sign that read Antique Auto Show, so Rob and his wife…

Unlock Your Potential: What Would You Find?

Unlock Your Potential: What Would You Find?

The word “potential” means “having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.” The Apostle Paul apparently thought that there was an amazing amount of potential out there: “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”.

Four Descriptors of the Man or Woman of God

I have two objectives with this post. To be biblical To not be overly complicated. What are the best descriptors of someone who walks with God?  It would hard to do better than the description of Job given three times in the early chapters of the book of Job. Let’s try them on. “There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job;and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning…

God is a Starter AND a Finisher

Over the years I have had many projects. I learned to decoupage and I made several decoupage pieces for others, like their wedding invitation and marriage certificate or some other treasured photo or document. I have also been a greeting card graphic artist and was able to include words or a poem I wrote that expressed my love for the intended person. When I was half-way through any project, I…

What Do You Believe During Your Time in the Wilderness? (192) - May 6 2023

LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST Pastor Catrice speaks on this week’s topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness. Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid by what they saw and didn’t acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give…
