THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: MONDAY 15 June 2020.
TOPIC: THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD "CHRISTAN" II.
TEXT: 2 COR. 5:16-20 

MESSAGE
Antioch is actually supposed to be the"mother church" in Christendome and not Rome. It is recorded that Paul and Barnabas sojourned in Antioch for one full year, teaching and grooming people from various belief about God to be under the umbrella of Christianity. There was a lot of contempt, mockery and persecutions from other professed scholars in the Jewish religious together with the hearthens and Gentiles which did not restrain or deter these true followers from sticking together in their manner and belief of worship once converted. 



There was no longer Jews nor Gentiles as all the former marks of distinction and separation were no longer visible in the new church of Christ. The name of Jesus although not used in philosophy were the followers of Plato assured and preferred to be called Platonists and other likewise, the office of Christ- the anointed magnified as it became a prefix to those who agree to become His faithful hence Christ-like or Chris-tain. Thus they believed in Him who is the anointed that through Him they shall have anointing "And God said to have anointed us in Christ" 2 Cor. 1:21. Our text in verse 17 says "Therefore if any man be in Christ,he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things have become new".
 Beloved,in changing our names we must amend Our manners to suit our profess. As we must look upon ourselves as Christians so we must look upon other Christians and love and respect them because of whose name they bear and belong to. More so,no man who nameth the name of Christ should continue in any form of or things that resemble evil. Good day.

PRAYER POINTS: 
START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..
1. Appreciate God for a new day and for His word.
2. Pray for forgiveness in any way you made mockery of his name.
3. Pray that God should give you a new heart to start all over again.
4. Pray for the spirit of love and unity so that we can promote the gospel.

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Mystery of Addition

By Date -
Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased!   Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
