MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONS GOD’S WAY

*MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONS GOD’S WAY*

Key Bible Text:
*Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,* (
II Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV))

_Bible Insight:_
Do negative emotions threaten to overwhelm you? Through the power of God’s word, they do not have to overcome you! God created us to experience emotions, however there are Godly and ungodly methods to manage them.

Consider the word itself: e-motion. Emotions move you to action. Your emotions originate from your thoughts. *If your emotions are based upon lying thoughts (those that do not agree with God’s word) then they can lead you to take ungodly actions.*

The enemy often sows lying thoughts into Christians’ minds to steal, kill, and to destroy us. But Jesus came that we might have life. We can live in His peace when we develop His mind according to 2 Corinthians 10:5: *“casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…”*

Because Jesus is the living Word, your goal is to assess your thoughts to ensure they agree with His word. Acknowledge your feelings but then ask yourself, "What must I believe to feel this way?" That will help you to uncover the thought behind the feeling and see if that thought agrees with God’s word.

MEDITATION:
*Remember: Just because you "feel" an emotion does not mean the thought behind it is true. Therefore, to glorify the Lord with your actions, ensure that your emotions are based upon the truth in God’s word.*

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
