Be Transformed!

Dear BFC,

As believers of Christ and children of God, we need to be alert and careful of how we live. God has repeatedly warned us of Satan's plan to destroy us. In today's materialistic and over-commercialised world, Christians can be easily distracted and trapped by Satan. Many of us simply live day by day like any non-believers except that we claim to be Christ-believing. As a Christian, we need to live differently from the world. The world's attraction creep into our lives. Many simply fall into the patterns of the world.

God clearly warned us "do not give the devil a foothold". Are you giving the devil a foothold over your life, school, service or family? Many things that seem harmless may turn around and destroy us. For example, if we do something wrong or we get involved in something which is not right, we give the devil a "toehold." If we continue in this area, it will grow into a "foothold" and soon it gets worst and becomes a stronghold. A simple hobby may seem innocent but the thing we like to do may be stealing time and energy from us and leave us with no time for God - we end up forsaking God. Is there something in your life that is distracting you and affecting your walk with God? Do you seek Him daily? Do you thirst for His Word? Do you have a relationship with Him? Is something in your life luring you away from God? Why not seek God now and ask Him to reveal it to you.

"Father, in the precious Name of Jesus, I thank You for loving me. I am so blessed by the love that You showed me. Revel to me the truth about my life. Your truth will set me free from any sin, bondage or stronghold. Show me the part of my life that is taking me away from desiring You and Your Word. I want to walk closely with You. I want to seek You daily. I want to desire Your Word. By the power and authority that You have given me, I break any and all unholy links or contacts or involvement I have made with the kingdom of darkness and I command any spirit that is not from you to leave my life, my school, my home and my family. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen!

Shepherd
