THE MARKS OF THE LORD JESUS
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 23RD JUNE 2017
TOPIC: THE MARKS OF THE LORD JESUS
SCRIPTURE: From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus - Galatians 6:17
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 5:17
DIGGING DEEEP: A mark is an impression that gives one a unique distinguishing trait, quality or feature.
Marks are meant for identification and indication of ownership.
Every one that is throughly born again is a child of God and by implication, belong to Christ (Mark 9:41,Romans 8:16). This indivudual carries an identifiable mark on him.
What are the marks of the Lord Jesus? Lets look at a few:
1. THE MARK OF FAITHFULNESS: One distinguishing trait or quality that indicates one's ownership by the Lord Jesus is faithfulness. Check out the Apostles they were faithful even unto death. In torture they remained faithful, nothing could change them from serving and chasing after the things of the kingdom. Everyone that belongs to Christ is expected to be faithful in prayer, in tithes and offerings, in studying the word of God, in your marital relationship, general human relations and in service to God.
2. THE MARK OF OBEDIENCE: Obedience is a show of total surrender. It is putting God's principles first and above all in your life. It is living your life patterned according to the will of God. Everyone who bears this mark on them reverence God and wouldn't do what God hates.
3. THE MARK OF LOVE: God is love and as His children this is our trait. The world was hostile to Jesus Christ but He loved man all the same. Love is the expression of the nature of God in you. It destroys hatred from your heart, restrains you and compels you to be in comformity with Gods laws and will. There is no coveteousness, resentment, indignation or revenge in love. Love forgives and does not backbite. Love is patient and kind.
Finally, Christ in us gives us a whole new different identity, character and personality. Acts 4:13 says
"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordiny men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." The mark of Christ on you is the expression of the impression of your encounter with Christ. To the point that your life becomes an epistle unto others.
I pray for you today, may the traits of righteousness and holiness find full expression in your life in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: My Father my Lord thank you for Your word. I recieve untamable energy to express JESUS to my world in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: No mark of Christ, no acts of Christ- Dr. Dabbas Joel
