Many people believe in the death of the Lord Jesus, but they will not die to their old nature, because they fail to appropriate the power of resurrection to make them new. As we are planted into the death of the Lord Jesus (Rom.6.5), we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection. It is very important that we claim by faith every moment and every day the power of resurrection for a triumphant and victorious life. Every time we read the Bible, we must pray and begin to read if there is service to do, we must pray and begin work. We must receive the power of resurrection by faith for every thing. The gift of God must be received every moment. It is an active and living faith as Paul says in Galatians 2:20 “the faith of the Son of God” – not our faith.
You must be conscious of the Lord Jesus Christ living in you, and then exercise faith for all your needs, responsibilities and trials. The same power can be received for our daily duties, and we receive the same power for times of temptation or hardship. It is wonderful power that is available to us. The two thing go together, first, we receive into us the power to die to ourselves, and secondly the power of resurrection by faith.
Today's calendar Bible verse:
“The Lord thy God … will not forsake thee … nor forget the covenant … which he sware.” Deut 4:31.
