Topic :A New Beginning In Jesus.

Memory Verse :‭Acts 17:28. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

Bible Reading :‭Acts 17:25-27 NIV‬. Key Verse : v27.

And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

At this point in time, Paul found himself in Athens where he was doing everything within his reach to make Jesus and the way of the cross known. Before then, he had been in Thessalonica as well as Berea where the Jews in those cities raised obstacles to his bearing witness to the truth. They constituted strong resistance that made him leave with Silas, his ministry partner. ‭”But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.” Acts 17:13-15.

On arrival in Athens, Apostle Paul discovered that the town was infested with much idol worship. He then began to shine the light of the gospel truth anywhere he went ; in the synagogue among God fearing Greeks, in the streets and marketplaces. Here a group of Epicurreans and strong Philosophers confronted him to challenge his teaching that was strange to them. They therefore brought him to a place called Areopagus meaning ‘big rock of Ares’, a rocky hilltop where intellectuals and leaders meet to debate important issues and to judge criminal cases as to punish offenders who disrupt public order. There Apostle Paul made them understand that worship belongs to God the creator alone and not any of his creatures as some mistakenly get involved in. He made them understand that God takes it easy when men are in ignorance of his will and purpose in life. But once his will and purpose is known, there is no hiding place for men that intentionally rebel against his order.

As we enter a new year, we must resolve to give God the worship and honour that belongs to him alone, so that we can always enjoy his favour. We must avoid anything that will make any man give the glory that belongs to the creator to any other entity including spirits he created. This year and beyond, we must live with the consciousness that the one who created the entire universe and gave boundaries to everything including great oceans and mighty rivers and all things, seen and unseen has the capacity to meet every need in our lives. Not only that, his desire in this dispensation of grace is that our body should be a place of his habitation. God wants to live in us by his Spirit as to make our lives glorious as we live in the spirit. On a very important note, the memory verse indicates that in this new covenant of grace, we have become offsprings of the almighty having all his characteristics present in us as rock of ages, Isaiah 51:1-3. Moreso, Jesus for our sake became a spiritual territory where we can always dwell in safely, circumstances notwithstanding. That is the reason we shall be kept from all forms of evil report.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for the gift of love to mankind that is found in Jesus Christ your son. Thank you for bringing me into the threshold of faith and grace so that I be one with you and live in your presence forever as to enjoy your favour. Thank you because nothing and no one deserves my worship forever, except you alone in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Genesis 2:15-3:24.
