PUT ON THE NEW MAN

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)


DATE: MONDAY, 27TH JUNE, 2022 


TOPIC: PUT ON THE NEW MAN


TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:23-27 


23.  and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24.  and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

25.  Therefore, putting away lying, ["Let] each one [of you] speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.

26.  "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

27.  nor give place to the devil.


MESSAGE: 

The instruction to put off the old man was stressed in our reading last Saturday. Today, another instruction to put on the new man is given to believers. If there is a “putting off”, then there must be a “putting on” for life abhors a vacuum. What then shall we put on? It is the new man created in God’s likeness of righteousness and holiness. In putting on the new man, we must do the following: 


1. Stop lying and speak the truth to one another. It is very clear that lying destroys trust and breaks down relationships (v.25) 


2. Control our anger by dealing with it immediately. It should not be bottled up to degenerate into bitterness. 


Offences must come among Christians but we should handle them promptly (v. 26); 


3. Refuse to give the devil any opportunity to operate. His mission remains to steal, kill and destroy (v.27).The characteristics of the new man are obvious: Love, goodness, kindness, gentleness, self-control, faithfulness, etc., and cannot be hidden. These days, we see people who profess Christ but express the old man. This is unfortunate and an error. Let people around you see the new man you are putting on and glorify God.


PRAYER: 

O! Lord, create a yearning in me to always put on the new man for Your glory so that I can profess and express Christ to others. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
