Aroma Of Christ

Posted on June 29, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Gratitude – 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 – Aroma Of Christ – Growing As Disciples

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 (NIV)

Fragrance

What do you smell like? Of all the questions you could have asked me; I would have never predicted that question. Why are you asking me that question? What do you mean by asking me that question? What kind of answer are you looking for from me? I have no idea of how to begin to answer that question. I will help you out by asking you more questions? That would be great. Is there a pleasing aroma to your life? Are others drawn to the kind of life you are living? Is there anything about you that stands out in an attractive way? Are others inquisitive about you, because they see something good and positive and right in you? Now, I am beginning to understand your questions. Let me hear some of your answers. Before I came to know you as my Savior and Lord I am sure that my life did not smell good. How so? My life had a selfish, self-centered, self-reliant, and self-absorbed sinful odor to it. I did not stand out as dramatically different from anyone else in the world. I lived for myself. I sought my own comfort and pleasure. I consumed things and used people. I went where I wanted. I did what I wanted. Everything about my life revolved around me. I was the center of my own universe. There was certainly nothing about my life that was pleasing to you or appealing to others. I’m sad to say that I was not the least bit troubled by the selfish and sinful odor of my life. My life stunk and I did not even know it. That’s not good.

What has changed about you? Everything has changed about me. You have changed me. You are changing me. You are making me to be a completely new and different person. You are changing me from the inside out. My heart and mind and life are different because of you. My thoughts and words and deeds are different because of you. Why is that? You are now my Savior and Lord. You have broken the power of sin over my life. You are now leading me in victory. How so? I love you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. I want to do what is pleasing to you. What is pleasing to me? You want me to love others just as you have loved me. How does your life now smell? I hope and believe that my life is a pleasing aroma to you and an appealing fragrance to others. I can confidently say this only because you are living your life in and through me. You are making me to be a pleasing aroma and appealing fragrance in the world so that others will be drawn to you. That is my prayer. That is my hope. That is what I believe you are doing in and through me as you lead me in your victory. Yes, I have. Yes, I am. Yes, I will.

Lord, before I came to know you as my Savior and Lord my life smelled of evil and carnal worldliness. I lived a selfish and sinful life. Nothing about my life was pleasing to you or appealing to others. Use my life now to spread the fragrance of you everywhere. Amen

Your Heart Will Be

Posted on June 28, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Character – Matthew 6:19-21 – Your Heart Will Be – Growing As Disciples

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)

Store Up

What has your attention? How do you spend your time? How are you using the life you have been given? Are you pursuing all that the world offers? Are you seeking your own comfort and pleasure? Are you living for yourself? Are you living for others? Are you living for me? Those are all good questions. I know that my answers to those questions have changed over time. How so? At one time, I was living for myself. I was seeking my own comfort and pleasure. The world and all that it offered had my complete attention. I was like a kid in a candy store. I wanted it all. Just like having too much of a good thing in a candy store will make you sick, so will living for all the comforts and pleasures of this world. Just like having the latest greatest and greatest toy in the store will never satisfy, nor will the next comfort and pleasure of the world. What the world offers is temporary. It will not satisfy. It will not last. It cannot be taken with you when you leave this world. It is a foolish expenditure of a life to chase after all the candy and toys of this life. These are things that I have learned and am learning as I go through life following you. That’s good.

I want to invest my life. I want my life to be well spent. I’m done trying to store up earthly treasures that will waste away. I want to invest my life in what will count for all eternity. I want to bear fruit for your kingdom. I want to bring glory to your name. I want to be used by you. I want to store up treasures in heaven with you. I want people to great me in heaven and say that they are there because you used me to reach out to them. I want to know that you are using me to bring others to you. I want to be a worker in your harvest. Will you use me? Will you enable me to bear fruit for you? Will you help me to store up treasure in heaven with you? Are these the desires and prayers of your heart? Yes, these are the desires and prayers of my heart. Do you know what I do with desires of your heart? Yes, you both give and grant them. Yes, I do. Yes, I will help you to bear fruit for my kingdom. Yes, I will help you to store up treasures in heaven as you follow and serve me. Lead on, I will follow and serve you. That will be very good.

Lord, I have spent plenty of time, talent and resources trying to store up treasures on the earth. What a wasteful expenditure. Help me now to bear fruit for your kingdom. I will follow you. I will serve you. Use me now to store up treasure in heaven with you. Amen

Lay Down Our Lives

Posted on June 27, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Love – 1 John 3:16-18 – Despises His Neighbor – Growing As Disciples

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:16-18 (NIV)

What Love Is

What is love? What does love look like? How is love demonstrated? When have you seen love fully on display? I can answer those questions. You have made it easy for me to answer those questions. Love looks like you. You are the demonstration of love. I have seen love fully on display through how you lived your life. How so? You came into this world as a man. You emptied yourself of all your rights and privileges. You claimed nothing for yourself. You counted others as better than yourself. You looked not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. You lived your life fully and completely for others. You came into this world as a sacrifice for sin. You laid down your life. You poured yourself out. Why did you do this? You loved your Heavenly Father. You loved those He gave to you to be your followers. You loved all those who would one day come to know and love you through the word of their testimony. I am one of those people. You loved and gave yourself for me. You came into this world to live and die for me. That’s true.

So, you have seen me. You have heard and seen my example. You know what I have done for you. You know that I have lavished you with my love. I have made you to be my very own. You are my child. You are my brother. I am your Savior and Lord. I am your God and King. Yes, you are and for all this I am eternally grateful and thankful. That is very good. What is it that you now want to do? What is the desire of your heart and mind? How do you want to live your life? Will you follow my example? Will you go and do what I did? Yes Lord, I will follow your example. I will love like you loved. I will give like you gave. I will serve like you served. I will go and do the Heavenly Father’s will. With your help, I will accomplish His purposes and fulfill His plans. I will do the good works that have been prepared for me to do. I will lay my life down. I will give myself in service to you and to others that you bring into my life. Help me to love others deeply from my heart with all my thoughts and words and deeds. Use my life to bear fruit for your kingdom. Help me to bring glory to your name. Yes, I will you can be sure of that.

Father, help me to lay down my life in service to you and to others. May I not love in words alone but also in actions that express your sacrificial love to others. Use my life and all that I have to meet the needs of those around me. Amen

Your Faith Is Growing

Posted on June 26, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Gratitude – 1 Thessalonians 2:13 – Your Faith Is Growing – Growing As Disciples

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (NIV)

Received

That is a very important word. What’s that? Received, is a very important word. How so? I will ask you a few questions to help you understand the importance of the word, received. Go ahead, I’m listening. It is very good that you are listening. Here are my questions. How are you receiving my word into your life? How has receiving my word into your life allowed me to use my word to work in your life? How have I used my word to change your heart, transform your mind and guide your life? How are your thoughts, words and deeds different because my word has been working in you? How has the entire course of your life changed because my word has been working in you? What will happen to your life if you do not continue to receive my word into it? You have asked a lot of questions. You can start answering them now.

I will start by answering your first and last questions. That’s great. I am meeting with your word. I have set apart a time and a place to meet every day with you in your word. I am meditating on your word day and night. I am letting your word dwell in me richly. How so? I am reading your word. I am studying your word. I am meditating on and memorizing your word. I am praying your word. I am proclaiming your word to others. I am taking a firm hold of your word so that it takes a firm hold of me. What do you mean by that? Well, in every way possible I am receiving your word into my life and then I am putting it into practice as I love, follow and serve you. That is very good. What would happen if you didn’t receive my word into your life and then put into practice? That was your last question. Yes, it was. Your working in my life will be hindered and short circuited if I don’t receive your word into my life and then put it into practice. That’s true.

What kind of work has my word been doing in you? Your word has been changing my heart, transforming my mind and guiding my life. How so? Your word has broken me free from bondages that once entangled my life. Your word has made me able to stand against evil and resist temptation. Your word has given me new thoughts to think, words to speak and deeds to do. Your word has set me on fire to want to know and do your will. Your word has given me a passion to want to do what is pleasing to you. Your word has changed the entire course of my life. Yes, it has. Keep on receiving my word into your life. Yes Lord, I will. That will be very good.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your word. Daily I am receiving your word into my life. Use your word to do your work in my life. Use your word to change my heart, transform my mind and guide my life. Thank you for molding and shaping me with your word. Amen

The Victory

Posted on June 25, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Gratitude – 1 Corinthians 15:57 – The Victory – Growing As Disciples

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV)

Victory

What does the victory that I have secured for you look like in your daily life? That is quite a thought provoking question. That’s exactly what I want to hear, your thoughts. Everything thing about my life has been changed since you are my Savior and Lord. How so? I no longer fear death. I am looking forward to the day that I will come to live forever in heaven with you. Every day I keep my heart and mind and life focused on you. How are you doing that? I am drawing near to you. I am listening carefully to you. I want to live the life that you have called me to live. I want to go where you guide me. I want to do what you ask of me. It is my pleasure and joy to do what is pleasing to you. That’s good.

Your victory is both here and now and not just there and then. What do you mean by that? You haven’t just given me victory over death and eternal life in the future. That is quite an amazing gift for which I will always be grateful and can never give you enough thanks and praise. But, you have also given me victory over sin and temptation and evil in this life. You have made me able to live my life with and for you now. You have broken the power of sin over my life right now. So, in a sense, my eternal life with you has already begun. Yes, it has. The eternal life I have with you guides the thoughts of my mind, words of my mouth and deeds of my life as I love, follow and serve you. That is very good.

I have also realized something about time. What’s that? I do and don’t have forever. Explain that. I have come to understand that my time on this earth is very brief. I am like a visitor passing through this short life. I have a very limited time in which I can bear fruit for your kingdom and bring glory to your name. You have given me this life to live. You have purposes and plans for me to accomplish. You have work for me to do for you. Yes, I do. My life should have some urgency about it. So, I am asking you to help me to number my days. By that, I mean I want to know how to best use all the gifts, talents, abilities and resources you have given to me. I want to be steadfast and immovable in the work that you have given me to do for you. One day, from eternity, I want to be able to look back with you over my life and know that it was well used in your service. That will be very good.

Lord, thank you for securing victory over sin and death for me. I know my eternal future in heaven with you is being kept and guarded by your power. Help me to live each day with my heart and mind and life focused on you and the life you have given me to live. Amen

Forget Not All His Benefits

Posted on June 23, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Gratitude – Psalm 103:1-5 – Forget Not All His Benefits- Growing As Disciples

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits– who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5 (NIV)

Remember

This is more than a little troubling. This is where I dramatically fall short. Here is miss the mark by a wide margin. How so? I seldom take time to remember all that you have done for me. I don’t often stop to consider how you have so richly blessed my life. Why is that a problem? I know that ungratefulness is a sin. I know that failing to give you thanks and praise is not pleasing to you. I suspect that being ungrateful and unthankful is rooted in pride. How so? If I think that I have worked hard and earned something by my own efforts, why would I bother to give you thanks for receiving it? If I have come to expect good things to come to me because you owe me something, why would I bother to give thanks to you for what I deserved? If I am self-absorbed and in a flurry of self-centered activity, why would I ever find time to give you thanks and praise? None of these thoughts are true. Why not? Every good gift comes from you. I could start listing your good gifts to me and never stop. You have richly blessed my life. I have nothing that has not come from you. I am nothing that has not come from you. I will accomplish nothing that has not come from you. All that I am and all that I hope to be has come to me as a gift from you. Like what? For starters, you created me. You gave me life. You gave me a desire to love and follow and serve you. But, I screwed that up. I wandered away from you. I lived my life as if I didn’t want or need you. I walked on a path that led away from you. I led a bruised and battered and broken life. But, you redeemed me. You forgave my sins and cleansed my unrighteousness. You healed my bruised and battered and broken life. You pulled me from out a pit. You set my feet on solid ground. You rescued me from a life without you. You showed me your compassion. You showered me with your love. You restored me into a new relationship with you. You renewed me. You refreshed me. You revived me. You set my life on a new course of loving, following and serving you. Now, there is no place I would rather be than in your presence. Now, there is nothing I would rather do than serve you. That is very good.

What else do you want to do? I want to make it my regular pattern to stop to remember all that you have done for me. I want to regularly give you all my thanks and praise for all that you have done, are doing and will do for me. That will be very good.

Heavenly Father, I will never forget all you have done for me. You have forgiven my sins and redeemed my life. You have renewed me and healed my diseases. You have crowned me with love and compassion. You have generously satisfied me with good things. Amen

My Disciple

Posted on June 22, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Be – Matthew 9:9 – My Disciple – Growing As Disciples

As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him. Matthew 9:9 (NLT)

Your Journey

Do you want to be my disciple? Yes, I want to be your disciple. What must I do since I want to be your disciple? That is a very good question. I have a very simple answer for you. If you want to be my disciple, you will follow me. Follow you, where will I follow you? You will follow me to wherever I lead. Will I know in advance where we are going? No, you will not. That will be a challenge. Why is that? I like to know where I am going. I like having a road map. I like to know my destination before I start my journey. You will have all those desires fulfilled as you follow me. How so? You are going to wherever I lead you. I will be your guide. I will be your road map. Your destination will be sure and certain. What is my destination? Your journey of following me will end in heaven. Heaven is your destination. Heaven is where you will come to live forever with me. That will be fantastic. You have no idea. It will be far better than you could possibly ever begin to think or imagine. I will be looking forward to that day. Yes, you will and that will be very good.

Being my disciple will require more than just following me. What else will being your disciple require of me? In addition to following me, you must also do what I ask of you. What will you ask of me? I will ask you to do thousands of things as you follow me. Some things, I will ask of you will be simple and easy to do. Other things, that I ask of you will be complicated and difficult to do. There will even be times when I will ask you to do what is impossible. Why would you do that? I want you to learn to trust me. I want you to place all your faith in me. I want you to come to rely on me rather than on yourself. I want you to live in a moment by moment intimate relationship with me. I want you to know that I am working in and through your life. I want you to know that I am allowing you to bear fruit for my kingdom and bring glory to my name. Will you do whatever I ask of you? Will you allow me to work in and through your life? Yes Lord, I will. You will be my follower. You will be my disciple. You will be my witness in the world. I am looking forward to my journey of following and serving you. That will be very good.

Lord, I will leave everything to be your follower. There is nothing from my old life I desire more than you. I will go wherever you guide me. I will do whatever you ask of me. Change my life and make me to be your disciple as I follow you every day of my life. Amen

Sure

Posted on June 21, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Be – James 1:5-8 – Sure – Growing As Disciples

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:5-8 (NLT)

Just Ask

If I need wisdom? Is that a joke or a trick question? Why do you say that? There is no “if” about it. I desperately need wisdom. I don’t need just a little bit of wisdom here and there. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t need wisdom. What has convinced you of that fact? I have made so many mistakes. I have taken so many missteps. I have gone left when I should have gone right. I have stayed put when I should have moved forward. I have started when I should have stopped. Life and all it difficulties and trails has shown me one thing. What’s that? I desperately need wisdom. I don’t need the best wisdom that the world offers either. What’s wrong with worldly wisdom? I have more than enough worldly wisdom. My abundance of so called worldly wisdom is what has led to my many mistakes and missteps. Worldly wisdom stands in direct opposition to you. Worldly wisdom is sinful, self-centered, and self-sufficient. Worldly wisdom has led me to think that I can rely on myself. Worldly wisdom has convinced me that I don’t need to come to you to ask you for your wisdom. That is a terrible mistake. Yes, I know that now. At least you have learned that you need my wisdom. Yes, I have no doubts about that. That’s good.

So, I’m going to live my life differently. How so? I am not going to rely on myself. I am not going to proudly think that I have all the wisdom that I need. I am going to confess and admit that I desperately need your wisdom. That is a good start. I’m not stopping there. Tell me more. I am going to come to you every day to ask you for your wisdom. Some days I’m even going to ask you to show me what kind of wisdom I need. What do you mean by that? There will be days, I’m sure, when I won’t even know how to pray for wisdom. I will need your wisdom to even know how to pray. Yes, you will. I will guide your prayers. I believe that you will guide my prayers. What else do you believe? I believe that you will hear and answer my prayers. I believe that you will generously give me all the wisdom I will need when I come and ask you for it. Yes, I will. You can be sure of that. Thank you so much for hearing and answering my prayers for wisdom.

Lord, the difficulties and trials of life have clearly shown to me that I lack wisdom. I cannot rely on myself. I desperately need your help. I do believe that you will hear and answer my prayer. I do believe that you will generously give me all the wisdom I need. Amen

Given

Posted on June 20, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Be – Matthew 13:11-12 – Given – Growing As Disciples

He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. Matthew 13:11-12 (NLT)

Listening

Do you want to grow in your understanding of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven? Do you want to have an abundance of knowledge? Do you want to be someone who has or has not received what I want to teach them? Yes, I want to know all that I can about the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. Yes, I want to have an abundance of knowledge. I want to receive all that you want to teach me. How can I receive all that you want to teach me? How can I learn of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven? How can I have an abundance of knowledge that you want to teach me? Those are good questions.

You have made the right assumption. What assumption? I do want you to know the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. I do want you to have an abundance of knowledge. I do want you to receive everything I want to teach you. That’s good. That’s exciting. Something depends on me, doesn’t it? Yes, something does depend on you. What depends on me? How badly do you want to know the secrets of the kingdom? How desperately do you want to receive an abundance of knowledge from me? How determined are you to receive all that I want to teach you? I’m not sure how to answer that question. I desperately want to know the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is my passionate desire to receive an abundance of knowledge from you. I persistently want to receive all that you want to teach me. That is very good. I am glad that you are uncertain how to answer my questions. You have given good answers to my questions with your words. But, that is not how I want you to answer my questions. How do you want me to answer your questions? I want you to answer my questions with your actions. What action of mine, will answer your questions? That is a very good question. Sitting down, and listening to me, will answer every one of my questions. If you are persistently willing to come and sit down to listen to my teaching then I will know that you really want to receive all that I want to teach you. Will you set aside a special time and sacred place to meet with me? Yes Lord, I will. Then you will receive all that I want to teach you. You will receive an abundance of knowledge from me. You will understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Lord, here I am. I have set aside this special time. I am sitting down in this sacred place. I’m making myself fully available to you. I will attentively listen to everything you want to teach me. Open my ears. Help me to grow in understanding as I listen to you. Amen

She Said To Herself

Posted on June 18, 2018 by growingasadisciple

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – The Mind – Matthew 9:20-22 – She Said To Herself – Growing As Disciples

Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment. Matthew 9:20-22 (NIV)

What Are You Thinking?

What are you thinking? What are you telling yourself? I’m not sure what you mean. What am I thinking about what? What am I telling myself about what? Are you telling yourself that you can live life under your own power and strength? Are you thinking that you don’t want or need my help? I am certainly not thinking or telling myself those thoughts. I need all the help I can get. I need all the power and strength and help and healing that you will give to me. I don’t have all I need. I am not all I need. I desperately need you. Really, I would not have guessed that by your actions. Not that I need to guess about anything. I know you desperately need my help. It just surprises me that you don’t ask for my help and healing very often. I don’t? No, you don’t.

So, let’s go back to my questions. Ask them again. What are you thinking? What are you telling yourself? Do you think I may too busy to hear and answer your prayers? Do you not want to trouble me? Do you think that your small prayers are too small for me to consider? Do you think that your large prayers are too big for me to grant? No, I know you are not too busy to hear and answer my prayers. No, I know that both my small and large prayers are ones that you are ready and willing and able to hear and answer. There is no prayer that is too small or too large to bring to you. I know that I can never bother you by asking for something from you. You delight to meet with me in prayer. That’s right. It is your joy to hear and answer my prayers. That’s true. You are my God and Father. You know how to give good gifts to me. Yes, I do.

Is there something that you would like to do differently? Yes, there is something I would like to do differently. What’s that? With a heart filled with faith, I will bring all my prayers to you. There will be no prayer that is too small or too large to pray to you. That’s right. I will come to you to ask for all your help and healing. That will be very good.
