January 2022 MESSAGE:
The first mystery of a Christian life has to do with the newness of
everything when a person gives his or her life to Jesus Christ.

In our Bible reading today we saw
that God gives a sinful man the grace to become one of His children. With the
power of God being available to every believer, many new things happen to the
fellow.
One, the believer’s name
automatically changes. For example, the Bible says all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God, and that while the recompense of sin is death, the
gift of God is eternal life for anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord
and Saviour (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23).
The Bible says further, “There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans
8:1).
Another mystery of the Christian
life is the gift of a brand new existence in the Holy Spirit as the flesh and
its evil works are crucified.
A Christian produces the fruit of
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness
and self-control (Galatians 5:19-25).
In a nutshell, when you give your
life to Jesus Christ, your name changes from Sinner to Saint. This is why our
memory verse today concludes that anyone who is in Christ Jesus becomes a new
creature, dead to all his or her old ways.
A Christian life brings an
individual under a new management. Jesus Christ said that we should come to Him
to be taught and become like Him (Matthew
11:28-30).

Christless people find it impossible
to lead a life of obedience, but a Christian finds new abilities which enable
him or her to do all things (Philippians
4:13).
A person who had been far away from
God can now hear Him speak – giving classified information that others do not
have access to (John 10:27).
The mysteries of a Christian life
also include the gift of anew garment. A Christian wears a garment of praise
and not one of murmuring and complaints (Psalm
103:1-5).
The Christian life brings about
divine health (1 Peter 2:24), divine
provisions (Philippians 4:19),
divine peace (John 14:27) and divine
friendship (John 15:14-15).
Beloved, if you are yet to accept
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, do so now so you can also begin to enjoy
the mysteries of the Christian life.
Open Heaven 28 January 2022 PRAYER POINT:
Father, please let me never miss out on any of the mysteries of a Christian
life and use me to bring more souls into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 28 January 2022 HYMN: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3. While life’s dark maze | tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll, Blest Saviour,
then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
