DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

EMULATE HIM!

*PASTOR CHRIS*
WED,AUGUST 6TH,2014.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as
dear children (Ephesians 5:1).

The word “followers” is translated from
the Greek “mimetes” which means
“imitators.” It's suggestive of following
someone as a pattern, model or an
example. It’s akin to going after
somebody, following how he does what
he does. So, in actual context, it can be
rendered, “Be ye therefore imitators of
God.” It means copy Him, act and talk
like Him, because you’re like Him.
Someone might ask, “Isn’t that going
too far, to say we're like God?”
Well, we didn’t even know it until God
told us so in His Word, through the
Apostle John: “Here in is our love
made perfect, that we may have
boldness in the day of judgment:
because as he is, so are we in this
world” (1 John 4:17). You’re not
inferior to God, neither are you His
counterfeit; just like Jesus, you're the
express image of His Person; the Word
says as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this
world. We’re like Him now.
This consciousness would give you the
audacity to heal the sick, raise the
dead, cleanse the lepers, and be a
blessing to the world, just like Jesus!
It'll inspire extraordinary compassion
in you to preach the Gospel, and win
the lost the same way He did.
Consider the account in Luke 7:12-15.
The Bible tells us how the Master was
moved by a widow’s cry, whose only
son had died and was being carried for
burial. The Lord, full of love and
compassion, raised the young man
back to life.
Like the Master, you must back
compassion with action. Express the
love of God to others. Romans 5:5
says, “…the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which
is given unto us.” Walk in love, as
Christ also has loved you.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, I extol your majesty for
making me an expression of divine
personality. As Jesus is now, so am I in
this world. Therefore, at every
opportunity, I express the character of
Christ; His love and impeccable nature
of righteousness in me, to the world, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
1 Peter 2:21-23(CEV) After all, God
chose you to suffer as you follow in the
footsteps of Christ, who set an
example by suffering for you.22 Christ
did not sin or ever tell a lie.23
Although he was abused,he never tried
to get even.And when he suffered,he
made no threats.Instead, he had faith
in God,who judges fairly.
