A New Culture
Outward purity would reflect inward purity
Israel was on the verge of a momentous occasion. Not only were they preparing to enter the Promised Land and conquer its inhabitants, they were also preparing to establish a brand new culture. The primary focus of this new culture would be on the living God. Every part of it would reflect His nature.
God's commandments gave the Israelites a concrete expression of how God wanted the people to live in. In short, He wanted a people that love and worshiped Him alone. By keeping a number of purity laws, the Israelites were to demonstrate their commitment to Him by keeping ritually clean. Ideally, this outward purity would reflect inward purity. Since God was perfect, He wanted His people to resist the immoral practises of the neighbouring nations. But He not only wanted them to resist evil, He also wanted them toe reflect His loving and compassionate nature by helping strangers, widows, orphans, and the poor. By following God's extensive instructions, the Israelites could establish their society on the just laws of the living God.
Many parts of the Israelites culture were distinctive in the ancient world - such as prohibitions against eating pork. These outward distinctive were a sign that Israelites were set apart to God's holy purposes. However, the most prominent distinctive was Israel's absolute allegiance to one God. Israel's entire society - its legal system, economic structure, family life and individual and communal ethics - reflected this allegiance. While the nations that surrounded Israel worshiped a variety of gods at numerous shrines located all over the landscape, the Israelites [ideally] worshiped one God in one place - the place He would choose.
In the Promised Land, God planned to bless the Israelites abundantly. In return, the Israelites were required to understand and acknowledge that He who created the heavens and the earth, alone is God Almighty. And God expected them to live responsibly in obedience and loyalty to Him alone, based upon love and fear, to walk in all His ways and to serve Him with all diligence.
This was to be their new culture, unlike any that preceded it.

Walk With Faith In Christ
As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught abounding in it with thanksgiving. - Colossians 2:6-7
How far have you progressed in knowing the Lord since your first experience of salvation? How much more sensitive are you to the Holy Spirit since you desired to walk anew in the spirit of crucifying the flesh?
The flesh does not desire the things of the spirit and hence you must willingly cultivate and focus yourself to look into the Word of God and have the deepest part of you constantly connected to Him. It is so easy to walk by sight, to be drawn away from your walk with the Lord, to be distracted by the lust of the flesh, and be subtly influenced to change the sides from walking in the light to darkness if you do not constantly seek the Lord and come to Him with every issue in your life.
David knew what it was to be drawn from the Lord by the desires of the flesh. Psalm 51, which he wrote following his falling away, is filled with sorrow fro sin and deep regret. It is clearly marked by his turning to the Lord with his whole heart. And He also instructed his son in the ways of God, "And you, Solomon, my son, know the God of your father [have personal knowledge of Him] and serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts and mind and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts. If you seek Him [inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him as your first and vital necessity] you will find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever! (1 Chronicles 28:9). Solomon, the wisest man on earth did not make inquiring of the Lord the first and vital necessity of his life. As a result, he was drawn away to follow other gods worshipped by his foreign wives. Solomon died with his heart turned away from God.
Do not depend on the arm of the flesh. Do not depend on your will-power or strength to keep you in the ways of the Lord. Constantly look unto Him and bring every issue in your life under the light of the Lord so that you will not be drawn away in a moment of weakness, or by the strange and subtle influences of the enemy and loose your precious salvation.
- Daniel O.C

Walk As Jesus Walked
But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk just as He walked. - 1 John 2:5-6
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" is a common question we ask our children when they are young. Many of your own aspirations may have changed or remained unfulfilled. For a Christian there is one goal to live up to daily. That is to be like Jesus: to conform your behaviour, deeds, words and your whole life to what the Lord had been teaching and practicing. You may be an authority on theological doctrines, know the Bible from cover to cover and participate in many seminars and spiritual meetings, yet if your life is not transformed to imitate the life of our Lord Jesus Christ, all will be in vain.
"The Holy Spirit wants to produce Christ-like individuals - not religious robots, not doctrinal champions, not evangelistic whirlwinds, but men who are like Jesus Christ," concludes George Verwer in his search for the heart of the New Testament message. Many non-Christians do not want to turn to the Lord because they see the life of Christians around them and are totally put off. What about you? Can those around you testify to the Christ-like nature in you? Or is there a world of difference to what you are and what you profess to be?
Paul was an imitator of Christ. In 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6, Paul said, "You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your good. And you (set yourselves to) become imitators of us and (through us) of the Lord Himself ..."
Will you renew your relationship with the Lord today and determine to transform yourself to be Christ-like? As you imitate the Lord Jesus, let your life influence the lives of others around you, so they too will be drawn to Him.
- Daniel O.C

A New Year, A New Beginning
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1
The old year is past. A new year is beginning with new challenges. It is a year to rise up from sleep, slothfulness and slumber. It is a year to be motivated to do better than you have done before depending on the grace of God for it.
It is a year of healing and restoration in broken relationships, broken marriages, and broken homes. When life has lost its meaning, it is a time to see that it is God, reading His Word, heeding His voice and standing in the gap for intercession. This is a year of submission to the Holy Spirit. Let Him search your heart to break stubborn pride of self. Yield yourself completely to His control. Heed His voice and be used as a vessel for God's glory.
Declare this out loud:
This is a year of victory for me over all my weakness, over bad habits, uncontrollable sinful desire, laziness, wicked imaginations, unholy living, pride, strife, disobedience to God, following after vain unprofitable ambitions and aimless living without purpose. I will stand firm by my God I shall do valiantly. In His name I shall have victory. I shall rise in faith and soar to higher ground from where I once stood. I will believe for the impossible through my Lord in the mighty name of Jesus. When I go through trying situations, I will stand firm knowing that the Lord is with me and that He will not forsake me. I will not be a afraid for Jehovah is the one who holds me in His hands. I will not accept defeat, failure or loses, for victory and success are mine through Jesus Christ.
When I pass through the waters, I shall remember that the Lord is with me. When I cross the rivers, they shall not overflow me. When I walk through the fire, I shall not be burnt and neither shall the flame kindle upon me, for the Lord God the Holy One of Israel is my Saviour.
My house and I choose this day to fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth. I choose to obey the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth. I choose to obey the Lord and His Word, live by his commandments and walk in His will. I choose the things of God, wisdom and understanding that come from above. I pursue righteousness, faith, love, patience and meekness. I keep myself ready until the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ which is very near. In Jesus' name, Amen.
When life has lost its meaning, it is a time to see that it is
God's love that brings true meaning, purpose and answers.
- Daniel O.C
