Kingdom conduct 2

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:”    Ephesians 5:8(KJV)
     
The Bible tells us in our opening scripture today to walk as children of light. Live your life conscious of this truth and let it guide you in the way you live your life and in the decisions you make. Ephesians 5:9-11 tells us more, “(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

As citizens of the kingdom there is a way we ought to behave ourselves. This is because there are ways you will conduct yourself that will hinder your effectiveness as a Christian. The Bible says to us in 1Corinthians 6:9-11(GNB), “Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves---none of these will possess God's Kingdom. Some of you were like that. But you have been purified from sin; you have been dedicated to God; you have been put right with God by the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

Child of God, you do not need to struggle to practice kingdom conduct, all you need to do is to fill your mind with your true identity and 1 Corinthians 6:11(GNB) shows you that, “…you have been purified from sin; you have been dedicated to God; you have been put right with God by the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” That should be your consciousness in your daily walk.

PRAYER
Dear Father I receive grace today to continually practice kingdom conduct. I thank you Father for I am empowered by your Spirit to express Your virtues and divine excellence in my daily walk in Jesus Name. Amen.
