We need to keep asking for forgiveness for the sins that we commit each day - Matt 3:2, Mk 1:15, Rev 3: 3,5,16,19. Do not sit and cry when you fall. Rush to the Lord. Ask for His forgiveness. He will give you grace to fight - 1 Cor 10:13. The Blood of Christ and His Word cleanse us - Rev 1:5, 1 Jn 1:7, Jn 17:17, Ps 119:9. Believe that we are justified through faith - Rom 5:1, Heb 10:38. 2. Communion With God Spend quality and quantity time with God - Heb 4:16, Ps 91:1. Maintain a humble attitude in order to receive His grace - 1 Pet 5:5. Try to wake up early in the morning (which implies that you go to bed early). Freshen up and sit at His Feet. His mercies are new every morning - Lam 3:23. Walk with the Spirit - Gal 5:16. 3. Conforming To His Image Keep reminding yourself that you are crucified with Christ. Always think 'What Would Jesus Do?' (WWJD) - Rom 6:6,7,11,12 The more you yield to the Holy Spirit, the more holier you will become - Rom 8:9, 10, 13-15 4. Consumed By The Burden for Souls The Holy Spirit was given to witness - Acts 1:8 Apostle Paul was burning with passion for souls - Rom 1:15, 1 Cor 9:22 The Samaritan woman shared immediately - Jn 4:39 We can share the Gospel to our friends and relatives. We can involve ourselves in village outreaches and also visit Mission fields. 5. Companionship with God's People Fellowship strengthens us in the Lord - Heb 10:24,25; Acts 4:32,33. A threefold cord is not easily broken - Ecc 4:12. Daniel and his friends were a closely knit small group - Dan 2:17. Some practical suggestions include: 1. Read good Christian books. 2. Have the habit of taking notes in a diary. 3. Be actively involved with a small praying group or start one. 4. Above all, do not forget your personal Bible meditation and prayer time.
