MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic: New Life in Christ Jesus
Text: Ezekiel 36:25 – 38
Water
is an emblem signifying cleansing our impure souls from sin as God promised in Ezekiel
36:25. But no water can do more than take away the filth of the flesh. Water
seems in general the sacramental (baptism) sign of the sanctifying influences
of the Holy Ghost in the Old Testament; yet this is always connected with the
atoning blood of Christ as we have in the New Testament.
The
beginning of all true reformation is the inward cleansing of the soul by God's
Spirit. His power alone can change the heart of stone to flesh. When this is
done, men will render willing obedience to all God's statutes and judgments.
This act of cleansing with water is the sign or beginning of new life in Christ
Jesus as we have in the New Testament.
Have
you actually received the sprinkling of this water? If you haven’t received it,
you can hardly live a fruitful Christian life.
In
our bible text, God stated the benefits of having the spiritual cleansing in Ezekiel
36:27 – 33. List them out. The aftermath of these promises is that God will
make His presence and power so manifest in the life of His people, that their
enemies shall be compelled to see and acknowledge that He is with them, as
their Almighty Friend and Helper.
It is
my prayer that God will do something in your life this season that will make
people around you to say it is good to serve God.
Food for Thought: Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
Memory verse: Ezekiel 36:27
Prayer:
Lord God, wash me with the cleansing power in the blood of Jesus that I might
have new life in Christ Jesus, Amen
