MFM Daily Devotional 12 January 2022 MESSAGE
What should you do to have Christ in your vessel? Today, we will turn our attention to finding answers to this question. First, you should give your life to Christ and make Him
your Lord and Saviour. The moment you do this genuinely, the Spirit of Christ will come
to indwell you and you will begin to enjoy all the privileges of new birth, including having
Christ as the Captain of your life’s vessel.
Secondly, you should live a life of absolute holiness and purity. The Lord and His Spirit
are completely holy. They will not dwell in an unholy vessel. Therefore, for Christ to be
the Captain of your vessel and journey with you, you need to hate sin with perfect hatred. Your thoughts, words and actions should conform to God’s word and be pure.
Thirdly, you should live in obedience and be a doer of the word of God. Those who live in
constant disobedience and wilful sin cannot have the presence of our holy God. If you
want Jesus as the Captain of your vessel this year and beyond, you should study the
word of God daily and live by it. God blesses the doer of His word. Living a life of obedience will enable you to enjoy His presence all the time.
In addition, you should ensure that you grow in your relationship with God daily. The
assurance of having the Lord as the Captain of your vessel is tied to your intimacy with
Him. Are you intimate with the Lord? What are you doing to improve your relationship
with Him this year?
Furthermore, you can have Christ in your vessel by being a prayer addict. Prayer is a two-way communication between you and God. It is the greatest power and privilege
that heaven has conferred on the believer to bring God’s presence to bear in human
affairs and effect desired change to the gloy of God. The Bible enjoins that we pray without ceasing and assures that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person
releases tremendous power, grace and miracles, etc.
Finally, you should serve God with your gifts and talents. When you consistently serve
God with your gifts and talents, He will be the Captain of your life and take you to your
desired haven, in Jesus’ name.
