Weekly Creative Devotional

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, as we embark on this journey through Your Word, illuminate our hearts and minds to grasp the profound truths hidden within. Grant us the wisdom to discern Your unseen works and trust in Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

REFLECTION

Reflect on the transformative power of God’s mercy and grace as described in Titus 3:5. Contemplate how God’s unseen works of regeneration and renewal through the Holy Spirit bring about spiritual transformation in our lives. How can we cultivate a deeper trust in God’s unseen workings and rely on His grace for salvation and sanctification?  

MEMORIZING THE VERSE

Commit Titus 3:5 to memory, allowing its truth to dwell richly in your heart and mind.

 

CREATING AND MEDITATING

Choose a creative activity: Option 1: Create an art piece that symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. As you engage in this creative process, reflect on the various ways the Holy Spirit has influenced and guided you. After completing your artwork, take some time to write a short reflection on how the Holy Spirit’s presence is manifested in your life and the impact it has on your faith journey. Option 2: Engage in meditative prayer, allowing God’s Spirit to bring about inner renewal and transformation as you surrender to His unseen workings.  

TAKING ACTION AND APPLYING

Reflect on areas of your life where you may have been striving to earn God’s favor through your own efforts. Surrender those areas to God’s mercy and grace, trusting in His unseen workings to bring about true transformation and renewal.  

Hymn

 

Sanctification

1 The Holy Ghost in Scripture saith Expressly, in one part, Speaking by Peter’s mouth, “By faith God purifies the heart.”

2 Now, what in holy writ he says, In part or through the whole, The self-same truths, by various ways, He teaches in the soul.

3 Experience likewise tells us this; Before the Saviour’s blood Has washed us clean, and made our peace, We can do nothing good.

4 [But here, my friends, the danger lies; Errors of different kind Will still creep in, which devils devise To cheat the human mind.

5 “I want no work within,” says one; “’Tis all in Christ the Head;” Thus, careless, he goes blindly on, And trusts a faith that’s dead.

6 “’Tis dangerous,” another cries, “To trust to faith alone; Christ’s righteousness will not suffice Except I add my own.”

7 Thus he, that he may something do, To shun the impending curse, Upon the old will patch the new, And make the rent still worse.

8 Others affirm, “The Spirit of God To true believers given, Makes all their thoughts and acts so good, They’re always fit for heaven.”

9 The babe of Christ, at hearing this, Is filled with anxious fear; Conscience condemns, corruptions rise, And drive him near despair.

10 These trials weaklings suffer here; Censure and scorn without; And from within, what’s worse to bear, Despondency and doubt.

11 But, gracious Lord, who once didst feel What weakness is and fears, Who gott’st thy victory over hell With groans, and cries, and tears;

12 Do thou direct our feeble hearts To trust thee for the whole; The work of grace in all its parts Accomplish in the soul.

13 Thy Holy Spirit into us breathe; A perfect Saviour prove; Lord, give us faith, and let that faith Work all thy will by love.]

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

We are a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian Ministry trained and equipped at the Christian Leaders Institute. Even though our Ministry is based on God's Word, the Bible, you need to approach our teachings like the Bereans and always study the Bible yourself to see if what we teach is aligned with what is written in the Bible.  

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV  

We are only humans who 'stumble in many ways' (James 3:2) and we only 'know in part and we prophesy in part' (1 Corinthians 13:9).
