Addressing to Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, Jesus said:
* »In all truth I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above. »*(John 3:3)

But what does it mean to be born again?
*It is to be born through water and the Spirit. »*(John 3:5)
This means that *being born through water* by baptism is not enough to merit seeing the kingdom of God. It is also absolutely necessary *to be born through the Spirit*, that is meaning to accept to be transformed by the Holy Spirit.
This transformation brought by the Holy Spirit causes man to change his life.
Therefore, a man is not justified in claiming to be born again as long as he has not yet changed his life, thoughts, behaviors and manners.

PRAYER:
Lord our God help us to change completely.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.

S’adressant à Nicodème, un chef des Juifs, Jésus a dit:
* »En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, si un homme ne naît de nouveau, il ne peut voir le royaume de Dieu. »*(Jean 3:3)

Mais, que signifie naître de nouveau?
*C’est naître d’eau et d’Esprit. »*(Jean 3:5)
Cela signifie que *naître d’eau* par le baptême ne suffit pas pour mériter de voir le royaume de Dieu. Il faut absolument aussi *naître d’Esprit*, c’est-à-dire accepter d’être transformé par l’Esprit saint.
Cette transformation operée par l’Esprit saint fait que l’homme change de vie.
C’est pourquoi, l’homme n’a pas raison de prétendre être né de nouveau aussi longtemps qu’il n’a pas encore changé de vie, de pensées, de comportements et de manières.

PRIÈRE:
Seigneur notre Dieu donnez-nous de changer tout entier .
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jesus-Christ que nous prions.
Amen.

The prophet Isaiah hears, in a vision, a voice which announces the nearness of salvation. This unknown voice obviously comes from the sky.
It says:

* »In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. »*(Isaiah 40:3)

The desert of which the prophet speaks here is not that of Syria that the Jews had to cross to return from Babylonia, because there are neither mountains nor precipices(verse 4) in this desert of Syria.
The desert of which he speaks is rather that of our hearts which often oppose the revelation and manifestation of God in our lives.
*To prepare the way in the desert of our hearts, it is thus to lower there these mountains of lack of faith and these hills of lack of confidence in God and to change the rough ground of persistent sins into plains of firmness*, to let God appear In our lifes.

PRAYER:
Lord our God, help us to open the way to You to let You manifest in our lives.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.

Le prophète Ésaïe entend, en vision, une voix qui annonce la proximité du salut. Cette voix inconnue vient évidemment du ciel.
Elle dit:

* »Dans le désert, ouvrez un chemin pour le SEIGNEUR. Dans ce lieu sec, faites une bonne route pour notre Dieu. »*(Ésaïe 40:3)

Le désert dont parle le prophète ici n’est pas celui de Syrie que les Juifs devaient traverser pour revenir de Babylonie, car, il n’y a ni montagnes, ni précipices (verset 4) dans ce désert de Syrie.
Le désert dont il parle est plutôt celui de nos coeurs qui s’opposent souvent à la révélation et à la manifestation de Dieu dans nos vies.
*Ouvrir le chemin dans le désert de nos coeurs, c’est donc y abaisser ces montagnes de manque de foi, ces collines de manque de confiance en Dieu et changer ces coteaux de péchés persistants en plaines de fermeté*, pour laisser Dieu se manifester dans nos vies.

PRIÈRE:
Seigneur notre Dieu, aidez-nous à Vous ouvrir le chemin pour Vous laisser Vous manifester dans nos vies.
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jésus-Christ que nous prions.
Amen.

Did you know that not all gifts are necessarily pleasing to God?
The gifts that please God are only those that are given willingly:
* »Each one should give as much as he has decided on his own initiative, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. »*(2 Corinthians 9:7)

These are the gifts that are not pleasing to God:
1.*Gifts that are made for selfish reasons*, such as:
– To impress others (Matthew 6:2).
– To receive something in return (Luke 14:12-14).
2.*Gifts that encourage activities or behaviors that God condemns*, such as:
-Financing terrorism and other criminal activities
-Giving money to those who buy drugs, and so on. (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10; 2 Corinthians 7:1).
3.*Gifts that keep us from fulfilling the responsibilities God has given us.*
The Bible teaches that a head of the family must provide for his family (1Timothy 5:8). It wouldn’t be right if he gave a lot to others and then didn’t have enough for his own family.

PRAYER:
Lord our God, help us to avoid gifts which do not please You.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
