Daily Devotion:
“He Must Increase But We Must Decrease…”
Bible Verse: John 3:30
New International Version
30 He must become greater; I must become less.”
In the spiritual world, there is a law known as the “Law of Exchange,” which establishes that when we give Him more of ourselves, He gives us more of Himself.
John the Baptist would say, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). This should be our desire, because the supernatural transformation in a believer is based on an exchange of lives. Our “self” and our will must decrease so that Jesus can grow in us. We must end sin and stop pleasing the desires of the flesh. If we obey God, deny ourselves and take up our cross every day, we will receive the life of Christ. However, if we keep giving in to the desires of the flesh, we are on a course heading to eternal death.
What can we do? Walk in the Spirit: that will empower us to do the will of God. When we walk in the Spirit, we live free of condemnation (Romans 8:1).
Today, we surrender our ego so that God may pour His spirit over us. One thing Is proven: the more of ourselves give to God, the more we have Him.
