Message
Priscillia was a born again Christian, she was known in her school for diligence and dedication to her studies. She is also kind to all and always ready to forgive anyone that hurts her. She was a perfect example of one who is zealous of good works. What does it mean to be zealous of good works? It means to consciously be in the service of the Lord, to offer yourself to work for God and do His will, it also means to be committed to living an exemplary Christian life.

If you desire to be zealous, you must first identify with Christ who forgives all sins. Repent and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. Then surrender your desire, talent and will to Him. Be involved in God’s service like preaching the gospel, visiting new friends of Jesus, attending fellowship and doing other good works.
Further Reading: Ephesians 2:
Prayer for today: Lord I am ready for your service, use me for Your own glory.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
