  MERCY Romans 9:14-27 Devotional:- “So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy” (V 16) NKJV It has often been completely impossible for any human to qualify for the things of God. This is the reason why the world looks like a place of struggle for so many people. Even many Old Testament saints couldn’t make it because of their inadequacies. For Example, if anyone had not achieved their goal on earth. I would least expect a man like Moses to be one. But because he could not fully obey the Lord, he and Aaron could not get to the Promised Land. But you and I in the New Testament have come to enjoy the abundance of the mercy of God. In the scripture we read today, Jesus said, He would have mercy on us. We are the one the bible refers to as the chosen generation. We are the people of His mercy. This is an assurance that we, by His grace, will achieve our purpose on earth, for His mercy shall see us through. The trouble in the life of our paren...

LIVING SACRIFICE

Living Sacrifice Title Still | twelve:thirty media | WorshipHouse ...LIVING SACRIFICE 
Romans 12:1-9
Devotional Verse – V. 1

As good as it is for man to prosper, as much as it can be a trap if it is not manage by the wisdom of the Lord. Money have the tendency to replace the place of God in the life of a man (Matthew 6:24). It has the power to make a man think he made by himself and become proud (Daniel 4:28-33). That is why, when a man don’t submit to God before handling wealth, there is a tendency to highly be ungodly with wealth. This is the reason God want us to be a living sacrifice unto Him. 

A sacrifice is an animal that is kelled on the alter as ritual. A living sacrifice is the one that is not kelled by already used as a ritual or a sacrifice it no longer belong to it own will but follow the will of the God. The word of God says you should give yourself to God as a living sacrifice to God. How? The word of God says we have been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20). So we should recon ourselves sacrifice with Jesus on the cross (Romans 6:1-7). So also we are raised with Him but no longer to be what we use to be but now totally belonging to God. We have to put off the old man and put on the new man (Ephesians 4:22-24).

To do this we have to unlearn the custom and culture of this world. We have to be renewed in our mind by studying the way of God through the word of God (Psalms 119:11, Joshua 1:8). Then our way of thinking and acting will be changed to asking for His instruction always (Proverbs 3:5-6). This will always lead us to obey Him in righteousness as a living sacrifice. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be humble to live only onto you

“A LIVING SACRIFICE IS DEAD TO SELF BUT ALIVE ONLY TO GOD”
