MEMBER OF HIS BODY

MEMBER OF HIS BODY I Corinthians 12:24-28 Devotional:- “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” (V. 27) NKJV      The Bible refers to us as members of the body of Christ or as part of the body of Christ. This truth brings us to the light of understanding of your importance, as a part of the Church. But more than that is the understanding by the same scripture that you as an individual are a member of Christ's body. The ‘body’ here can therefore be seen in two dimensions. It interprets the church as a single group and a team. It also interprets that each member as being part of the body of Jesus Christ. He is the head and we are the body. We have become members of His body by His Spirit that dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16).

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”

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
