 A LIVING SACRIFICE 

MEMORY VERSE: - Romans 12:1 - “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship.”

 What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? 

Sacrifice is defined as “anything consecrated and offered to God.” Oftentimes, we offer sacrifices of prayer, fasting, praise, worship, thanksgiving and gifts of all kinds unto God which is good; but most only offer such things without offering themselves.

It's important we understand that one who offers the gifts must first of all offer himself or herself before he or she can offer a worthy offering to God. The father is more interested in you than in the things you offer, therefore you must make yourself ready for a worthy offering.

 You can't offer God an offering with blemishes or defiled. Know that God must first accept the giver before He can accept the gifts. Thus we are admonished to offer our body a living sacrifice to God. 

As living epistles of God; our body is the home where God dwells as He does not dwell in temples made with hands (Acts 7:48). The body belongs to Him; as such, we must keep it away from anything that contaminate.


 PRAYER

Father in heaven, I thank you for giving me the privilege for my body to be a home for you. This day, I ask that you have your way and take your place in me in Jesus’ name, Amen

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED MEMORY VERSE: - Philippians 1:6 - “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” God doesn't do anything halfway, whatever he starts, he brings it into a perfect end. They maybe distractions in the process, they maybe some forces contending with you to stop you from getting to the finishing point but they can't stop you because they cannot stop He who is involved in the affairs of your life.  Therefore, no matter what the enemy throws your way, have faith in God, refuse to be distracted, refuse to be frustrated by anyone but stay focused: for the Lord God in the midst of your life is mighty and greater than all. Who can contend with Him, who can withstand His great power. He promised you that he is with you always. “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20). And furthermore, in Hebrews 13:5 He said, "I will not leave you

AVOID DIVERSIONS

AVOID DIVERSIONS MEMORY VERSE: - Jonah 1:3 - "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish” (NLT) One of the ways the devil is using to rub many people of their blessing is through diversions. The Lord gave a message to Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and announce his judgment against it because of their wickedness but Jonah chose not to go, instead he went another way and his own way the scripture says was the "Opposite Direction." Oftentimes, people choose to go the opposite direction against God's original agenda for them when things are not going as planned. When vision is being delayed and when they are hit with challenges and difficulties in the process of trying to achieve what they were given to do. In the opposite direction is confusion.... In the opposi

NOW IS YOUR MOMENT

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   NOW IS YOUR MOMENT MEMORY VERSE: - John 11:21-24, "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day"   A lot of people pray but do not believe they can have the answer to their request immediately. Their faith is always in the future. The mindset of future has kept them from embracing that which is theirs at the moment. Thus, they neglect the place of faith in the now of today’s experience. While Martha could only think of the future as the only time her brother could rise again from the dead, Jesus was seeing it happening in the moment. Beloved, it's time to wake up and begin to walk in the 'now' faith. What is now? It means at the present time or moment. it is right
