Bible Reading : Romans 12:1-2 GNB. Key Verse :v1.

So then, my brothers and sisters, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God — what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

Here in this chapter of the book of Romans we can observe various instructions that will help our lives as children of God. In the first place, we must see grace as a very serious investment of God in our lives. This investment is rooted on the sacrifice of the cross which Jesus Christ made for our redemption. We on our own part can service grace or get the best of it by sacrifice too. The first and most important sacrifice that grace demands from an individual is his life, body or entire being. Jesus died for our sins, so that we in return can live for his glory alone. ““My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine! “So that is why I don’t view God’s grace as something minor or peripheral. For if keeping the law could release God’s righteousness to us, the Anointed One would have died for nothing.”” Galatians 2:20-21 TPT.

At this point, we become dedicated entities, objects of worship or instruments always available on God’s altar of service or presence anytime he has need to use us for his kingdom purposes. This makes our lives ooze out divine aroma that pleases God just like the burnt offerings of old. This can only be possible when we don’t take after the cultures or standards of the world who hate God and his ways most of the time. At this point we have to search the scriptures daily as to discover the values of the kingdom we belong to as to live by them, so that we can please God Almighty. “God’s Generous Grace Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. As a result of this, he has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises you can experience partnership with the divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.” 2 Peter 1:3-4 TPT.

In everything, we have to be mindful of how we deal with each other as God’s inheritance. We should have no place for a self centered lifestyle. Rather, our lives has to be such that seek the well being of other people as equally important. Just like Christ who we now bear his nature, divine pursuits and agenda has to be of great importance to the life we live. At this point, we allow God to fight our battles when our lives are surrendered to him. “Be happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep. Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody. Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God’s anger do it. For the scripture says, “I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord.”” Romans 12:15-19.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for sacrificing your son on the cross in order to usher me into your grace. Help you to also place my own life on the altar of kingdom service. Let me live to honour you all my days in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
