And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.
ROMANS 8:28 AMP

Blessed be the name of the Lord for gifting us with a brand new day. Today’s date is 28/8 or 8/28 and our scripture is 8/28 of Romans…..It is working for our good!

All things work together for our good because God is the architect and brain behind it.

May we continue loving God and walking in His plan, May ALL THINGS be orchestrated together for our good by the Heavenly Father in Jesus Mighty name. May we experience the joy of the Lord in all spheres of your life. Amen.

Present your Body as a Living Sacrifice, Holy and Acceptable to God

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.
ROMANS 12:1 AMP

Praise the Lord for this beautiful day and the opportunity to connect to the Most High God for His blessing.

This morning Apostle Paul is telling us that we should offer our bodies as a Living Sacrifice to the Lord. He further stressed that the body offered must be holy and acceptable.

That is why we should completely offer ourselves to the use of the Master, and just like Abel presented an aromatic sacrifice to God, we should be fully dedicated and set apart for the Lord. The scripture further stated that it should be our reasonable act of worship to the Lord.

May Great Grace abound towards us so that we can offer our bodies as Living sacrifices, Holy and without blemish unto the Lord. May this be our reasonable act of worship to the Lord Jesus Christ all the days of our lives in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

The promises of God have been documented in the Scriptures to encourage us to trust absolutely in God for the blessings contained in the Word.

May we always find hope and encouragement in the Word of God, may it strengthen and guide us throughout our lives. May Jehovah help us and be our portion in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Faith Comes by Hearing the Word of God

So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.
ROMANS 10:17 AMP

Hallelujah! Praise and honour be unto God for this beautiful day, glory be to His name.

Thanks be to God for His Word today that says Faith comes from the hearing of the Word of God.

The more we listen to the Word of God and hear what is said, we are building up our Faith which is very essential for our survival. Also we need to read and study the Word of God to build up our faith.

May we continue to listen and hear the Word of God to boost and fortify our Shield of Faith that will ward off any fiery darts. May Faith rise up in us so that we will boldly stand for the Lord and declare His goodness to the world. Amen.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly Love

Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor;
Romans 12:10 AMP

Glory, Hallelujah and Praise be to God for this beautiful Sunday and the opportunity to fellowship with brethren in His sanctuary.

Our love must have its root from the love of God that caused Jesus Christ to die to save the world. Our love must be genuine love and not based on pretence.

Why are we showing love to this person? Is it for us to win favour or for public sympathy? God has called us to real and sincere love that goes beyond pretence and politeness. It requires us to help others become better people.

Our love must honour others because they have been created in the image of God.

May the Lord help us to love and honour one another based on His love for us. May our love seek genuinely to build up others and make them better people to the glory of God. Help us love genuinely Lord. Amen

Moving from death to the Spirit of God which is life and peace

Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever–because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God–both now and forever];
Romans 8:6 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Praise God!

The beginning of this chapter outlines the great sacrifice that our Lord Jesus Christ went through to translate us from sin and death to life eternal. Moving from condemnation to life.

Today’s scripture focuses on the point that the mind of the sinful person is death but a mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

There is therefore the urgent need for us to cross over from our sinful minds to that which is controlled by the Holy Spirit. We need to make that switch from sin and death to life and peace. Jesus Christ is ready to receive us as we make this important life changing decision.

May we cross over from our sinful minds associated with death to eternal life in Christ Jesus where our minds and hearts are controlled by the Spirit of God. May our walk be with the Holy Spirit now and forever more in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

No Condemnation in Christ Jesus

Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
ROMANS 8:1‭-‬2 AMP

Glory, honour and adoration be unto God the Most High. What a Mighty God we serve! Praise be unto His Holy name for a brand new day.

Christ Jesus came to die on earth to set us free from the bondage of this world and the evil one. No wonder the above scripture says that therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

The blood of Jesus has made us brand new people by transforming us from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God, into His marvellous Light. Just believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Christ Jesus is Lord!

Confessing Jesus as your Lord and Personal Saviour separates you from the law of sin and death and positions you for the Life in Christ Jesus operating with a brand new Spirit.

May we come to Jesus for a brand new life! May we hold on to Jesus Christ till He returns for His own. May the Lord help us and grant us the grace to abide in Him till His glorious coming in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

The Spirit of God Intercedes on our behalf

In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words.
ROMANS 8:26 AMP

Praise, glory and honour be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Let’s celebrate goodness of the Lord today.

The Lord Jesus Christ promised us the Holy Spirit will come to help us in all things when He was departing to Heaven.

We appreciate God for the Holy Spirit that aids us in our weaknesses and moments when we cannot stand and pray. Thanks be to God for the Holy Spirit that teaches us how to pray when we are in low moments and cannot pray.

Thank you Spirit of the Living God for the intercession, for the deep sighs and groanings that are beyond our words. Continue to intercede for us for we need your strength and power to overcome and conquer at all times in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Rejoice in Hardships because it Produces Hope and Assurance of Salvation

And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation].
ROMANS 5:3‭-‬4 AMP

Praise, Glory and honour be to God for this blessed day, may we rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture is drawing our minds to the fact that there are some benefits during our trial or difficult moments. God is able to use that to build up our character in the Faith.

We can recall the persecution of the church in Acts of the Apostles that sent Philip to Samaria to preach the gospel.

This is to draw attention to the fact that it is not only a gloomy situation when we enter into trials. We should therefore continue to trust God even in difficult moments that they will work together for our good.

May the Lord help us so that with endurance we will look forward to seeing Christ even in our challenging moments. God be our strength. May we not lose our salvation because of challenges that may have come our way. Amen.

Have you called on the name of the Lord yet? This is an opportune time and moment to call on the name of the Lord. Jesus Christ is ready to receive us at anytime so call on the name of the Lord and be saved!

Thank you Father once again for the gift of Jesus Christ, we shall continue to call on the name of the Lord and receive salvation. May we remain in Christ Jesus now and forever more in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

ROMANS 3:23 AMP

Praise Glory and honour for a brand new day. Thanks be to God for Grace and mercy that still abound towards us!

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has paid the ultimate price that has translated us from a place of no hope to eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Yes all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God, the wages of sin is death but Thanks be to God for redeeming us and giving us yet another opportunity to live a fulfilling life.

Jesus’ death on the cross has restored the lost glory to us. What is expected is for all of us to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Saviour to receive this restored glory.

Thank you Father for your unlimited love towards us by giving your Son Jesus Christ to die to save us. Indeed it is in you that we live and move and have our being. Amen. Glory be God!
