Memorise: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
Read: Acts 10:34-35 (KJV)
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Bible in one year: Exodus 35:30-38:20, Psalms 119:81-96
AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL
-
God’s acceptability of any human being is an act of His love, mercy, grace and favour.
God accepts people who respond to him by faith. This is why we have categories of children in the Kingdom of God
- Amongst the adopted children, there are golden, sliver, wooden and earthen sons and daughters. Also, there are repentant and reliable as well as deceitful and unreliable children. What kind of child are you?
- Although, God loves all His children, yet, not all of them please Him equally. While the unrepentant ones displease the Lord, the repentant and reliable ones please Him.
-
To be acceptable to God as a beloved son or daughter is not an easy task. It requires total submission to God’s will and total obedience to His commandments
SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
Pleasing our maker, the author and the finisher of our faith should be our priority. When we constantly please God by doing what is our reasonable service and His will concerning our lives. When we satisfy the conditions of God over our lives, He grants us our heart desire. “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4 KJV. Just like our father in the Lord stated in today’s devotional that “to be acceptable to God as a beloved son or daughter is not an easy task. It requires total submission to God’s will and total obedience to His commandments ” this is a truth that all believers must run with to fulfill purpose in life. Blessed be God for our father in the Lord Pastor E. A Adeboye for the great insight in today’s devotional. May he continually increase in strength and grace in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, help me to meet the standard of Your acceptability in the Name of Jesus.
HYMN
1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.
2 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.
