Today’s Devotional
"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to me which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to the ways of the world..."
You are beautifully and wonderfully made in my image.
My child, you were designed for greatness and for a purpose. Embrace and create a relationship with me and you shall discover your objective in life. Walk in my light and your life shall have true meaning. Do not be discouraged by your weaknesses and struggles for everything that happens in your life is to serve my will. Refrain from comparing yourself and your life with that of others. I created every single person uniquely by my own image and each and every person has a different journey that serves my purpose.
I have made each and every one of you differently, uniquely and with different types of weaknesses and inabilities. For instance, you may have been born with a physical disability such as blindness. You feel bad for you may never get to see the light of day and the wonderful things in the world. You cry in distress as to why I subjected you to such suffering and fate. You feel like I’m punishing you or you feel cursed. Worry not for what you view as defects will bear wondrous miracles and greatness. For example, as a blind person, you can develop hearing beyond normal capacity.
Beloved, in those times you feel weak and of no use lean on my strength which is more efficient than your own. Always keep in mind that my power is made perfect in your weaknesses and my grace is sufficient to you always. Do not be hard on yourself because of your defects and weakness. Find comfort in knowing that no one is perfect and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made in my image and likeness. You are enough and you have a purpose through me.
My child, you are mine and I created you for a reason. Pray that I may always give you the strength to keep moving and to receive positivity in your times of weakness. Trust in my plans for you, my plans for you are those of success and prosperity and not failure and suffering.
Your body is my temple.
Child, do not allow the pleasures of the world to take away the purity of your body and soul. Your body is my very temple for I created you, my son Jesus redeemed you, and the Holy Spirit dwells in you. Your body is not your own but my resting ground. Honor your body for you were bought at a price, with the precious blood of my son Jesus.
Walk away from the desires of the flesh that will often lead you into sin. Sin makes you impure and unholy as it is a total disregard of my commandments and instructions. Sin is evil and I cannot co-exist with evil and darkness. Refrain from succumbing to sin and temptations such as sexual immoralities. Take care of your bodies as well by maintaining your physical, spiritual, and mental health.
My child, my spirit resides in you and so you should embrace me by maintaining sacredness. Embrace my spirit and it shall help and guide you from gratifying the desires of the sinful nature. Worry you who has sinned for there is a chance at redemption. Accept me by accepting the salvation and redemption of my son Jesus. You are pure and holy enough to have my spirit because of the blood of my son Jesus that cleanses your soul.
Beloved, you are my temple and my resting ground. Always pray for my power to help you overcome the temptations of the enemy who has the intentions of impurifying you and bringing destruction upon you.
