the word of truth. (KJV)
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we pray that you may open the eyes of the understanding of those who study here and that success and prosperity would result from the fruits of their labour. Above all we ask that they may seek first your kingdom and make every effort to grow in the knowledge of Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
7. THE BATHROOM … Refreshment
Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual (or ‘reasonable’) act of worship.
In other words: Therefore, I beg of you, brethren, by the mercies of God that you yield your bodies—your total personalities—a living sacrifice, set apart for God, well-pleasing to God, which is your rational or spiritual service.
We are called upon to “present”—to yield. Here yielding is the way to Christian consecration and conduct.
He says to yield “your bodies,” your total personalities. The body is the instrument through which we express ourselves. The mind, the affections, the will; the Holy Spirit can use the body.
We are told to glorify God in our bodies.
1 Cor. 6:20: “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”
PRAYER:
Blessed are you, Lord of heaven and earth. You formed us in wisdom and love. We thank you for our health and are reminded that you give us the ability to create wealth (Deut 8:18). Refresh us in body and in spirit, and keep us in good health to serve you with gladness of heart.
CLOSING - God created all things for his pleasure
Rev. 4:11 “Thou art worthy, o Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (NKJV)
Let us be reminded that we ourselves, all that we are and all that we have, were created for Father’s pleasure and that we were made to worship Him and Him alone in every area of our lives.
PRAYER
Be our shelter, Lord, when we are at home, our companion when we are away, and our welcome guest when we return and at last receive us into the dwelling place you have prepared for us in your Father’s house, where you live for ever and ever. AMEN.
