Romans 15:1-13

Living to Please Others

1We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. 2We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. 3For even Christ didn’t live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.”a 4Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.

5May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. 6Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. 8Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jewsb to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors. 9He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote:

“For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles;

I will sing praises to your name.”c

10And in another place it is written,

“Rejoice with his people,

you Gentiles.”d

11And yet again,

“Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles.

Praise him, all you people of the earth.”e

12And in another place Isaiah said,

“The heir to David’s thronef will come,

and he will rule over the Gentiles.

They will place their hope on him.”g

13I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER FOR TODAY 25TH AUGUST 2022

Let’s pray:

Lord, thank you for the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I ask that You move my heart to a surrendered place that craves closeness with You. Father, I pray that as I grow in the knowledge of what you command of me, I will follow You boldly. Help me see that the consequences I face due to sin are out of Your love for me – You discipline me as a father disciplines his child. IJN, amen.

Father, In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray today, opening our hearts to receive Your Word and we declare Your Word find fertile ground in our hearts. Its fruits shall bring You glory as it feeds the hungry, clothes the poor, and heals the sick. Let Your Grace and Your Glory abound in Jesus name, Amen! John Chapter 1 ...Continued The Testimony of John the Baptist 19 This was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John, “Who are you?” 20 He came right out and said, “I am not the Messiah.” 21 “Well then, who are you?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?” “No,” he replied. “Are you the Prophet we are expecting?” “No.” 22 “Then who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?” 23 John replied in the words of the prophet Isaiah: “I am a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Clear the way for the LORD’s coming!’” 24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent 25 asked him, “If you aren’t the Messiah or...

Embracing His Divine Spirit

EMBRACING HIS DIVINE SPIRIT ”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” - Matthew 6:33 One shocking truth we will come to learn as followers of Christ is that God desires us to embrace His divine Spirit to achieve spiritual growth & success in life. Embracing His divine Spirit is to attune the posture of your heart with the Spirit of God right in you! The scripture says the kingdom of God is in you! Turning to Christ in you, to align with the divine spirit of God brings you to the domain of God’s power and providence. God is an embodiment of His divine attributes of: righteousness, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control – (Gal 5: 19-21). Y ou must always make sure you are closely bonded with God to gain access to his divine power, righteousness, and other attributes. How then do we tell if we are in tune with His divine Spirit? Watch these aspects of...

Today's Prayer Lord,  We come to You in prayer  seeking Your holy presence.  Please wrap Your loving arms around us  & fill the empty spaces in our hearts.  Thank You, Lord, for never leaving us  nor forsaking us.  Cover us with Your precious blood  & comfort us with Your peace  which surpasses all understanding.  IJN, Amen! (Author -unknown) Today's Scripture Reading John 1:1-18 Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. God sent a man, John the Baptist,  to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light...
