Preserve Your Value

October 23, 2012

Scriptural Ground

 

You were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 7:23a NIV).

 

Prayer of Approach

 

Merciful God, your presence fills the earth. You know all things. You hear all things. You see all things. You know me just as I am. You are not fooled by my attempts to present myself as one who is acceptable. You know the truth about my life. You know my failures. You know my sins. You know that without your intervention I am worthy only of your judgement. I deserve to be separated from you and from all who belong to you.

Thank you for your mercy. Thank you for all that you have done to grant me life that is life eternal. Thank you for the Cross through which you purchased my redemption. Thank you for the cleansing from sin made available to me in Christ. Thank you for restoration and wholeness made available through the sacrificial death of Christ on the Cross.

Thank you for the value that you have placed upon me.

Thank you for making me your own through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Thank you for including me in your household of faith.

Through the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, hear and receive this prayer.

Amen.

 

A Moment With God

 

The precious blood of Jesus poured out in His suffering and death upon the Cross at Calvary is the incalculable price paid for the redemption of the soul of the one who has been granted membership in the Body of Christ whose head is the risen Lord. It is therefore unacceptable to place anything but the very highest value on those for whom Christ died. How do you view your life? Do you appreciate the fact that you were called into salvation just as you were? If God has placed such a high value on you where you have found yourself living, where you have been earning a living, where you have been occupying your time, surely He wants His presence to be felt among those with whom you have been sharing life. It is out of your encounter with His living, saving presence that you can share His reality with those around you in order to give them the opportunity also to meet and receive the Saviour.

Preserve Good Order

September 24, 2012

Scriptural Ground

 

But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way (1 Corinthians 14:40 NIV).

 

Prayer of Approach

 

In your kingdom, O God, there is the recognition that good order must prevail in order for life to develop properly. You ensure that there is reliability concerning the day and the night. You keep the earth spinning in its orbit at just the right distance from the sun to ensure that life as we know it can be sustained. You cause your truth to prevail within an...

About the Lord


The Bible teaches that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 NIV). It is also written that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23 NIV). Do you know that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 NIV)? It is also written: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24 NIV). Jesus said: "I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20 NIV). Dear friend, what is happening in your life? Are you experiencing the effects of sin, the evidence of death? Jesus died on the cross, bearing your sins so that you would not perish in death. Do hear His invitation to open your being and your life to Him that you may not continue to perish. Say this prayer that you may receive God's gift of eternal life right now: Lord Jesus, there is the presence of sin and the evidence of death in my life. Thank you for bearing my sins on the Cross. I need the gift of eternal life. In your Name, Lord Jesus, I do now open every door of my being and of my life to you. Come in and let me experience all that eternal life is meant to be for me. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Amen.
