OCTOBER 29TH.
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Not many of us seem to be aware of the consequences of our choice. There is so much power in your choice that each one of us make. The moment you make your choice, you empower the spirit that takes decision over your life. Sin is a choice and righteousness is a choice. The reward people get for choosing sin is death but the reward for choosing righteousness is life (Rom 3:23).
If you desire to see glorious days then you must run away from sin. Run away, so you can experience the glory and rest God has in store for you. If you are not ready to shun sin, you will only end up talking about Glory and Rest without any tangible evidence of it in your life.
God is opening great and glorious doors for His people but there are those who have placed themselves in a place where the doors are being shut against them, may this not be your portion in Jesus name.
If you refuse to follow God with a sincere heart you will be left behind, because God has no pleasure in them who draw back (Heb. 10:38). Do not be of them who draw back but make up your mind to tarry in His presence until you see the glory. The Lord is faithful and his glory is everywhere. Don’t miss your portion.
