MEMBERS IN ONE BODY.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

DATE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2019.

THEME: MEMBERS IN ONE BODY.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:2.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Romans 12:3-5.
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
The critical observation of the body system or structure revealed that the body is made up of several parts both great and small. Although many maybe miniature or insignificant, but without them the body is incomplete and challenge.
However, our today’s text declared that, _”For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office.”_ This is to show that, we all have different gifts and calling. For the scripture says: *”And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.”* (Ephesians 4:11)
More so, our memory verse expressly stated that, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”(Romans 12:2) The above admonition is to guide us against conformity that is not of God, as members in one body. Rather, we are to be transformed, good, acceptable and perfect before God.
Conclusively, Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians saying; _”For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”_ Invariably, you and I are God’s children, established in the world to light up the universe. The truth is that, no matter your age, status, statute, believe, gifts or calling, we all belong to God, for God’s pleasure and glory. May God continue to uphold, with grace to do HIS will now and always in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I belong to God. I am for God’s pleasure and glory.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me to always do my part in the body of Christ. Oh Lord, in your mercy, make me to remain relevant, till the end of time in Jesus name. Amen.

Are You Sure?

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

DATE: TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2019.

THEME: ARE YOU SURE?

MEMORY VERSE:
“The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”

Psalms 27:1, 4.
“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
At salvation, we were watched, renew and set apart, as a new creature. Knowing full well, that old things had passed away and all things is new. More so, Holy Spirit help us to get along with the things of the spirit, as we daily meditates on the word of God.
However, it is sadden to note that, the majority, that claimed to have been saved, still live and engaged in activities that are void of regenerated life. The question now is, _”Are We Sure, that our salvation is intact?, And still possess same vibrant and healthy Christian lifestyle, as it was when we first gave our lives?”_
Meanwhile, Apostle Paul admonishes us in Titus 1:9 saying:
*”Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.”* Invariably, you and I must be firm in faith, grow in the sound apostolic knowledge, educate our fellow brethrens and convince the doubtful.
In conclusion, it is pertinent to declared that, there is tendency to fall from grace, but when this happens, what do we do? do you make amendments to salvage your salvation? And are you sure, that you will make Heaven, if Jesus come today? May God help us to be ever ready for Heavenly call in Jesus name. Amen

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will hold on to Jesus: The permanent anchor of my soul.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please give me grace to be ever ready for the Heavenly call. And help me Lord, to cooperate with your grace upon my life in Jesus name. Amen.

Finally, beloved in Christ Jesus, just like the wise men seek Jesus, let’s seek Him, in truth and in spirit, when we can find Him.(Deuteronomy 4:29) May you find Jesus, as you seek Him today in truth and in spirit. Amen.
