YOUR BODY BELONGS TO GOD, Give God Glory With Your Body
Romans 12:1 NIV “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
A young guy was in a hurry to get out of his house and head out to a nightclub; he had just snuck out his window when his phone rang and it was his friendly neighbour, Jameson, on the line.
“Sylvester, I saw you climb out of your window, why did you do that?”
“I’m headed to a club. Care to join me?” Sylvester replied hurriedly
“No man, my legs can’t take me,” Jameson said.
“Huh, what do you mean by “my legs can’t take me”?”
“My legs belong to Jesus and are only used for His glory, Syl.”
In his letter to the Romans, Paul addressed his brothers and sisters in Christ and not the people of the world, admonishing them to present their bodies as holy sacrifices to God. Realise that being born again, you were paid for, and your body belongs to God; He only made you its custodian, but it’s actually His property: “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:20).
Don’t give your body to sin, sickness, wickedness, lust or even the devil for his works. Give your body to the Lord! Let Him have the sole right to decide what happens to and with your body. And you’ll be amazed at what will happen in your life, for His glory will be revealed in you!
1 Samuel 12:24
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Pray
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the privilege of presenting my body to you as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto you. I refuse to give my body to any evil thing. My entire body belongs to you, and your righteousness is manifested in it, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
