WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR BODY?

 What Are You Doing with Your Body? 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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 12:1–2 (KJV)

Every human being is a triune being—he or she is a spirit, possessing a soul and living in a body (Genesis 2:7). God gave us a soul so that we can express our spirit through our body. The spirit and soul are invisible; due to this, some people overlook the importance of the spirit and the soul and only place emphasis on the body. Beloved, give equal importance to every aspect of your triune being because they all play a vital role in the success of your plans on earth. In the opening scripture, Apostle Paul pleads with believers in Christ Jesus to be conscious of what we use our bodies for. This appeal is directed to our spirit because that is where the Holy Spirit lives. When our spirit is stirred up with the Word of God, then the mind or soul can be led to present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice. This is done by first acknowledging that God created you and deserves your worship (John 4:23). Thus give your body to Him by simply dedicating your body to Him in a simple prayer, living in holiness onto Him by abstaining from all manner of sins, and engaging in acts of righteousness. Beloved, since this act of worship is a living sacrifice, feed your spirit and soul with the Holy Scriptures daily, meditate on them day and night, and observe to practice them (Joshua 1:8). As you practice them by loving God, loving your own self, and loving people by being kind to them, God will continually transform you and express His perfect will through you for many lives to be blessed. Hallelujah! Glory to God!

Prayer Point: My holy and righteous Father, I’m glad and happy to feed on Your Word today. I present my body to You today as a living sacrifice. Please lead me to feed on Your Word daily, meditate on this Word day and night, and practice it even if I don’t feel like practicing it because of challenges, in order to be a blessing to many lives in Jesus’ name. Amen!
