Forward: 21 Days of Fasting and Prayerตัวอย่าง

SETTING OURSELVES APART The presence of impurities reduces the electrical conductivity of metals. This is why the copper wiring used in light bulbs needs to be pure, so that when an electric current passes through, bright light is emitted! In the same way, we need to set ourselves apart so that the full power of God can work through our lives. Here’s how: Pursue holiness. Sin separates us from God and derails our calling and ministry. Romans 6:12 says we should not let sin control the way we live. So take the active step to reject sin and commit to living a life of holiness each day! This means repenting when you sin but also purposefully choosing to honour God in our thoughts, speech, and actions. Make kingdom choices. There are many choices we make that may not be sinful but don’t set us apart for the kingdom of God. How we spend our time, the relationships that we cultivate, the lifestyle that we lead - in each of these things, we can make choices that lead us more towards God, or more towards the world. Make choices today that will make you more like Christ and that will build the kingdom in your life. Reflect: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal thoughts, attitudes or behaviours that are not right in your life. Choose to renounce them and commit them to God. * Setting ourselves apart is an intentional decision. What is one way that you can cultivate an active obedience to honour God in your life? Prayer: Dear God, I confess that I am weak in my own strength. Without You, I have no power over sin. Help me to break away from habitual sin and strengthen me in my weaknesses. I ask for Your grace and strength as I commit to set my life apart for You and to live in holiness. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
