“Your Assignment”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE ….
“Your Assignment”
During our second Sunday sermon, January 14, 2024, Pastor Brice gave us an assignment: For the next 30 days read Romans chapter 8 in its entirety. You’ll get a closeup look at the passion and plan God has over our lives. Be intentional. Pray every time before you read it. God will give you revelation.
Yes, I’ve been diligently reading Romans chapter 8. The chapter is literately divided into three sections: Life Through the Spirit, Romans 8:1-17; Present Suffering and Future Glory, Romans 8:18-30; and More Than Conquerors. Romans 8:31-39.
I’ve found that by praying, reading, meditating, seeking discernment over one of the three sections every day, God is blessing me. He is giving me clarity concerning Romans chapter 8.
“We share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” – Romans 8:17.
God sent His Son, Jesus, to walk among the people so that He could show the people how to live. However, not everyone had love in their heart for Jesus.
“And they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.” – Matthew 26:4 (NIV).
Although Jesus suffered at Calvary, He also won because God raised Him. We must suffer also, but our sufferings will never be equivalent to the suffering Jesus had to endure to save us.
We will suffer and we will also win. We will be stronger, wiser, better, so much better. Just like in the Marvin Sapp song: Never Would Have Made It. God will be there for you. He will see you through your storm – calamity – difficulty.
“The Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” – Romans 8:27 (NIV).
As you pray, ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for you. Pray for the Holy Spirit to let the will of God prevail in your request. (And you already know – you’ve won.)
“We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” – Romans 8:37 (NIV).
Thank you, Pastor Brice, for giving us this assignment. To consistently pray, read, meditate, and seek, is providing revelations that may have taken much longer had I not taken on this assignment.
