Today’s Scripture: Romans 6:19, NKJV- “I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.”
We have made ourselves slaves to worse things than righteousness, haven’t we? If we are being honest, we have all allowed ourselves to be slaves to things that we knew were not right. Romans 6:19 encourages us to accept that we can also present ourselves as slaves of righteousness.
LORD God, I am Your slave. Please set me free from sin and bring me into Your slavery of righteousness and holiness. As Romans 6:22 proclaims, “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.” (NLT)
Thank You Lord Jesus for setting us free to do what is right. I know and accept Romans 6:23, that states “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” I do accept Your gift Father God of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. I am offering my life to You.
As Roman 6:16 states that we are slaves to whom we obey. LORD, I am praying now and committing to obeying You. Help me LORD for I am weak, but I know You are strong. Draw me in and keep me close as Your Spirit leads me in what is right. I am presenting myself to be Your slave and Your servant for righteousness forever.
Sin shall no longer be my master as I live under the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ as Paul instructs us in Romans 6:14. As we are also encouraged in Romans 6:13, I am offering every part of myself as an instrument of righteousness. (NIV) Replace, dear LORD, any evil desires I may have with desires for Your righteousness.
“So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:11, NLT. Thank You God for welcoming us to live with You and the Lamb Jesus Christ forever. I am alive with You and dead to the power of sin.
Thank You Jesus for breaking the power of sin. I am presenting myself to You now to live with You in the righteousness of God forever.
Today’s prayer: Thank You Father God for allowing us to choose You as our master. Thank You LORD for Jesus Christ who died to break the power of sin so we could live in obedience to Your righteousness. Our flesh is weak LORD yet the power of the flesh of Jesus Christ has welcomed us into righteousness and we accept Your call. Help us LORD to serve You in glory. In the name of Jesus Christ, we do pray. Amen.
