Apostle Paul’s purpose of writing
the book of Romans is to give
a sample of his message before
he arrives in the city of Rome.
This week we understand God better
thru knowing His attributes, mostly
related to His ability to meet needs.
On Monday, we learn from Rom 1
about Living the Power of God.
On Tues, we learn from Rom 3 that
Merciful God Frees You from Sin.
On Wed, we learn from Rom 5
that God Gives Hope In Hard Times.
On Thursday, we learn from Rom 8
that Spirit of Life Helps In Prayer.
On Friday, we learn from Rom 15
that Spirit Gives Confident Hope.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face…In Jesus’ name.
For 11 chapters Paul has set forth
the doctrine of the Christian faith.
The balance of his letter moves
into the practical outworking of
that faith. For every assignment,
there is a enablement from God:
Serve one another using the gifts
God gave you; be subject to higher
authorities; be sensitive to needs
of weaker brothers; be united
in purpose & have mind of Christ.
Lord,fill us with Joy, Peace & Hope:
For whatever things were written
before were written for our learning,
that we through the patience
and comfort of the Scripture
might have Hope… Jesus Christ
has become a servant to
the circumcision for the truth
of God, to confirm the promises
made… May the God of Hope fill
you with all joy and peace as you
trust Him so that u may Overflow
with Hope by the power of the
Holy Spirit (Rom 15:4, 9, 13). Amen.
Father, it is difficult to be peaceful
when facing difficult situations.
I need and want to overflow with
confident hope; and I appropriate
Apostle Paul’s prayer as my own.
As I continue to believe in You
and trust You, fill me with Your
peace, keep me happy and let me
overflow with hope through the
power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Spirit, I love Your Word, but I need
it to be personalised. Pour it deep
into my heart like a spiritual injection
the truth that I really need to hear.
Lord my abounding joy and peace,
I especially need You in this season
as I undergo preparation program
and perceive how I can best serve
You with my life. Teach me to trust
You more, so that I can rest more
joyfully and peacefully in You. Amen.
Lord, it’s still a pretty grim world
out there, and prolonged trials
can also cause us to doubt.
Fill me Lord to overflowing with
Hope as I turn my heart to You.
Fill me with hope and restore
me Lord even as I trust in You.
Help me to take my eyes off
the challenges as I hope in You
and wait upon You to act. Amen.
