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.
