“As you come to Him, the Living Stone- rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him- you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”

Heavenly Father, We glorify You, we Honor You, we exalt You to the most high. Here Lord, in Your feet, we ask for your forgiveness of all the pasts sins, and sins to commit more in the future. We know you hold us firmly that You have already forgiven all our transgressions, mistakes and wrong decisions in life. We ask you to bathe us with Your Blood, the only thing that could make us clean again and turn into You once more.

Lord Jesus, I pray that You will sincerely touch Your people in this little devotion, feeding our selves with Your spirit, making us know You more. Lord grant us Your heavenly wisdom, understanding, and knowledge according to Your Holy Word. Make us apply this in our daily living. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, AMEN.

“As you come to Him, the Living Stone- rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him- you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”

We are called the living stones, just us our Jesus is our LIVING STONE.

Life with God is a life in which one is never alone. We have a “with relationship to God, in which we are forever rid of isolation and loneliness.

Even when we are rejected by people because of being a Christian, He has promises to us the we could always cling to.

We are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ.

Spiritual house- we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, so we could represent this spiritual house as our ownselves, being guided by the Holy Spirit.

Holy Priesthood- in my point of view, this is our straight life as a Christian, meaning, being Holy and righteous, just as our Father in heaven is Holy and righteous- until we see His coming again.

We are being built by the Holy Spirit in us, to be Christlike, and staying holy, righteous, faithful to God until the Judgment Day, until we see His face.

WE ARE HIS PRECIOUS PRIESTS, LIVING AND STRIVING FOR HOLY PRIESTHOOD!

“You shall be for me, a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.” (Exodus 19:6)

We are the chosen generation of God, of whom He separated us from the world to serve Him, glorify Him, and be a testimony to other who are still baby Christians and unbelievers.

(World- represents the sinners life, the wrongdoings that are ruled by Satan.)

“To Him who loves us and freed us from our sins by His blood, and made us to be a Kingdom, a priestly kingdom, priest serving his God and Father, To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever” (Revelations 1:5-6)

God calls us to a direct relationship with Him, a fully self-conscious, personal relationship with Him (as priests) in which we share the responsibility with Him, in the exercise of His Authority (as kings).

CONCLUSION

AUTHORITY. We have it through Jesus Christ because God made us His priests.

RESPONSIBILITY. We should exercise this authority/leadership God has given us.

We are heads, and not the tails. We are all born leaders.

How do you respond to the idea that part of our life with God involves sharIngresponsibility with God in exercising authority?

What do you need to do to become equipped for such a role?

Let us be an AUTHORITATIVE, RESPONSIBLE, HUMBLE PRIESTS OF GOD!

Let us use the authority God has given us.

“I have given you authority to trample on and to overcome; and nothing will harm you.” Luke 11:19 (reconstructed)

Lord Jesus, thank You so much for everything. For everything I have learned and will learn from Your word. Capture it with Your Spirit and Blood, here in your temple. Make me live all of my days glorifying You and no other than You. We give you back all the praises, glory, honor and dominion In Jesus’ mighty Name, AMEN! Hallelujah!

TO GOD BE THE ENORMOUS, PINNACLE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER!

GOD

BLESS

YOU!
