Romans 12:1 AMP
 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship


A SACRIFICE MUST BE BURNT
As we approach any place of worship or any alter as a child of God, you must be ready to burn and offer an aroma of worship to God.

The times when animals were offered as sacrifices, they were first examined wether they were without Blemish. But God is asking us to be holy, devoted, consecrated and well pleasing to Him as a sacrifice of worship before He can burn because He is the Fire.

Sometimes one may wonder, to burn how; As a church of Christ [Body Of Christ] We must be Instruments and utensils for his manifestation to this world so as He uses us.

God can only use you perfectly if you are burnt/dead to yourself.
On the other hand, burning of any sacrifice is limited by ''too much Fats'' which are the spiritual weights that offer a bad aroma to God. 

As we approach our personal and group alters, we have to lay aside any 'fat'/works of the flesh /carnal man and allow God to make us to what he wants.
One maybe ready to burn but you don't because of the spiritual weights, it may take you long to be made/refined/get burnt

For me to be a living sacrifice, I must Lay aside any spiritual fat in order to burn and offer a sweet aroma to God. 
Because the sacrifice is no longer for the remission of sins but of worship.

Further study
Hebrews 12:29
Leviticus 4:31-35

Prayer
Father I thank you for your word, I choose to be the best sacrifice of worship before you at my alter as you say in your word. Remove any fat that makes me offer a bad aroma to you. in Jesus' Mighty Name. AMEN

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
