Monday: Dying Comes Before Knowing God’s Will
Many Christians sincerely seek to know God’s will for their lives. “If only I could know God’s will for my life, I would sacrifice everything for Him.” But even after promising God this, we still may be confused about what His will is. The reason for this confusion may be found in Romans 12:1-2. Paul is describing how we can know God’s will, and he makes an important point: if you want to know what God’s will is, you have to sacrifice first!
Read Romans 12:1-2. Paul writes that we will be able to “test and approve what God’s will is” (Romans 12:2, NIV) when:
- We have a true understanding of “God’s mercy” for us (Romans 12:1-2).
- We offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God ().
- Our minds are renewed (Romans 12:2).

It is only the renewed mind that truly can understand God’s will. But this renewal hinges on our death to self first. It was not enough that Christ simply suffered for us — He had to die.
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you any areas in which you are not completely “dead.” What things does the Holy Spirit need you to give up in order for you to become a “living sacrifice” for God?
When areas of our lives are not completely dead to self, God permits crucibles to bring them to our attention. However, our suffering not only helps us confront our sin — it also gives us an insight into Jesus’ giving Himself up for us. Elisabeth Elliot writes, “The surrender of our heart’s deepest longing is perhaps as close as we come to an understanding of the cross … . our own experience of crucifixion, though immeasurably less than our Savior’s, nonetheless furnishes us with a chance to begin to know Him in the fellowship of His sufferings. In every form of our own suffering, He calls us to that fellowship.” — Quest for Love (Grand Rapids, MI: Fleming H. Revell, 1996), p. 182.
| Read and pray over Romans 12:1-2. Think about the things you need to give up in order for you to become a sacrifice. How does this help you to understand the sufferings Jesus faced for you on the cross? How can this knowledge help you enter into fellowship with Jesus and His sufferings? |
Amen!

Children Are Important to God; Lead Them to Christ #TedWilson #shorts
Why is it essential that we lead our children to Christ? This #short video from Pastor Ted Wilson's weekly message reminds us of the importance of leading our children to Jesus. Family worship is one of the best ways for them to get to know Jesus. This is the best time to talk to them about the Bible and everything about Jesus. There are many ways that we can bring them to Jesus. We all want our children to grow up to be mature and wisdom-filled thinkers, and we can achieve this by training them; as Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Listen to Pastor Ted Wilson's message on love, marriage, and bringing our children to Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csEDg3HkAWA&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo_ANrUJhHN2_4bSlMDTjuqQ&index=48 ———————————————————————————— The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.

12.DYING LIKE A SEED
Even the dying of a seed produces fruit. It is transformed from a seed into a fruit-bearing plant.
Memory Text: John 12:24 – Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; . . . but if it dies, it produces much grain.
