TUESDAY—FOCUS ON CHRIST’S PRAYER LIFE
Chronological Bible Reading: Proverbs 13-16
Tuesday, June 2
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
O Lord Jesus:
You poured-out your soul in intercession before you poured your soul out in death, and in so doing you gave me a pattern of prayer for power.
Lord, sanctify me! That means, accumulating power for service. You want me with a positive, proactive consecration to fulfill the purpose for my soul in your eternity. So let me abandon my will to yours. Let me be your temple, fit for indwelling, and an instrument suited to praise. Consecrate me to a holy sacrifice.
Sanctified things are reserved for divine use. Make me so – fully dedicated to you and presented at your altar.
* I do not belong to the world, otherwise I would be ambitious
* I do not belong to Satan, otherwise I would be covetous
* I am not my own, otherwise I would be able to be selfish
I am bought with a price, and belong to you who paid it. So Jesus, send your spirit to answer to your word as I trust you in this life! I was a sheep going astray. Now belong to your pasture. If anyone asks my occupation, I can say with Jonah,
Jonah 1:9 I fear the LORD, the God of heaven,
I seek no freedom to sin. I seek no liberty for myself. Rather I cry,
Psa. 118:27 God is the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar
I am that sacrifice! I am now at your disposal. I refuse to hire myself out to inferior interests, mercenary aims, or selfish ambitions. I have a covenant with God, a true word from the Lord. Let me know, and let the world know also, that I am bound to the horns of the altar by everything it says – and that I belong to Jesus by faith in him. For so I ask it in Jesus’ own name. Amen.
