MEMORY VERSE
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (Rom. 12: 1) NKJV
REVISION
For many people, both within and outside the church, the dictum is “if it pleases you, go ahead and do it”. For these people, God is no longer relevant, even though they attend church services and take Holy Communion. Christians are sometimes caught in the trap of this ungodly lifestyle, so much so that it is becoming difficult to know who truly belongs to God. The heaven-minded Christian must have a different focus. He must stand out as different among his neighbours.
God redeemed us with the intention that we become like Christ. He is willing to equip and empower us to meet this standard if we are willing and obedient. We should not be just hearers of the word, but must be doers also. This is the only way we can prove to the world that God’s plan is perfect.

MEMORY VERSE
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s (Rom. 14:8) NKJV
REVISION
No man is an island. Our lifestyles affect those around us. We can, therefore, knowingly or otherwise be aiding and abetting the destruction of people around us if we live carelessly. God wants our lives to be light that will reveal Christ to others.
A Christian must look beyond pleasing himself. His life, goal and aspiration must be directed at pleasing God, his Maker. In trying to please God, he has responsibilities towards his fellow believers, towards the ministers and towards God. The responsibilities are spelt out in the word of God. In essence, the Christian must be committed to living the word of God.
