As we explore the blessings of God’s provision, the second thing we want to be grateful for is the provision of godliness. While in so many prescribed religions around the world you have to work to earn righteousness and godliness, God, through Jesus Christ, has bestowed godliness upon us. It is part of the family package – the blessings of being in an active, ongoing relationship with Jesus. It is what happens when we are adopted into God’s family, and the Holy Spirit helps us understand that godliness is not something we need to work for. It is something we need to learn to receive and grow in as we actively live a life of godliness.
“True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it.” William Penn
Now, as we press on in prayer, our focus shifts to a critical plea: freedom from sin’s influence. Let’s ask for the Holy Spirit to grant us a deep, clear understanding of what it truly means to live pure, holy, and completely free from sin’s grip.
Extend that prayer beyond ourselves. Let’s earnestly pray that our communities—both here locally and across the nation—will be powerfully delivered from sin’s dominion and all its devastating consequences.
Where the shadow of sin has darkened lives, families, and neighborhoods, we declare and pray that the light of Christ will brilliantly shine. May the transformative provision of godliness be clearly seen and wholeheartedly embraced, in Jesus’ name!
Be Holy because I am Holy
Our vision is to be a church where people flourish, growing in the knowledge and love of God and reaching out in the spirit of generosity.
