Key Verse

“Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.” Romans 6:13

Text — Romans 6: 12-14

Message

Instruments or implements are tools for doing work. One of the commonest instruments is your pen or biro with which you write. They aid in doing work well and fast. Think of how difficult it would have been for you to take down your note without that simple device. It is not generally easy to be righteous or help others to be righteous. After yielding yourself to the Lord in salvation, your body as a whole, now becomes an instrument that God uses to show His righteous nature to the people around you.

When you sin you become like a faulty device. How frustrated do you use to feel when your pen or biro suddenly stopped writing particularly during examination. As instruments submit to the users, so you as a friend of Jesus must willingly obey and do the will of your Saviour. You can imagine how painful in His heart Jesus feels when His friends do evil and sin against Him. Such a friend becomes a useless instrument.

Today, decide to be an instrument of righteousness to God. In words, in thoughts and in actions, be godly and righteous wherever you go.
