Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

December 3: Romans 13-16

Scripture: Romans 15:17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—
19 by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way round to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

Observation: Jesus demonstrated the power of the kingdom as he proclaimed the truth of the kingdom. The disciples continued in the same manner and here we see Paul doing likewise. The miracles of Jesus were done through the power of the Holy Spirit. Here we see the same is true of Paul.

Application: The lives and ministries of Jesus and Paul were made effective by the works of the Holy Spirit. How much more I need to be open to the working of the Holy Spirit in my life and ministry. I need Him to speak to me and through me.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please keep working with me until I learn to recognize your voice the first time every time. Amen
