God wants your body; present it to Him!

In 2003, an unassuming Ghanaian man went to Florida to do a presentation. His presentation was clear, fluid and won the hearts of his audience. As he presented to his audience, there were some other Ghanaian gentlemen seated at the back who saw the most ethereal thing on the face of the earth radiate from the presenter. So after his presentation, they walked up to him and said, "We saw your face radiating the glory of God when you were presenting and you were not even preaching!" They had no doubt that he had been with Jesus. 

When we obediently present our bodies to the Lord Jesus Christ, we become bearers of His glory to the world.

That unassuming Ghanaian man was Apostle Victor Badger, the Apostle in charge of campus ministries of Gospel Light International Church. He shared a stirring message entitled "God wants your body; present it to Him" on Sunday, 17th September, 2017 during the Communion & Anointing Service of the Kingdom Cathedral of Gospel Light International Church. 

Quoting from Romans 12:1, which says, *"I beseech ye therefore,  brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."*, the man of God enunciated that God wants our bodies. He wants us to willingly present our bodies to Him as a living sacrifice.

Present your body to Him. Give it to Him. Philippians 4:8 will help you to do so diligently. God wants you to give yourself completely to things that are pure, just, lovely, true, honest, and of good report.

Apostle Badger expounded that in the Old Testament, when the Jews brought the sacrifice to the altar, there was a *change in position* and a *change in usage*. The glorious revelation came forth that when we present our bodies unto the Lord, there is a change in our position (from being common to being holy) and there is a change in usage (from use for the ordinary to use for the glory of God).

God chose you for a cause. You have been brought in by the High Priest to the House of God. 

He urged the congregation, saying, "Allow the Master to use you. God has now changed your position and your usage. You are no longer used for ordinary and common things. Your body is no more for yourself but for His glory and for His use."
