Present Your Body as a Living Sacrifice

Apostle Winston Blair | Hope Redemption Worship Center | February 1, 2026

Apostle Winston Blair opened the service in worship, declaring, “You are worthy of it all… For from You are all things and to You are all things. You deserve the glory.” From the very beginning, the focus was clear—God alone is supreme and deserving of all honor.

He greeted the congregation and reminded everyone that no matter the challenges we face, God always has a door open somewhere. Life may feel uncertain. Families are under pressure. Nations are in turmoil. Laws change. Wars and rumors of wars fill the news. Fear is rising across the globe. Yet in the middle of instability, Apostle Blair declared boldly:

“God never fails.”

Drawing from Romans 12:1, he urged believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices—holy and acceptable unto God. In times like these, Christianity cannot be casual. It must be intentional. Holiness must return to the body of Christ. We must examine how we live, how we speak to one another, and how we represent God daily.

He warned that discouragement is tearing churches and families apart. Accusations, busy tongues, and division are blocking the flow of God’s grace. When unity is broken, spiritual strength weakens. Apostle Blair called the church to “come out from among them and be separated,” reminding everyone that living for God requires change—change in attitude, change in behavior, and change in how we treat one another.

Using the story of Esther, he encouraged the congregation to fast, pray, and stand boldly. Esther faced impossible circumstances, yet she said, “If I perish, I perish.” She walked into the king’s palace by faith—and the king stretched out his golden scepter. Apostle Blair declared prophetically that God is ready to stretch out His scepter toward His people. But we must take our walk with God seriously.

He reminded the church of life’s fragility, sharing about a recent funeral where a man left home for work and suddenly passed away. None of us know when our time will come. Therefore, we must make our election sure and stand firm in our faith.

Closing in prayer, Apostle Blair pleaded with God to strengthen the weak, comfort the broken, provide for families, and dispatch angels over His people. His message was simple yet urgent:

In uncertain times, remain faithful.
In dark days, stand holy.
In every trial, remember—God has you.
