No Foreign God

Good morning Scripture reading: Judges 10 Praise song: You deserve the glory   Meditation:      The children of Israel constantly trespassed against the Lord God by worshipping and bowing to false gods. Their desire to serve other gods kindled God's wrath against them. They disobey God's commandments and then appeal for mercy and forgiveness. God's help was conditional on the Israelites' obedience. Each time they rebelled and turned to other gods, He handed them over to their enemies. However, whenever they humbly repented and turned back to Him, He forgave them and sent a deliverer to rescue them. Jehovah God is a compassionate, merciful, loving, and forgiving God, but that does not mean we should blatantly sin against him.       The same command that applies to the Israelites still applies to us today. We are to put away the foreign gods that are among us, fear the Lord, and serve Him sincerely. Anything we idolize and worship other th...

The Spirit of Fear

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 4:6-7 Worship song: Fear is a Liar   Meditation:      Every day, we confront fear, and if we let it overwhelm us, it can rob us of our joy and peace. Fear is defined as the emotional response to an imminent or perceived threat of danger, pain, or evil, frequently resulting in feelings of worry and discomfort. This fear, which causes people to doubt God's power and faithfulness, is not from God but is considered a human limitation. God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-control. Fear will keep us from fulfilling our responsibilities and prevent us from doing the will of God.       The word of God reminds us in Isaiah 41:10 to fear not and be not dismayed, for God is with us; he will strengthen, help, and uphold us with his righteous right hand. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. Fearing man is a dangerous trap, but when you fear the Lord, you ar...

Recipient of HIs Grace

Good morning Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:5   Worship song: Forever at Your Feet   Testimony:      It is a core Biblical Christian belief that salvation is accessible to anyone who professes faith in Jesus as the Son of God and calls upon His name. Being born of God signifies a spiritual rebirth, a transformation that aligns believers with God's will and empowers them to overcome worldly influences. I have been empowered by God's grace and mercy through my belief in Jesus Christ and I am grateful to have found strength through my faith and feel mighty blessed by his divine grace and mercy.       I once walked the path where you are treading, loitering in dangerous places, and mistakenly believing it brought fulfillment, only to discover my brokenness and need for a savior. I was disobedient, stiff-necked, and carefree, doing that which I desired, but now I s...

Your Divine Purpose

By

Good morning Day of prayer   Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21   Worship song: Not My Will   Let Us Pray:      Sovereign God, clothed in splendor and majesty, I honor, worship, and adore you, O Lord, as my Father and King. Almighty God, I seek your divine intervention as I acknowledge that I have failed to hearken to your will daily. Almighty God, I humbly beseech you to restrain our self-will, aligning our lives with Your divine purpose. Free us, O God, from self-will, and let your will reside in us; let your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven, mighty God. Lord, we seek not to be conformed to this world, but to discern your will and what is good, acceptable, and well-pleasing in your sight.       Lord God, take command over every unfamiliar spirit and every spirit that is not authorized by ...

Position Yourself for Change

Good morning Scripture reading:  St. Luke 19:1-10 Hymn: Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul   Meditation:      The passage Zacchaeus is portrayed as a wealthy chief tax collector among the publicans, who desired to see Jesus Christ.   Zacchaeus was physically wealthy but spiritually bankrupt. He must have experienced an inner void, prompting him to seek spiritual refuge. There was a multitude assembled, waiting to see Jesus, but Zacchaeus, short in status, pushed his way through. It is possible he was ridiculed by onlookers as he climbed the tree to see Jesus, but he didn't care, for he knew he was broken on the inside.       After Zacchaeus communed with Jesus Christ, his concept of life changed. Jesus offered him salvation, and in return, Zacchaeus offered to restore fourfold what he had taken through false accusations and offer to assist individuals with financial challenges. Zacchaeus actively pursued Jesus because he desired a pr...

Not From Human

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 1 Worship song: Show Me Your Ways   Meditation:      Paul, in his writing, makes it clear that his preaching, ministry, and teaching were not ordained by man; they did not originate with man nor come through man. He was anointed and appointed by Jesus Christ as an apostle to preach the gospel; therefore, he could boast that he did not please men. He experienced a profound transformation, shifting from a brutal persecutor of Christians to an ardent minister of the Gospel. His conversion from ancestral beliefs to Christianity was a divine intervention that led him to preach the very gospel he once opposed.       Apostle Paul did not learn about Christ from any other apostle or institution; instead, he received his understanding of the gospel directly through a divine revelation from Jesus Christ. His knowledge was not derived from other apostles or human teachings, but from a direct, personal encou...

How Deep Are Your Roots

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 13:3-9 Worship song: Rooted and Grounded   Meditation:      In the parable of the Sower, Jesus gave four different scenarios: the seed that fell on the wayside, the seed that fell on stony ground, the seed that fell among thorns, and the seed that fell on good ground. This parable represents the Sower, the seed, and the soil. The Sower is the person proclaiming the word, the seed represents the word of God, and the soil represents the heart of those who hear the word of God. The seed that fell on the good ground represents the believers who hear the word, accept it, and bring forth fruit. The believers who are firmly anchored in Christ are like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; whatever they do will prosper. Your acceptance of God's word is determined by the condition of your heart.       Those who are not firmly rooted endure,...

Walking By Faith

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11 Praise song: Come This Far by Faith   Meditation:      Faith is the firm belief in something for which there may be no tangible proof. According to biblical teachings, faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of what we do not see. It is trusting and having confidence in God, believing that He will fulfill His promises. In Hebrews 11, the Old Testament patriarch of faith received a good report by trusting God's promises. The moment we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, our faith journey begins. Faith is fundamental to the Christian life, for without faith it is impossible to please God.       It is necessary for our spiritual journey that we develop a strong relationship with God by trusting His plans and believing in His promises. Faith is an unwavering assurance that motivates resolute action, undeterred by hardship. Abraham believed God's promise and it was count...
