Letting Go And Let God

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5: 6-7 Worship song: Let Go   Meditation:      When faced with difficulties or a pressing issue we cannot resolve, we tend to become agitated and unsettled. The inability to change a situation immediately leads to worry, anxiety, and frustration. We often forget that God is fully aware of our situations and has the power to change them. By placing our trust in Almighty God rather than our own strength, we unlock divine, boundless potential that far exceeds our highest hopes or requests. God is powerful enough to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ever ask or think.       When we trust God and seek his divine power and use the spiritual authority He has given us, we can command our obstacles to move, and they will. Today, if you are faced with a burning issue, let go and let God. When you are faced with a challenging circumstance, be still, knowing that God is capable. Cast your cares upon ...

This Massive Obstacle

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Mark 11:19-26 Worship song: Move Mountain   Meditation:      Upon noticing the fig tree had completely withered from the roots, Peter pointed out to Jesus that the tree he cursed had died. Jesus immediately saw the perfect opportunity to teach Peter and the rest of the disciples about faith, prayer, and forgiveness. He instructed them to speak directly to the mountains and commanded them to move. It takes faith as small as a mustard seed for our mountains to crumble. This is an indication that when unwavering faith is exercised we can conquer obstacles. Jesus assured the disciples that any prayer request made with total, unwavering trust in God would be granted.       Nevertheless, our prayers for grace are only effective when we release others from the debt of their offenses against us. Jesus emphasizes the need to forgive those who trespass against us so that our Father in Heaven will forgive us...

Words can Either Bless or curse

Good morning Scripture reading: James 3: 5-12 Worship song: Ancient Words   Meditation:      James, a servant of God, while observing the behavioral trend of those around him, realized that their tongue is a very unruly member of the body and cannot be tamed. The words that proceed out of the mouth are cause for concern, as the effective power of words can uplift and then later tear down what they have erected. This operation of the tongue acts contrary to the will of God and is therefore deemed unacceptable. Words can be a lethal weapon, powerful enough to damage the character of others, stir up anger, condemn, curse, and destroy the spirit and self-esteem of those around us. Likewise, the tongue can also be used to build, uplift, motivate, comfort, praise, and help others in making the right decisions.       As children of God, our words should strengthen and motivate those with whom we come in contact. Therefore, no harmful words shou...

Actions Have Consequences

By

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 1 Worship song:  Who God Says I Am   Meditation:      The Amalekite’s fabricated account of taking Saul's life in battle was an attempt to present himself as a hero in David's eyes. He was likely aware of Saul's relentless pursuit of David and therefore presumed that David would rejoice over his death and reward him. Rather than celebrate, David responded with genuine grief, mourning for King Saul whom he esteemed as the Lord's anointed. By claiming to have killed Saul to win David's favor, the Amalekite sealed his own fate and was executed for confessing to the crime.       We are instructed in Ephesians 4:25 to put away lying and speak the truth one to another, recognizing that persistent liars face eternal condemnation. Proverbs 12:22 makes it clear that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who speak truth are his delight. The Lord hates a lying tongue and a false witness....

It Flows For Me

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 9 Worship song: Unworthy of the Blood   Meditation:      Throughout biblical history, the shedding of blood has been directly connected to atonement, emphasizing the severe consequences of sin and the costly price of redemption. Unlike the old covenant, which required continuous blood sacrifices to temporarily cover sin, the New Covenant offered a one-time sacrificial offering through the blood of Jesus, providing a permanent cleansing that removes the stain of sin and maintains ongoing purity. Both the old and new covenants emphasize that sin causes separation and requires a sacrifice of life to restore fellowship with God.       Jesus' declaration in Matthew 26:28 clearly affirms that His death establishes a new promise, replacing the old rituals with a complete forgiveness that washes away the sins of all who believe. We are redeemed not with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Ch...

Vested with the Authority

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 10:18-20 Worship song: Step On The Enemy   Meditation:      Jesus gave his disciples authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and to overcome the power of their enemies. The same power is also given to believers, and we have the right and are at liberty to exercise this authority over serpents and every enemy. Revelation 12 tells us that the serpent is Satan and his cohorts of darkness, working together to deceive the whole world. However, we have no reason to be dismayed or discouraged for God has given us the authority to defeat our enemies. God has given greater power to the seed of a woman. The seed of the woman is the children of God, those who believe and accept Jesus Christ, and the seed of the enemy is Satan and those working along with him to defeat believers.       Whenever the enemy strikes, remember that you are given authority and power to defeat his purpose. Remember that whatev...

Trading Places

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 16:19-31 Praise song: He welcomes the beggar   Meditation:      If you were allowed to live someone else's life, who would you pick?   While many are drawn to the popular celebrities, others are captivated by the luxury of the rich and powerful. I doubt anyone would willingly trade places with the severely physically afflicted or poverty-stricken.       In St. Luke 16, Jesus uses the story of the rich and the beggar to illustrate a fundamental truth highlighting that earthly wealth does not indicate divine favor, showing that the self-indulgent rich will face divine judgment, while the faithful poor will receive eternal comfort. The rich man lives in extreme luxury, dressing in fine clothes and feasting daily. At his gate lies a beggar named Lazarus, covered in sores and starving, hoping to eat even the scraps that fall from the rich man's table. The poor beggar believed in Jesus Ch...

God Does Not Change

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 1:10 -12 Worship song: Great Is Thy Faithfulness   Meditation:      We live in an ever-changing world, but our God remains the same. Over the years, we have witnessed significant changes as men continue to develop and implement new technologies. Modern technology has drastically changed the way we interact, communicate, and access and transfer information. Moreover, over time, we also experience physical, mental, moral, and spiritual changes. We have also experienced changes in people, culture, relationships, health, and the products we use.       While everything around us is constantly changing, we can find solace in the fact that we serve a God who is unchanging and immutable. God does not decrease nor increase in power because all power belongs to Him. God created the universe but while the universe fades like an old garment, God remains eternal and unchanging. He is the same yesterday, today, ...
