Sharing the Journey

Good morning Day of Testimony- The Good Old Days But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19   Worship song: Make A Way   Meditation:      Reflecting on my childhood, I   realize that the ability to make the best of a situation constitutes true happiness, rather than merely possessing the best of everything. We did not have much, but we were satisfied and sincerely grateful. On some nights, we had no dinner, and sometimes breakfast was merely dumplings roasted over coal, served with lime leaf tea. To us, lotion was coconut oil, and charcoal was toothpaste. Despite being stuffed with grass and dried banana leaves in flour sacks, our bed was surprisingly comfortable. We spent our evenings playing outdoors until dusk, after which we would gather on the floor, sharing stories by the flickering light of a makeshift kerosene bottle torch. That was a period when families genuinely connected...

Good morning   Day of prayer - Thanksgiving Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalms 100:4 Worship song: Give Thanks   Let us pray:      Sovereign Lord, we acknowledge that none can compare to your matchless worth. You are God alone; no foreign deity nor Baal-zebub, can reign in your stead. This morning I praise you, O God, and worship you as the Almighty, powerful, omnipresent creator of the universe. You are King of all kings and Lord of all lords, the great I am, the Prince of peace, and our Redeeming King. You are worthy, Lord, and deserving of all praise. We are profoundly grateful to you, Lord, for your indescribable gift, which grants us access to the throne of grace.       We thank you wholeheartedly, Lord God, for Your redeeming blood, and Your unconditional, steadfast love that endures forever.

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 22:1-22 Worship song: Build My Life   Meditation:      King David offered a powerful testimony reflecting on God's unwavering faithfulness in responding to his calls during a distressful period. To highlight his gratitude for God's divine protection, King David recited a victorious psalm of celebration, praising God for delivering him from all his adversaries and dispersing those too mighty for him, including Saul. David glorified God recognizing Him as his fortress, rock, deliverer, shield, refuge, Savior, high tower, and the horn of his salvation.       D avid's acknowledgment and appreciation for God's divine interception of the enemy's strategies should motivate us and cause us to reflect on the divine work of God in our own lives, prompting us to offer sacrificial praises for God's protection and strength. We too must acknowledge God as our rock and fortress, our strong tower and deliverer. J...

Trademark of Greatness

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 18:1-4 Worship sing: The Greatness of Our God   Meditation:      According to Merriam-Webster, greatness is defined as the quality of being distinguished, or exceptionally skilled, often characterized by superior achievement, impact, or magnitude. It signifies possessing remarkable ability, holding a high rank, or demonstrating outstanding importance, distinction, and influence in a specific field, such as leadership, art, or service. However, from a biblical perspective, the concept of greatness differs from the worldly interpretation.       Jesus teaches that true greatness is exemplified by becoming a servant, distinguished by love, sacrifice, and character, often demonstrated by prioritizing others. The disciples' curiosity led them to enquire who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus response likely came as a surprise when he stated that whoever humbles himself as a little ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 12-13 Hymn: God Will Take Care Of You Medita tion:      Abram's story exemplified his unwavering faith and obedience to God, despite encountering numerous trials and challenges. Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham, was directed to leave Haran and journey to Canaan, the land of promise. He did not question God's plan; rather he obeyed and departed from his hometown, taking his family and nephew with him. Abram's journey was never without challenges. Being sent by God does not mean you will not encounter any hardship, but God promises He will take care of you.       In Canaan, an unforeseen famine struck, prompting Abraham to flee and sojourn in Egypt to escape the devastating impact of the widespread food shortage. Despite beginning with limited wealth in Haran, by the time he departed Egypt, Abraham had accumulated significant wealth in cattle, gold, and silver. Success is seldom achieved witho...

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 involves placing trust and confidence in God, believing that He will acknowledge His promises. In Hebrews 11, the patriarchs of faith from the Old Testament obtained a good report by trusting in God's promises. Upon accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, our faith journey commences.       Faith is essential to the Christian life; for without faith we cannot please God. It is vital for our spiritual development that we cultivate a strong relationship with God by trusting in His plans and believing His promises. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. By actively exercising faith, you will be able to overcome your ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Job 19 Worship Song: You've Already Won   Meditation:      During a critical period in Job's life when he required support from those most dear to him including family and friends, they abandoned him and became like enemies. Job lamented that his close friends hated him and those he loved turned their backs on him. They forsook their duty of loyalty, leaving him feeling completely isolated. In his distress and despair, Job endured relentless and harsh accusations from those who came to comfort him. Job perceives God as his persecutor, bringing destruction upon his life and stripping him of his dignity, rendering life’s journey dark and hopeless.       Despite these circumstances, Job maintains unwavering faith, declaring that he knows his Redeemer lives and that he will stand on the earth. He believes that even after his skin is destroyed, he will see God in his flesh. He profoundly affirms that death is n...

These missions are divinely designed to lead individuals towards a peaceful and secure relationship with God.  ...
