Consistency is Required

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 15:58 Worship song: My worship   Meditation:      Consistency is the steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, form, etc., or always behaving in the same manner. It is often seen as the ability to sustain effort despite external forces. For example, for athletes to succeed, every drill, sprint, exercise, and practice is tailored to individual needs to maximize efficiency, increase speed, and build strength. They train vigorously and consistently to maintain fitness and shape.       As children of God, we are called to uphold moral standards, nurture a disciplined mindset, and cultivate a desire for consistency. We must commit ourselves to regular worship, prayer, and studying the Word, maintaining deep fellowship, steadfastness, being unmovable, and always abounding in the work of God. Consistency, sincerity, and dedication are vital for spiritual development. It is essential to rem...

Do You Know Him?

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: 1 John 2:2-5 Worship Song: Without Him   Meditation:      There is a difference between merely knowing about an individual and becoming acquainted with that person. Knowing Jesus goes beyond merely understanding his biography. It is more than knowing about the miracles he performed, more than reading or hearing about him, or believing that he was an exemplary teacher. It involves more than gathering information. Knowing Jesus is not just a partial acquaintance but a deep, intimate knowledge. It means having a personal relationship with Him, making a conscious choice to follow Him.       Those who truly know Jesus place their faith in him, trust him, acknowledge their dependence on Him, recognize Him as the Redeemer of sinners, accept Him as their Lord and Savior, and realize their need for His presence daily. Knowing Jesus involves experiencing His love, His grace, and His mercy every day. It compels one t...

Courage Is Not the Absence of Fear

By
Image
Good Morning Scripture reading: Joshua 1:5-9 Worship song: Fear Has No Power   Meditation:      President Franklin D. Roosevelt's renowned declaration that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" was a rallying cry delivered during his inaugural address on March 4, 1933. He urged a despairing nation to reject paralyzing panic and confront the Great Depression's challenges with steadfast resolve. He emphasized that panic and despair were greater obstacles to recovery than the economic crisis itself. There comes a moment when we must venture into unfamiliar territory or take on new assignments requiring encouragement.       After Moses' death, Joshua became the new leader, tasked with guiding Israel into Canaan. This responsibility demands unwavering courage to faithfully adhere to divine law and guidance to lead Israel, a nation characterized by rebellion. The Lord encouraged Joshua to be brave and strong. Do not panic or worry ab...

Bring Me Word Again

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 2:1-16 Worship song: Hide Me Under Your Blood   Meditation:      King Herod and the citizens of Jerusalem were profoundly disturbed upon hearing the wise men's announcement of the birth of the future king. Herod promptly summoned the religious leaders together to find the precise location prophesied as the birthplace of the Messiah, not out of a desire to honour or worship the child, but to eliminate Him under the pretence of reverence. He was terrified that the newborn, proclaimed king of the Jews, would dethrone him. Discovering that the wise men had deceived him, Herod, determined to eliminate his potential rival, ordered the execution of all male children aged two and under in and around Bethlehem, hoping the intended victim would likely be among the deceased.       However, his scheming failed when both the wise men and the Messiah's parents, were warned in dreams to flee from Herod. Despi...

Cause For Concern

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 21: 6-28 Worship song: If Not For Grace   Meditation:      Current societal events provide significant cause for concern, as humanity continues to alter God's creation, driven by personal pride. The rapid transformations occurring in our world and among individuals are astonishing; however, they serve as a reminder that these events were foretold and must come to pass. Men forsake the natural use of women, consumed by their lust; men engaging in unnatural acts with men, working that which is considered unseemly; and women behaving likewise. Driven by greed, hatred, and deceit, many people have become so consumed by immorality and malice that they no longer realize their minds are entirely corrupted.       Through idol worship and relentless self-indulgence, they have drifted completely away from God's commandments. They have transformed into proud, spiteful boasters who hate God and invent new way...

Show Mercy

By
Image
Good morning Scripture: St. Luke 10:25-37 Worship song: Someone To Care   Meditation:      Demonstrating mercy requires taking practical, compassionate action to assist those in need, regardless of their background or identity. During the time of Jesus, Jews and Samaritans harbored deep mutual hostility. Nevertheless, the Samaritan did not allow cultural, racial, or religious differences to impede him from providing aid. Among us, there are many priests and Levites, but also some good Samaritans.       We all encounter challenges that may cause us to feel disheartened at times, and it is often tempting to look away when we see someone in distress. While it may seem easier to ignore, walk on the other side, and keep going, we cannot profess love for God if we refuse to help or show mercy to those in need.       If we say we love God and disregard the needs of our brothers and sisters, we are perceived as liars. Our lov...

Running Back To You

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15: 11-32 Worship song: You Still Love Me   Meditation:      The parable of the prodigal son is among the many teachings taught by Jesus that deeply resonate in the minds of its audience. In our individual journey, each of us has at times acted like the prodigal son. We have all deviated from God's path, exchanging His presence for a wasteful lifestyle driven by selfish decisions. We may have abandoned what is sacred to indulge in the allure and the glamour that the world has presented.       We misused our God-given free will by making decisions that displeased and rebelled against God. When we have squandered all our resources on careless, ungovernable living, only then will we realize all that is left is the remnant of our sinful deeds.       When you finally acknowledge that your worldly pursuits have resulted in irreversible damage, remember that you don't have to face it ...

Head of the household

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 5 Praise song: Power of prayer   Meditation:      The role of women has changed significantly over time. While women, traditionally seen as housewives, now undertake a broader range of responsibilities, men must still fulfill their God-ordained role as head of the household regardless of whether or not they are currently executing this role. There position is not dependent on their actions,   but on God's divine appointment. Whether a man is saved or unsaved, lazy or diligent, responsible or irresponsible, their role as the head of the household is unchangeable because it was established by God, not man.       The head of a household is accountable before God for the well-being and provision of his household. Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church, maintain their role as providers, and be spiritual role models within their homes. As 1 Timothy 5:8 states, "If any m...
