Relying on GPS

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 3:5-6 Meditation Song: Show Me Your Ways   Meditation:      Centuries ago, travelers depended on maps and compasses for navigation. However, with the use of modern technology, the Global Positioning System (GPS) was started by the United States Department of Defense in 1973. The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) offer geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver located anywhere on or near the Earth, provided there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more satellites. GPS is made up of three different components, known as segments, that work together to provide location data, velocity, and time information for air, sea, and land travel.       Despite human inventions, none are as effective and accurate as our Lord. The most superior GPS available that will never lose its signal is God's plan of Salvation (GPS). For this GPS to function, one must establish a connection with Je...

That Little Fox

By
Image
Good Morning   Scripture reading: Song of Solomon 2:15 Worship song: Here's My Heart Lord   Meditation:      King Solomon cautions us to address the minor transgressions before they ruin the vines that bear tender grapes. These small wrongdoings are detrimental as they attack the roots and stems, which are the lifeline of the plant. The little foxes symbolize sins that burrow into our lives, the sins we neglect to confront. They represent the works of the flesh that oppose the fruit of the Spirit. These seemingly insignificant acts that we disregard, the deceptions and lies that we accept may appear harmless yet have the potential to cause significant damage to our spiritual well-being.       Ignoring habitual sins paves the way to greater offenses, eroding character and stunting spiritual growth. Just as a tiny spark can kindle a large fire so too a small willful sin defiles the conscience. Be vigilant of the little foxes lurking i...

Seek Advice From The Right Source

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Kings 1 Worship song: Same Power   Meditation:      Acting on divine command delivered by an angel, Prophet Elijah stopped the messenger sent by King Ahaziah to inform him of the king's fate for defying the God of Israel. King Ahaziah’s decision to consult the god Baal-zebub concerning his health, rather than seeking divine assistance from the God of Israel resulted in a divine judgment that determined his destiny. The king failed to seek healing from the only God who is capable of restoring his health. He demonstrated a lack of faith and disregard for God's sovereignty and Omnipotent power choosing instead to trust the advice of baal gods.       We are cautioned in Leviticus 19 to avoid those who possess familiar spirits and refrain from seeking after wizards because they will defile us spiritually. Additionally,   Deuteronomy 18 forbids consulting familiar spirits and wizards, considering the...

Get Rid of The Dregs

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Zephaniah 1:12 Worship song: Forever At Your Feet   Meditation:                Dregs represent the undesirable, the most worthless, or the solid particles that tend to settle at the bottom of some liquids. One can also consider dregs as the residues or sediments that remain after a process of separating the wanted from the unwanted. Sin is the unfiltered sediment in our lives. It has no value other than to separate us from our Heavenly Father and create a blockage detrimental to our spiritual growth. It will destroy our communication, prayer life, and relationship with Jesus Christ. Sin is the stubborn lees we fail to cleanse, the sediment that clings to the depths of our souls.       The dregs that settle at the bottom of your coffee, tea, or other beverages are wasted substances that are never consumed. Why then, do we accept sin and remain comfortable when it is only corrup...

But God

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Titus 3:1-7 Worship song: Try A Little Kindness   Meditation:      We were once deeply immersed in evil and enslaved by our flesh, rejecting God's ways, but God, in His great love, intervened. Our salvation, sanctification, and redemption are entirely the result of His grace and mercy, not our own righteousness. This realization should dictate how we treat everyone still struggling in the world. We were once debased and deprived by sin but are now saved, redeemed, and sanctified by His grace.       If we profess to be holy and righteous without sin, the word reminds us that there is none righteous, no, not one, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but those who received him are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. Human goodness is fleeting and dependent; without divine grace, human hearts naturally incline toward sin, regardless of how righteous ...

Hope For The Sinner

By
Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 18: 20-32 Worship Song: There Is Hope In The Lord   Meditation:      The Bible has many intriguing stories of how God transformed the lives of patriots who became mighty men for his glory and purpose. Moses tried to hide a murder by fleeing, yet God found him in the wilderness to deliver Israel. Saul, a brutal persecutor of Christians, was transformed into a servant of the gospel. Even David, a murderer and adulterer, was completely converted by God’s power into a man after His own heart. Time and again, God turns unlikely, flawed individuals into instruments of his purpose. As long as you encounter God, you will never remain the same.      Jehovah  God will turn your hardened heart into a soft, loving one and fill you with a fresh spirit. You are never too marred with sin that the Lord cannot use you. As long as the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all the statutes of...

Life After Salvation

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading:  Ephesians 2 Worship song: Red Letters   Meditation:      Before salvation, all unredeemed individuals remained in spiritual darkness, constrained by habits and thoughts that oppose God’s purpose. We were outsiders to God’s promises, living without hope and disconnected from Him in the world. Upon accepting Christ, we receive the gift of salvation, signifying a new life, seen as the beginning of eternal life, which pertains to our spiritual well-being and our relationship with God. This new life is redemption from sin's dominion, reconciling humanity with God and ensuring eternal happiness.       Life after salvation brings about a profound spiritual transformation, wherein a believer's past, mistakes, and sinful nature are replaced by a new life guided by the Holy Spirit. This new life is obtained through repentance and confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believing in your heart that ...

Overcome Temptation

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 4: 1-13 Worship song: God Of All My Days   Meditation:      Satan and his demonic forces were actively monitoring Jesus, gathering information to use as a weapon against Him. Recognizing the exhaustion of His flesh after forty days of fasting, and knowing that Jesus was at his weakest point, the enemy seized the opportunity to initiate intense temptation. Realizing his planned mission failed, Satan retreated temporarily to wait for a more favorable moment. The enemy plans to attack believers and try to interrupt God's plan for us. No child of God is exempt from temptation; and no temptation will overtake you except what is common to humans, however, God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.       Whenever you are tempted, God will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. Be vigilant against the enemy's strategies: demonic forces are deployed to monitor o...
