Working His Purpose Out

By

Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 8:26-31 Worship Song: God Will Work It Out   Meditation:      It is a misconception that accepting Jesus removes all life's problems; the reality is that faith brings inner peace and spiritual growth, not an easy, trouble-free life. In this world, we will be tested by the enemy, and we will have tribulation, but we must remain courageous and be of good cheer for he who dwells within us has overcome the world. God did not promise we would not encounter hardship. He did not promise we would have a perfect life here on earth. What he promises is his peace and that he will never leave nor forsake us. Consider Job, a man of integrity, seen by God as perfect and upright, a man who eschewed evil, yet faced unimaginable trials as detailed in the book of Job.       Every situation we encounter, whether it is sickness, tribulations, financial struggles, relationship issues, or spiritual battles, will ultimate...

A Jealous Eye

By

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 18 Worship song: This Is Amazing Grace   Meditation:      King Saul's expression of love for David turned into a jealous rage, triggered when the people applauded David publicly for his victorious defeat of the Philistines. Driven by an envious and malicious spirit, King Saul turned against David, viewing his servant as a direct threat to his throne. Despite recognizing that God had shifted His favor to David, a fearful and jealous Saul made repeated, failed attempts to murder his successor, fueled by intense rage.       When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. The Lord will preserve the souls of his people and protect us from all evil. No force can overpower those shielded by the Almighty; in times of disaster, the believer rests in divine safety. Do not fear your enemies for if God is on your side, no one can truly stand against you....

Respond With Urgency

Good morning Scripture reading: Esther 4 Worship song: Hear my Cry, O Lord   Meditation:      Deeply disturbed by Mordecai sitting at the King's gate in mourning apparel, Queen Esther immediately sent him new clothes to replace his sackcloth, but he refused the garment. She later discovered his actions were a public display of grief over a written royal decree instigated by Haman to destroy all Jews. Too often, we jump to conclusions and hasten to judge, criticize, or condemn others' actions without awareness of their motives.       After uncovering the truth, Queen Esther initiated a mandatory three-day fast for all the Jews, declaring that she would break the protocol and enter the King's chamber, fully prepared to accept the fatal consequences that might follow.   Mordecai's act of public disgrace and Esther's bravery, led to transforming a hopeless, situation into a miraculous victory for the Jewish people.     ...

Hope In King Jesus

Good morning Scripture Reading: Psalm 62 Worship Song: There Is Hope   Meditation:      What a privilege it is to bask in God's presence and celebrate the hope we have in Him. When life gets rough and the pressures seem unbearable, remember that we have a comforting Savior who shines His light in the darkest hour. When sorrow is your companion and the storm is raging, let us joyfully turn to Jesus who comforts us in all our tribulations. Don't let the storms of life shatter your peace. Lean on Jesus, the source of true hope, and let Him turn your sorrow into lasting joy and your anxiety into divine peace.       When loneliness creeps in and your friends are no longer around, find solace in the steadfast love of Jesus who is always near and faithful. He is our strong tower, our refuge, our deliverer, and anchor amid devastation. Do not be dismayed but instead be inspired by the hope that flows from our Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, He is inde...

Covered With A Mask

By

Good morning Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:30-32  Worship Song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      A minister once said we mask bitterness as memory, defend it as justice, and store it as debt owed. Bitterness is like residue that builds up over time from accumulated anger, resentment, pain, or perceived unfairness, ultimately leading to unforgiveness. Consider bitterness as a plant with its leaves looking green but its root is rotting from fungal infection. Eventually, the entire plant will collapse. You can be called, gifted, and anointed, ministering and winning souls for the Kingdom of God, but still foster a heart of bitterness.       The Apostle Paul boldly urges us in Ephesians 4:31 to put away all bitterness and wrath. He further advises us to reject and renounce our former ways, which are tainted by sinful habits. The Holy Spirit cannot freely work in a life that is holding onto malice, anger, and unforgiveness. Neither wi...

Feeling Discouraged

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Joshua 1:1-9 Worship Song: Bridge Over Troubled Water   Meditation:      To be discouraged is to feel deprived of hope, courage, and confidence, or to feel disheartened. Discouragement is a common daily challenge that severely impacts our faith, spiritual and physical well-being, leaving us feeling defeated and hopeless. After the death of Moses, God commanded Joshua to be strong, courageous, and not to be dismayed or afraid. Joshua needed that reassurance to lead the people to the promised land.       In Deuteronomy 31 and Joshua 1, God encourages us to be strong and courageous. He reassures us not to be afraid because He will never leave nor forsake us. When you feel discouraged, find comfort in God's word and be assured that the Lord promised to prosper us and not harm us, and give us hope and a future. No matter the challenges you encounter, let nothing move you to despair; rejoice in the truth and pro...

Experience God in Your Brokenness

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 21:9-20 Worship song: Carry Me   Meditation:      Rejected and left alone in the wilderness, Hagar encountered a messenger of God who comforted her by assuring her Ishmael would become the father of a mighty nation. Her experience proves that God cares for the broken and abandoned, bringing them hope and restoration through his grace. God specializes in mending what is broken. He takes our ashes and transforms them into beauty, offering comfort in our darkest moments. He does not abandon broken people; He draws closer when we reach our breaking point, offering comfort, hope, and assurance.       He tenderly heals shattered hearts and binds up every wound providing emotional, physical, and spiritual renewal. We have the assurance that God watched over the desolate and saved those with a contrite and humble spirit. He gives power to the faint, and increases the strength of the weak. If you feel aband...

You Are exposed

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:10-18 Worship song: Keeping Me Alive   Meditation:      The Weather Channel provides critical updates to help the public navigate daily activities and safety risks. In response to shifting climate patterns, people are increasingly adapting their clothing choices to protect their bodies from the effects of extreme weather. Just as we actively safeguard our physical bodies from harm, we must treat the protection of our spiritual well-being as an immediate priority.       Divine protection covers you from the snare of the fowler, from the noisome pestilence, and from every weapon of the enemy. True divine protection is only fully realized by those who live circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. When you are walking contrary to God’s will, you reject His covering, leaving you defenseless against spiritual attack. Turning away from God and embracing ungodly ways causes you to lose spiritual ...
