Vested with the Authority

By

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

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, ...

The conclusion

By
Image
Good morning   Scripture reading: Daniel 4 Praise song: Wonderful, Merciful Savior   Meditation:      After enduring a severe seven-year ordeal that humbled his immense pride, King Nebuchadnezzar reached the final conclusion that the God of heaven is supreme. He publicly declares to all nations of God's power and justice, acknowledging that the Most High sovereignly rules over human kingdoms. He was numbered among the greatest and proudest of men, yet God humbled him to a point where he recognized and acknowledged God as the true king.       Nebuchadnezzar thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God had wrought towards him. He said, "How great are his signs and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation." Nebuchadnezzar praised, honored, and applauded the King of Heaven for His everlasting dominion. He ascertains that the works of the ...

Divine Action

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 7 Worship song: Noah's Ark   Meditation:      Acting on God's instruction, Noah built an ark to serve as a single structure providing safety from the devastation of the flood. God spared not the whole world, but saved Noah, an obedient servant of God and a preacher of righteousness. Once Noah, his family, and all the animals were safely inside, God Himself shut the Ark’s only door, sealing them in. The single door to the ark signifies that there is only one way to salvation which is Jesus Christ.       Just as the Ark served as the sole, divine refuge from the floodwaters, Christ is the only safe haven from divine judgment. By choosing Jesus, the door, we are guaranteed eternal life. There are no other alternative ways, religions, or personal efforts to achieve safety from judgment except through Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. He is the sole path to salvation and the source of e...

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 1:26-27 Worship song: Cover Me   Meditation:      Words are powerful tools that can either shatter or strengthen our confidence, character, and peace of mind. Some of us know what it’s like to let others’ negativity define our potential. Numerous individuals are adversely impacted by the heavy burden of being told they will never amount to anything, they are unlovable and unworthy.         Unlike human speech, God’s divine words are flawless, perfect, and sound. His words act as protection for those who take refuge in Him. We are fearfully and wonderfully made in the likeness and image of God, reflecting His power, wisdom, and care. His enduring and infallible truth protects our minds and our hearts. When you are tempted to believe the negative utterances about your value and purpose, remember that you are God’s masterpiece for divine purpose.       Let us combat negat...

Subdue Wandering Thoughts

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 4:8 Worship song: Still My Mind   Meditation:      Have you ever felt like you are drowning, sinking in your own thoughts of overthinking? The mind is the powerhouse of your thoughts, the place of conflict where uncontrolled thoughts create a gateway for negative thoughts to germinate and flourish. Most of the things that manifest in our minds are a figment of our imagination. Without control, the mind turns into a battlefield where thoughts generate anxiety, fear, and worry from false scenarios.       We are encouraged by Apostle Paul to intentionally focus on and fill our minds with things that are pure, lovely, admirable, and of good report, rather than letting our thoughts wander to discouraging or toxic things. We must shift our attention away from unproductive, anxious thoughts to focus on excellent things by aligning them with God's truth. To keep our hearts with all diligence requires s...

Spiritual Junk Food

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Timothy 4:1-6 Worship song: Come Holy Spirit, I Need You   Topic: Spiritual Junk Food      Most of us choose foods based on taste rather than what is good for us. Even with widespread knowledge of the health risks, consumers frequently choose taste and convenience over nutrition, driving high sales for indulgent fast food despite the availability of healthier alternatives. Junk foods are preferable to many despite their failure to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Just as physical, unhealthy food harms the body, the content we consume through media, reading, and environmental exposure acts as spiritual junk food that damages our souls.       You can cultivate a spiritually healthy diet by immersing in God's word, and guard your heart by consciously feeding your spirit with truth, wisdom, and obedience to God. It requires persistence and commitment in prayer and worship. Being spiritua...
