Encountering Rejection

By

Scripture reading: Isaiah 53

Worship song: I go to the rock

 


Meditation:

Rejection can be painful and harsh, and it can stay with us for a long time. Rejection is a stigma of society that affects most if not all, persons, yet it is something that none of us is ever prepared to deal with. Sad to say, social rejection is prevalent in society and is found even in the house of God. The emotional pain of rejection can leave a permanent scar and alter our mood; it can damage our self-esteem and can also contribute to depression. However, we can find peace and comfort when we seek refuge in the arms of Jesus Christ. If you feel rejected, you are not alone; Jesus Christ, our King and Saviour, encounters the same fate while here on earth. He was abused and rejected by the people whom he served. He brought healing, miracles, redemption, and deliverance to the people, yet they despised and rejected Him. He came to rescue the perishing and care for the dying; he showed us compassion and love, yet many rejected Him. Even today, people are still rejecting Jesus Christ. If you refuse to take on the name of Jesus Christ, refuse to accept Him as your King and Saviour, and refuse His beliefs, then you are among those who have rejected Him. 


Let us pray:

My God, and the rock of my salvation, I run to you, O God, because I need spiritual recharging. Deliver us, Mighty God, from the scheme of the evil one. Abba Father, by the authority invested in us, we come against every spirit of rejection and deem it powerless in the name of Jesus. We declare, mighty God, that the spirit of rejection has no power over us. We stand on your word, Mighty God, and we command every rejection spirit to take its flight. Abba Father, we stand on your word and are reminded that power and dominion were granted from the day of creation to overcome every obstacle and defeat the works of the giants. In moments of rejection, strengthen us, Mighty God, and let the power of your Holy Spirit reign down on us, Father God. Father God, we give you thanks for granting us the power to overcome the world and its cohorts of darkness through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.


Have a wonderful day. 🩷

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

 Day of prayer   O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1   Worship song: Thanks   Let us pray:      Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. Help us to rejoice not just in the blessings we receive but in the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died to redeem sinners. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bo...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
