Facing The Judge

By

Scripture reading: St. Matthew 6:14-15

Worship song: Mercy Walked In


Meditation: 

I stood before the judge, head hung low, as charges laid against me were read. Sin stained my garment crimson red. Guilt was written all over my face. My heart was hardened, resulting from the burdens of unconfessed sins. The unwillingness to forgive those who trespassed against me rushes to my memory. I did not lay all my sins at the foot of the cross. I kept them buried deep within me. I could not deny the sins I had committed, and neither did I have valid excuses. I was bound by the shackles of sin. I have failed to surrender all my sins to Jesus Christ and yield to His will. My only response was guilty as charged. After I surrendered and confessed, I was freed from the burden of my past by the judge of compassion, grace, and mercy. Jesus Christ paid the debt for my sins on Calvary's cross, and all that He required of me was to repent, confess, and go and sin no more. Are you bound by the guilt of your sins? Do you find it hard to forgive those who trespassed against you? Confess them all to Jesus Christ and be submissive to Him. He will lift your heavy burden and set you free. When you bow in reverence to pray, forgive, if you have ought against anyone, that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your trespasses.


Let's Pray:

Merciful, gracious God, I am grateful to you for blotting out my transgressions and forgiving all my sins, as I have forgiven those who trespassed against me. I am grateful to you, Almighty God, for you have removed the stony heart within me and given me a heart of compassion—a heart of love, peace, and mercy. Father, as I looked around me, I saw those who needed a touch of compassion and mercy towards others. Father, I ask that you touch them like you have touched me. Purify our hearts, Almighty God, of the sins we fail to surrender to You. Almighty God, remove far from us the burden of sin that weighs us down. Lord, control our minds and purify our thoughts. Father, we place our corrupt, guilty hearts before you. Please cleanse us deep within, O Lord, and fill us with holiness and godliness. Father, let your light shine within us and bring about radiance on the outside so others may see your glory through Jesus Christ, my Lord and King. Amen. 


Peace and love.🩷

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...

Purification of The Heart

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.     ...
