Our Choices have Consequences

By

Scripture reading: Genesis 2: 15-17

Worship song: You Still Love Me




Meditation:

There is only one life we have to live on Earth, and therefore, we need to make wise decisions that will help us navigate our righteous path. Every day, we are required to make choices, whether we want to or not, and the choices we make will determine our destiny. We are given free will choices, and the onus was laid on us to make choices that will be beneficial to our spiritual well-being. Everything we do or say comes from our choices, and our choices determine the standard, value, character, direction, and path to our destiny in life. Most times, we make swift decisions without even considering the impact they will have on our lives or the lives of others. Once a decision has been made and implemented, it is final, and its impact will manifest whether for good or evil. Many people dread making choices because of the fear of failure or making bad choices. We can make choices to accept the Almighty God as our Creator or choose to accept and worship foreign gods. We can either choose to walk in holiness or ungodliness, choose to serve the Lord sincerely, or serve the devil with delight. Whatever choice is made, ensure you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, bearing in mind that every decision has consequences and repercussions.


Let's pray: 

Almighty God, I give you thanks for bringing light into every dark situation. Great are you, Lord, and greatly to be praised. Father, we acknowledge that you have laid upon us free will to make choices and that whatever decisions we make will determine our destiny. Jehovah God, though we are free to choose, we call upon you, mighty God, to help us make the right decisions. Father, sometimes we make detrimental decisions, and the outcome is unfavourable, but I pray, Lord, for your divine intervention. Lead us, Abba Father, and allow your Holy Spirit to assist us in whatever choices we have to make. We need you, Lord, now more than ever to deliver us from the things that look appealing and protect us from influential predators, lest we are persuaded to make the wrong choices in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Keep safe. Blessings.🩷

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.

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.     ...
