Consuming Junk Food

By

Scripture reading: 1 Timothy 4:1-6

Worship song: Come Holy Spirit I Need You


Meditation: 

 Most of us choose foods based on taste and not what is good for us. We know that some foods are good for us, even if they don't taste great, and we know that some foods taste delicious but are not good for us. Junk foods consumed in excess can increase the risk of obesity, yet it is the fastest-selling food in food chain restaurants. Junk foods lack the nutritional values required for healthy living and often contain a high level of calories and fat, yet many prefer them over a well-balanced meal. Not only do we consume unhealthy foods, but we also feed our minds with spiritual junk foods. What we read, what we watch, and what we absorb into our minds greatly impact us spiritually. Our spiritual health requires meditating and feasting on the word of God, commitment, determination, faith, discipline, and obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It requires persistence and commitment in prayer and worship. Being spiritually mature requires changing our mindset and training ourselves to become the person God wants us to be. Continue in the doctrine, read the word of God daily, and pray without ceasing, for in doing this thou shall save thyself and those that hear you from consuming spiritually unhealthy junk food. We all have food choices to make. What are you feeding your spirit? May I urge you to feed daily on the word of God, for it is the spiritual nourishment for your mind, heart, body, and soul.


Let us pray:

Sovereign God, holy and righteous, I magnify and worship you, my Heavenly King. My dependable Father and God, please examine my life, my thoughts, my heart, and my mind and flush my system of every unhealthy spiritual junk food that I have consumed. Almighty God, as I feast and meditate upon your words, and as I surrender to worship you, open my spiritual eyes to recognize the lies that I have accepted as the truth. Almighty God, I pray that as I dwell in your presence I will daily consume all that is beneficial for spiritual health. Father, allow transformation to gradually take place as I dine at your banquet table. Consume me, Lord, with the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, breathe upon me, pure flesh anointing within me, filling me up until I overflow in the name of Jesus Christ, my Redeemer and Saviour. Amen. 


Keep safe.🩷

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.     ...
