A Fresh Start (Her Testimony)

By

Scripture reading: 2 Cor. 5:16-21

Worship song: I Will Boast In Christ


Meditation:

She entered the church through the back door and then stared at the congregation with uncertainty. Confused and frustrated, she came to the house of God expecting to find comfort and relief. She was not concerned about how out of place she looked among the well-dressed attendants. Feelings of disdain crept over her, but she ignored them and sat in the far corner, away from everyone. She was contemplating leaving, but her thoughts were halted when the choir dragged her attention to the words of an unfamiliar song, 'Fresh Start.' The words gripped her heart. She dropped to the floor, tears rolling down her eyes as she wept bitterly and surrendered all to Jesus Christ. This marks the beginning of her new life, a life sold out for Jesus Christ. She renounced her old life and welcomed the start of what promises to be a life of hope, peace, and love. Christ has reconciled her to himself, and now she is an ambassador for Christ.

Let us pray:

Everlasting Father, full of grace and mercy, only in you can we find rest, peace, and comfort. Draw those who are blinded by their sinful living closer to you, O God, so they can taste your goodness, grace, and mercy. Mighty God, I pray you will touch someone who is in the valley of decision and who is finding it difficult to make the right choice. Mighty God, I pray for those who feel hopeless, unloved, abandoned, and left to cope on their own. Please, Father God, speak to their hearts and embrace them with your love and compassion. Mighty God, give us compassionate hearts to help the needy and not to turn a blind eye to their needs. Most gracious God, I pray for those of you who are struggling with issues they cannot handle that they will find a way to break free and seek solace in you, O God. Rescue those who are perishing, O God, by your power. Mighty God, I pray that we who are ambassadors for Christ and have reconciled to you will remain steadfast, unmovable, and continue to worship, watch, and pray while waiting in anticipation for the day when you will return. Mighty God, may we, with joy and gladness, help others to surrender and come to you through the power of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ, our soon-coming King. Amen. (Child of the King).

 

Have a great day. Be blessed and 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.     ...
