The Greatest Sacrifice

By

Scripture reading: Hebrews 9:19-28

Worship song: I Give You My Heart

 


Meditation:

    What are you willing to sacrifice? We often hear that we should give our best offering—in other words, give our best monetary sacrifice. Does giving our best offering guarantee us a place in God's kingdom? Is monetary sacrifice our best and only offering? We look forward to the opportunity to sow seeds and bless ministries, but we should be mindful that while giving, Jesus expects us to sow into the Kingdom of God by surrendering our lives to Him. The greatest sacrifice we can offer to God is our life as a living sacrifice. We must first seek to offer our lives and surrender all to follow Jesus Christ. Giving a huge sum does not guarantee one a place in the Kingdom of God. It is only by committing our lives to God that we are saved and that we will receive the gift of eternal life. Over two thousand years ago, the greatest sacrifice that took place was made by Jesus Christ when he offered His life and shed His blood for the remission of our sins. His sacrificial offering was made willingly to grant us eternal life, peace, healing, redemption from sin, and strength in times of worry, despair, sickness, weakness, and trials. While we bless others with our offerings, remember the greatest sacrifice we can offer is surrendering our lives unto Jesus Christ as our living sacrifice.

 Let's pray:

    Dearest Father, one thing I desire and that will I seek is that those who have an encounter with you, Lord, will be saved. Almighty God, I pray that those who have a zeal for You but are ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their self-righteousness will soon submit themselves to Your righteousness, O God. Father, I pray that our first and foremost desire will be to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice unto you, holy and acceptable unto you, O God. I pray, O God, we will no longer be conformed to the things of the world, but we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds and accept, abide, and conform to your perfect will, O God. Father, I pray that as we give generously and as we bless others with our offerings, we will not just give to earthly causes but surrender our lives to you, O God. I pray, O God, that we will focus our attention on the things that will lead us on the path of righteousness. Father, by your mercies, grant us wisdom to seek that which is above in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. (Child of the King).

                                           Peace and love. Shalom💕🙏

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.     ...
