Do You Know Him

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 John 2:2-5

Worship Song: Without Him

 


Meditation:

   There is a difference between knowing about someone and truly knowing someone. To know Jesus goes beyond just knowing his biography. It is more than knowing about the miracles he performed, more than just reading about him, listening to someone speak about him, or believing that he was a good teacher. It is more than gathering information about him. Knowing Jesus is not just a partial acquaintance but a deep, intimate knowledge. It is about having a personal relationship with Him and choosing to follow him. 

    Those who know Jesus put their faith in him, trust him, acknowledge their need for him, recognize him as the redeemer of sinners, accept him as their Lord and Saviour, and realize that they cannot do without him. Knowing Jesus is experiencing His love, His grace, and His mercy in our daily lives. Knowing Jesus makes you do things differently by changing your lifestyle from doing ungodly evil deeds to doing good deeds. Knowing Jesus is adapting to that which is godly and having a deep desire to worship him and do that which is holy and accepted by God. 

   Don't be misled by the world's misrepresentation of Him; get to know him for yourself through the word of God. When you delve into the word, your heart's desire to know more about him increases. Once you accept Jesus Christ, nothing can break that friendship. Do not turn him away; get to know more about that man who sacrificed his life for your redemption. You can know about Jesus Christ through the word of God and fellowship with him through worship and prayer.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, I am glad that I took time to listen, to read the word, and to invite you into my life. I am grateful that you have rescued me from the miry clay and planted my feet upon the rock to stay. Lord, at times I falter, but I am grateful that you have not forsaken me. Almighty God, the more I read the inspired word of God, the more I want to know about you who died for my redemption. Saviour, blessed Saviour, I want more of you; I desire a closer relationship with you, a relationship so strong that neither principalities, powers, things present, nor things to come will be able to turn my heart from you. Father, whatever the enemy has placed before me to distract me, to cause me to stumble, or to hinder my commitment to serving you and living my life to please you, I beseech you, Lord, to intercept his plans and weaken its dominion power. Lord may my life be a reflection of Jesus Christ residing in me and may the strong desire I have to learn more about you never fade. Lord, I pray that you will strengthen the relationship I have established with you so it will not be broken, and I beseech you to draw me closer to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 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.     ...
