Just Let go

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Ephesians 4

Worship song: Let Go



Meditation:

   Life comes with many challenges, disappointments, hardships, hurt, pain, etc., which sometimes result in someone becoming angry, resentful, and bitter. Some people who are consumed by anger find it difficult to let it go. Most people, if not all, including Christians and non-Christians, struggle to let go of the pain and hurt someone has caused. We sometimes refuse to forgive those who hurt us or caused us grief. But did you know that if you forgive not those who trespassed against you, neither will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses? It, therefore, means we have to forgive others to be forgiven. Forgive, you might say, after all that he or she has done to me. Yes, forgive. Unforgiveness is a prison to the soul that locks the unforgiving person in their self-made prison. Don't get comfortable, contended, and complacent with sin that you fail to realize and acknowledge the danger it poses. When you allow sin to creep into your lives, it gradually festers until it corrupts your mind, heart, thoughts, and ways. Free your heart and mind, release the burden of unforgiveness that weighs you down, and let God have His way. Do not allow your heart to be engulfed by sin. Do not hold on to things that are insignificant and that have no valuable purpose. Let go and experience the peace of God. Is there something you are holding onto that is causing you to be angry, bitter, and hostile? It is time to let it go and let God have His way in your life. 

 Let us pray:

    My invincible, unstoppable God, I surrender to you, O God, my thoughts, my mind, and my heart. Almighty God, if I have wounded a brother or a friend, give me courage, Lord, to make amends. Lord, if I have caused anyone grief or pain, whether intentionally or unintentionally, please forgive me, Lord. If I have caused any to lose their way or caused any to err, please forgive me, Lord. Father, while I beseech you to pardon me and cleanse my unforgiving heart, I also ask that you give me courage and strength to free me of those who I have held captive in my mind and heart. Though I have forgiven them of the hurt and pain they have caused, let not the residue linger in my mind, but let me forget less my thoughts are occupied and consumed by grief and resentment. Father, I give you my life as a living sacrifice and ask that you search me thoroughly, and if there is anything found within me that will hinder me from living a righteous life, I ask you to blot it out, Lord, and purify me according to your will in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my soon-coming King. Amen.

Have a peaceful day. ✌🙏

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.     ...
