Running Back to You

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Luke 15: 11-32

Worship song: You Still Love Me

 


Meditation:

    The story of the prodigal son is one of the many parables taught by Jesus that captures the minds of its readers. The truth is we are all prodigal sons and daughters who have wandered away from God and have adapted to living a wasteful and extravagant sinful lifestyle. We walk away from that which is holy to partake of the glitter and the glamour that the world has to offer. We capitalized on our free will choices by making decisions that rebelled against and displeased God. When we have wasted all our substance on careless, ungovernable living, only then will we realize all that is left to partake of is the husk of our sinful deeds. When you acknowledge that your worldly choices are unacceptable and your selfish decisions have caused irreversible harm that cannot be corrected by you, run to the Father, who is waiting patiently for your return. Return hastily to the Father all prodigals; return and receive the treasures the Lord has retained for you. Run to the father while grace and mercy still abound. Run into the arms of a Father who loves you and will not let you go.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, all glory and honor belong to you, O King. I give you thanks, O Lord, for your grace and tender mercies towards us. I am grateful to you, Mighty God, for the unconditional love that you have extended unto us. Emanuel, Abba Father, I glorified you, mighty God, for you have been a faithful God, waiting patiently with outstretched arms to welcome the loss, the wounded, and the prodigal. Father, though we have caused you much grief and pain, you still love us. Almighty God, there is no place I would rather be than in your presence, feasting at your banquet table daily, and so, Father, I am clinging to you with a heart of gratitude. Abba Father, I surrender all to you, so let nothing stand in the way or hinder me as I commit completely to you, Mighty One. I belong to you, Lord, and so I ask you to make me a vessel, make me whatever you want me to be in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior. Amen.

Have a wonderful day. Keep safe. 💕🙏

Good morning Day of Testimony- Learning to Depend on Jesus Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all your ways ac acknowledged him, and he shall direct thy path. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Worship song: Learning to Lean on Jesus   Personal Testimony:      Looking back on my journey, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for where the Lord brought me. Without his boundless grace, I truly would have been lost. His grace is truly sufficient for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Each struggle I face reveals my deep need for Him, and in every moment of lack, He reminds me that He is my ultimate provider. When I feel weary, the gentle hands of Jesus keep me steady and strong.       Every hardship I encounter brings me closer to realizing God's abundant goodness and faithfulness." I gladly boast in my weaknesses, knowing it is through them that the power of Christ shines the brightest. Learnin...

Routine Worship

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St Luke 4:16 Worship song: The Heart of Worship   Meditation:      It is customary for believers in Christ to gather in synagogues and places of worship at least once weekly to fellowship, praise, and honor God, our Creator. These religious practices, if performed without genuine desire and heart engagement, can become mere routines, detached from a life pleasing to God and a desire to glorify and submit to Him. Matthew 15:8 is a reminder that outward expression of faith must align with a heart that is connected with God. When our lives are governed by customary rituals, we become complacent, and the purpose of our worship loses its true value because we are committed to following a routine rather than seeking to develop a closer relationship with God.       Our prayers are mere words uttered from our lips with no inclination from the Holy Spirit. We read the word of God but lack the wisdom to co...

We Are Depending on You

Good morning Day of prayer - Depending on God I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2                          Worship song: Jesus We're Depending on You   Let us pray:      Dependable, capable, and adorable God, I have learned to lean and depend on you to supply my needs according to your riches in glory. You are my strength and my shepherd, I lack nothing. All my help comes from You, Lord, so I put my trust in You. Daily, you provided shelter, divine blood courage, and protection for which I am extremely grateful. Lord, you have calmed the biosterous storms, kept me safe from danger, and allowed me to dance to the rhythm of your faithfulness. Amid adversity and uncertainty, you grant me hope, peace, and happiness. In my distress, your presence calms my anxieties and fears.   ...

Prioritizing Your Desire

By

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 6::25-33 Worship song: I Desire Jesus   Meditation:      What is your greatest desire in life? Is it for worldly gain or the Kingdom of Christ? Your desire to know more about Jesus Christ should be your priority over earthly pursuits. The ultimate aspiration of every believer is to deepen their relationship with Christ and follow the pathway of righteousness. As followers of Christ, we must diligently study God's word to gain knowledge and a profound understanding of his will. Our desire must be to submit fully and surrender to God, our Master.       Reflect on King Solomon's testimony. After experiencing the heights of worldly success, he realized that without a connection to God and a spiritual purpose, even the greatest achievements and pleasures are ultimately meaningless and lead to a sense of emptiness and weariness. King Solomon confessed that all his gain was vanity and vexation of spirit. While we...
