What We All Have in Common

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 3:23-26

Worship song: Bring Me Down

 


Meditation:

    It is human tendency to place the rich, the famous, the hierarchy, and the scholars on pedestals, grouping them in a class above all others, but as created beings, we all have one thing in common, and that is we are tainted with sin. The world we live in classifies people according to race, color, creed, cultural status, etc., but in reality, we are all equal in God's sight, created in His likeness and image. Regardless of human differences, whether you are among the upper-, middle-, or lower-class groups, we are all sinners in need of a Savior. No matter our economic, ethnic, or social affiliation, we stand accused as disobedient and equally guilty sinners before our Creator. As part of Adam's race, we are all born spiritually dead in sin and at enmity with God. We are all condemned to die and have fallen short of the glory of God. Nevertheless, we are all granted the opportunity to break free from sin and renounce its stronghold and power over us. Therefore, while the blood is still running warm in your veins, seek the Lord while grace still abounds, and seek him while he may be found and is near because only the surrendered saints will access the Tree of Life and dwell with Jesus Christ forever. 

Let us pray: 

    Merciful, wonderful, savior, blessed redeemer, and friend, I am grateful, mighty God, that we are all equal beings in thy sight. Everlasting Father, I am grateful that your thoughts and ways are higher than ours and that you don't see things as we do. Almighty One, I give you thanks that you have not classified us in accordance to affiliation, status, and race but see us as sinners in need of grace and a Savior. Father, I pray that as we rise to the dawning of the day, we will humble ourselves before you, come down off the pedestal, our pumps and pride, and surrender our all on the altar of sacrifice. Father, whatever state or position we find ourselves in, I pray that we will recognize that all we attain in this life is insignificant without you. May we realize, Lord Jesus, that whether we are rich or poor, black or white, we all have to give an account to you of how we spend the time you have allotted to us. Lead us, Heavenly Father, through the directives of the Holy Spirit in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a blessed day. Keep safe. 💓🙏

During Difficult Moments

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 3:23-25 Worship song: Through The Fire   Meditation:      There will be seasons of pain, brokenness, heartache, and struggles. There will be times when our faith is tested and our hope is shattered. There will be times when we will encounter great tribulation. We will be despised by our fellow men, afflicted, rejected, condemned, and humiliated, but think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that will try you. The Hebrew boys' faith was tested and tried, but they remained resilient, fervent, and steadfast, trusting God and exercising faith while their oppressors maliciously schemed and plotted against them.       Don't think it strange when, as believers, these things happen; don't be alarmed or panic, but rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, you will be numbered among the faithful. Be cognizant of the fact that there is no trial or struggle that y...

The Death of The Wicked

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 33: 1-20 Praise song: Only a Look   Meditation:      All of us have an appointment with death, which we cannot cancel, for all must die. Nevertheless, there is a difference between the death of the sinner and the death of the redeemed. When the redeemed die, they will one day be resurrected to eternal life, but the ungodly to eternal torment in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his cohorts of darkness. While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he cautioned them not to fear those who destroy the body, but rather to fear him who can destroy both soul and body.        Those who die in Christ should not fear death, for death is not their final destiny. Those who die while meddling in their sin and wickedness, refusing to surrender to Christ, will receive the wrath of God as their reward. Jehovah God declares that he finds no joy, no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and no pleasure in the pun...

Seeking The Lost at Any Cost

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety and Nine   Meditation:      After an extensive search for a misplaced document that held significant importance, I experienced an overwhelming amount of frustration and anxiety. Finally, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, though I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I imagine the Lord's feelings when the ones he loved turn away from him and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember we are precious and valuable in God's sight and his love is unconditional. His desire for us is for us to turn from our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly.       God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions. Our shepherd, Jesus Christ, stands ready to guide us away from the path of destruction and lead us out of the wilderness of sin. God ...

An Influenced Mind

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart Oh God   Meditation:      It is important to realize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the performance, attitude, moral standards, conduct, actions, and spoken words of others, whether negatively or positively. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If...
