Burning Your Bridges

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Philippians 3:7-14

Worship song: If I Got Jesus

 


Meditation:

    Whenever you are moving from one situation to a new one that you think is better than the previous one, people will tell you not to burn your bridges behind you. 'Do not burn your bridges behind you' is an idiom that means to make a decision that is irrevocable and eliminates any possibility of retreating or returning for favor. You would be told not to act in a manner that will cause irreparable harm to your previous relationships or connections, as you may need them later in life. The truth is, there are some relationships and connections that you need to sever, especially the ones not aligned with God's will. You need to burn the bridges that interfere with your relationship with God. Be not deceived, for some have not the knowledge of God, and if you turn away from such, they will corrupt you with their evil communications. It is perfectly feasible to burn the bridges that belong to your former manner of life, which is corrupt through carnal and deceitful desires. Burn those bridges and be renewed in the spirit of your mind so you can put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. You must burn the bridges that make provision for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof so you can freely glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and live according to his desired purpose.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, merciful and gracious, you are exalted above all the earth. Lord, all praises to you because you are the great I AM. My Saviour and redeemer, having put my hands to the plough, living under the shadow of the Almighty God, and dwelling in your secret place, may I never look back to my former lifestyle that was corrupt through deceitful fleshly desires. Almighty God, I will forever be grateful to you for redeeming me from the wreckage of my sinfulness and pray that no temptation will entice me to return to my folly. I am grateful to you, O God, for rescuing me from deceptive philosophy and the spiritual forces of darkness in this world. Vindicate me from any unlawful practices and help me, O God, to live a life pleasing to you through the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a blessed day. 💕🙏

    Forward ever backward never is the guiding thought that should propell one Forward. Such desire must be maintained through fasting and consistent relationship with the Lord.
    Every one deserves the best for their lives even under severe challenges one hold on in the strength of the Lord. When the Lord forgive one sins and remove it as far as the east is from the west, when He open the eyes of one's heart to see as He sees, with that understanding and sight it is sweet walking with Him.
    As Paul mentioned, when he tried to do good evil presented it self and the things that he would not do that he does is a sign of weakness and requires one to seek higher grounds.
    Let us take our lives to the next level. 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...

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.     ...
