Dining With The King

By

Good morning

Scripture: St. John 21: 1-13

Praise song: What a Lovely Name

 


Meditation:

    The story of Jesus inviting the disciples to come and dine reminded me of times as kids when we would be outside playing, and Mother would interrupt our fun time by calling us to come inside, and dinner was ready. While the disciples were busy fishing, Jesus was preparing roast fish and bread for breakfast. The disciples were invited by Jesus to come and dine with Him shortly after he had suggested that they cast their net on the other side. To come and dine with the master implies that it was an invitation to sit at the same table, sharing the same meal. Come and dine is a time to fellowship with Jesus. Today, there is an open invitation for you to come and dine with Jesus Christ at the table where the saints of God are fed. If you have labored all your life and all that you have reaped is failure, heartaches, and disappointments, it is time for you to seek Jesus Christ. Come and dine at the master table, and your life will never be the same.

Let's pray:

    My master and savior, Jesus Christ, you are the bread of life; bid us, Lord, to come and dine with you. Lord, lead us to the banquet table where the saints of God are fed. Almighty God, we hunger and thirst for the bread of life, so fill us, O Lord, until we want no more. Almighty God, after we have toiled without any success when we fail at all, we have tried, when the reality of bad decisions plagues us, to bid us, Lord, to feast at your table. Heavenly Father, whenever we become too focused on our failures and loss of dreams, remind us that you came so we can dine and fellowship with you. Abba, Father, whenever we are overwhelmed with the feelings of our failures when we try everything, and everything fails as you did for the fishermen, do it for us, O God, and then bid us to the banquet table already prepared. Heal our broken hearts, O God, and restore unto us joy and peace, which only you can give. Lord, may we learn to trust You completely in every aspect of our lives, exercising our faith in You, your plans, and Your will for our lives in the name of Jesus Christ, the bread of life. Amen.

Have a peaceful day. Be safe. 🙏🙏

    It is a great feeling to be invited to a wedding, dinner, feast, celebration and other events of food and fun, but to be invited by The master,
    None greater because there is always a lesson to learn that will impacts one for life. Let us ask Him to abide with us as we walk with Him. Plenty blessings to you my dear writer.
    🙏🙏

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. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. Help us to rejoice not just in the blessings we receive but in the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died to redeem sinners. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bo...

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.     ...
