Prone to Make Mistakes

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 7

Hymn: Come Thou Fount

 


Meditation:

    While we traverse this earth, we are prone to do what is displeasing in the sight of God, though sometimes not intentionally or with any awareness. We do the right things at times, but other times, we fail and fall short. We sin and we make mistakes. We are easily angered and sometimes display boisterous behavior. We are reminded in Ephesians 4:26 that we can be angry, but we should not sin, not let the sun go down on our anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Paul, in the book of Romans, also admitted that he didn’t always do the right thing. While desiring to do what was right, he found himself doing what was wrong instead. He sensed a war being waged inside his mind, but these struggles helped him realize why he needed to turn to God. In the battles that rage inside us, we experience victory as we surrender our lives to Jesus and make Him our Lord. If we make mistakes, we should not give up or be discouraged. We all make mistakes, and we all experience temptations and fall short. 

    We can’t win this battle on our own; we need the help of our Saviour. God can help us live in victory. We need to “be strong in the Lord” and put on “all of God’s armor” (Ephesians 6:10-11). We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and draw on His strength. We should seek to draw closer to God and humble ourselves before Him. We are prone to wander from the fold and from the God we love, so we should constantly be in prayer and trust God to equip us with His power and help us overcome our struggles. If you fall short or make mistakes, do not give up or throw in the towel. A righteous man falls seven times and rises again. Allow the Lord to direct your steps and lean not on your understanding.

 

Let's pray:

    Loving Father, I humbly come before You with a heart burdened by the mistakes we often make. Lord, we acknowledge that we are prone to making mistakes, and we have failed you so many times. Father, we have sinned and come short of your glory, but Lord, in your wrath, extend mercy. Father, many times when we try to do good, evil presents itself. Remove, O God, evil far from our hearts; let it not reside in our mortal bodies. Tabernacle with us, Mighty God, and do not allow evil desires to dominate and control us. Lord, let our lives be a reflection of your righteousness and holiness. Father, show us the areas of our lives that need to be placed under your subjection and forgive, purify, and cleanse us, O God, from all unrighteousness. Take our wandering hearts, O God, and seal them for your courts above in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Fill us with Your Spirit and help us live in victory in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 

 

Shalom.

    Prone to fail or fall are the weaknesses we suffer in this arm of flesh. This is why when one embarked on the Christian journey a strong relationship must be established. Hence the encouragement of Peter after 3000 souls come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, continue in the Apostles doctrine. One must continue reading the word, fasting, prayer, and fellowship with the believers. One can become hardened and fall away in sinfullness. Having done all to stand, stand.

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.

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.     ...
