The Devil Will Dine With You

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Luke 22:1-23

Worship song: Breaking Strongholds

 


Meditation:

    The prince of this world is a very subtle evil spirit working around and through us by using many different strategies to distract and entice us to yield to temptation. That is why the world is like a battlefield where children of God, both weak and strong, are constantly warring against principalities and powers, against the works of the flesh and the wiles of the devil. Each time we are tempted brings us face-to-face with a moral choice that causes us to either give in or stand firm. Satan does not give up easily, so if we allow him the liberty to take an inch, he will take the whole yard. Every leeway he gets is an opportunity for him to divert our attention from the path that leads to holiness, and in so doing, he grasps the chance to take up residency in our hearts. If we allow Satan, he will dine with us and feed us with that which is forbidden, that which dishonors God. After much persuasion, Eve fell for his cunning, crafty stunt, and so will we if we entertain him. Therefore, heed not to temptation; resist the devil, and he will flee. 

Let us pray: 

    Holy and Righteous Father, the God of creation, the creator who has no rival or equal, I offer my praises unto you, mighty God. Merciful Father, this morning we confess that we have dipped our morsel of bread in the devil's sap and have subjected ourselves to his willpower. And so merciful Father, we sincerely repent, confessing our faults before you, and ask, O God, that you forgive us because we have transgressed against you, Holy One. Abba Father, break the dominion power and the stronghold of the falling angel over our lives. Give us the willpower to stand firm against every strategic plan of the adversary. Almighty God, send us divine help and strength to war against every attack in the spirit realm and the ability to use your word effectively in every spiritual battle, lest we continue to yield to temptation. Sovereign God, holiness is what you require and want from us, so take our heart, O God, and mold it. Take mighty God, our will, and conform it to yours, O Lord and Father; take our mind and transform it, O God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 

 Have a peaceful and blessed day. Keep safe 💕🙏

    Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.
    The battles we fought is not by ourselves but it feels that way when we are away from Him. We must draw night to Him and He will draw night to us. Ones heart and mind is always a battle ground.
    That is why ones mind must be stayed on the Lord and constantly engaged in the things of God. Let us stay focus. God bless.

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.

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.     ...
