The Greatest of Them All

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Matthew 22:34-40

Worship song: Give Me A Heart Like Thine

 


Meditation:

    While Jesus was teaching the multiple, a mischievous pharisee decided to tempt him by asking which commandment was the greatest. Jesus responded by telling him the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord God with all thine heart, mind, and soul, and secondly, to love his neighbor as himself. Jesus also added that these two took priority over all other commandments, and all the laws and prophets relied on these two vital commandments. As created beings, we are expected to love the God who created us more than anything else, and our love must be extended to our fellow men. For if we say we love God and hate our brothers and sister, those whom we rub shoulders with, then it means we lie, and the love of God is not perfected in us. There is no way we can truly love God yet hate those whom we see daily. We are commanded by Jesus to love, and if we love each other, it means God dwells in us and his love is perfected in us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Love cannot be hidden, as it naturally radiates outwardly. Love is kind; endure all things; bearer of all things; not easily provoked; vaunteth not itself; envieth not; thinketh no evil; rejoice not in iniquity nor easily provoked. Love changes everything.

Let's pray:

    My loving Saviour, I give you thanks, mighty God, for your demonstration of love and for teaching us how to love others. Father, while men look at our countenance, you look at our heart, which is concealed from man. Only you, O God, can know the hidden things of the heart because you are the only wise God. Lord, you are the potter, and we are the clay; our hearts are now placed on the surgical table, so I beseech you, mighty God, to do a heart transplant, remove our stony hearts, and give us hearts of flesh. I beseech you, O God, to give us loving, kind, and compassionate hearts; give us a heart like thine, a heart that knows no guile, Almighty God. Father, we worship you with praises, giving thanks for your successful surgical removal and replacement of our hearts in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Have a peaceful day. Keep safe. 💕🙏

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.     ...
