The Birth of Jesus Christ

Season greetings

Scripture reading: Isaiah 53

Worship song: Emmanuel

 


Meditation: 

    Bible Scholars and historians are still trying to determine the date of Jesus's birth. It has been a point of debate for centuries. Though His time of birth was not recorded in any of the four gospels, some scholars believe he was born in August. There are speculations from other scholars who surmise Jesus' birth took place in May. Others theorize Jesus was born in June, while others believe the date is in April. There might not be a recorded date of his birth, but we do know he was born, he was crucified, and he was resurrected. We know Jesus came to save and to call sinners to repentance. His blood was shed for the remission of our sins so we can have life and have it more abundantly. 

    We do know Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light; no one can come to the Father except through Him. He is our waymaker, our healer, our provider, and our miracle-working God. He is our burden bearer and the giver of life. He is our friend who sticks closer than a brother, our shepherd, our Lord, and our King. He is the only door to salvation. Do not turn Him away. Do not let this opportunity pass you by; He is just a prayer away.

Let us pray:

    Mighty God, I may not know your exact date of birth, but I do know all my sins are forgiven, and I am redeemed, bought with the price you paid. Lord Jesus, because of your sacrificial offering, I am no longer bound by my sins. I am now heir and joint heir with you. Jehovah God, words are not enough to express how much I appreciate your sacrificial death for the remission of our sins. Lord, you pay a gruesome price for my cause, and for that I am grateful. I pray that my gratefulness for your sacrificial love, grace, and mercies will be reflected in my obedience to do your will. Mighty God, I trust and depend on you to keep me rooted and grounded, steadfast, and focused on you. Mighty God, keep me near the cross, and do not let me slip into the coma of my sins. Thank you, Daddy Jesus, for nailing my sins on the cross. Thank you, Lord, for it is by your stripes that I am made whole, and it is your love that breaks the chain that bound me. Lord, I give thee thanks for renewed strength, peace, and the opportunity to reconcile and make right all my wrongs through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Happy holiday. 🎉🎊🙏

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.     ...
