Do Not Fear, Only Believe

By

Happy New Year

Scripture reading: St. Luke 8: 41-42, 49-56

Worship song: Your Cries Have Woken the Master

 


Meditation:

    Jairus's love for his daughter and the fear of losing her compelled him to go to Jesus for help. Jairus was willing to do anything for the sake of his only daughter. In the presence of a large crowd, Jairus, the synagogue leader, knelt at Jesus's feet, pleading with Him to return to his house and heal his sick daughter, who was on the verge of dying. While Jairus waited for Jesus to accompany him home, he received the devastating news that no parent wants to hear. His daughter died before help could reach her. Jesus knew the impact tragic news can have on someone, and therefore He consoled Jairus and told him not to fear but only believe, and his daughter will be healed. Jesus responded to Jairus's desperate cry at the right time. Life was restored to his daughter, and souls were saved. 

    Whatever God does is done on his time, so exercise patience and faith. Jesus never ignored the humble and earnest cries of the destitute. Touching him is all that matters, and our lives will never be the same. As we embrace the new year, God is saying to us, Do not fear; He is with us. Only trust him, believe, and we shall receive.

Let us pray:

    Creator of heaven and earth, we bow down and worship you, O King. Abba, Father, worthy are you, God, and worthy to be praised and adored. There is none as great as you, O Lord, for only you can do the impossible. Almighty God, we call upon you, knowing that you will deliver us from all our troubles. Father, you have proven to us time and time again that you are our great healer, our deliverer, our Comforter, and our provider, so when our situations become overwhelming, when our burdens become hard to bear, lead us to the rock that is higher than us, O God. Almighty God, may we be compelled this morning to seek your divine intervention for those who desperately need your touch. May our cries for deliverance be earnest and sincere enough to draw your attention to our needs, O God. Grant us a healing miracle and breakthrough as we patiently wait upon you to fulfill our desires through Jesus Christ, our Advocate, and Saviour. Amen.

May your latter be greater than your former. 🙏💞

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.     ...
