Position Yourself for Change

Good morning 

Scripture reading:  St. Luke 19:1-10

Hymn: Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul

 


Meditation:

    The scripture above speaks of Zacchaeus, a wealthy man, and chief among the publicans, who wanted to see Jesus Christ. He was financially wealthy but lacked salvation. Zacchaeus was seeking refuge for his soul, and therefore, he did not hesitate but went in search of Jesus. There was a multitude assembled, waiting to see Jesus, but Zacchaeus pushed his way through. He must have been ridiculed by others as he climbed the tree just to see Jesus, but he didn't care, for he knew he was broken on the inside. After Zacchaeus communed with Jesus Christ, his concept of life changed. Jesus offered him salvation, and in return, Zacchaeus offered to restore fourfold what he had taken through false accusations and offer financial assistance to the poor and needy. 

    Zacchaeus sought Jesus when he needed a change, and he received salvation. What about you? Are you frustrated with the way you live your life? Maybe it is time to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. For you to receive salvation from God, we should be willing to seek him with our whole hearts. The person who makes the move will see the wonders of God and his supernatural power. 

Let's pray: 

    Almighty God, I bow in reverence before you, for you are the way, the truth, and the life, the only God who offers salvation, mercy, and grace. Lord, there is no other name under heaven given to mankind that we can be saved by, so God, I intercede on behalf of my family, friends, and neighbors. I am concerned about their souls as much as I am concerned about their minds. Almighty God, rescue their souls, O God, and bring salvation to them hastily. Lord, I know you desire none to perish but that all will seek salvation, so touch their wandering hearts, mighty God, renew their mindset, lead them in your truth, and teach them, for you are the God of salvation. Father, I worship and praise you for the changes you are about to bring into our lives for your glory in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Have a blessed day. 💕🙏

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.

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.     ...
