Significance of a Map

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 2 Timothy 3:8-17

Worship Song: Thy word

 


Meditation:

    A map is a visual representation of an entire area or part of an area, typically represented on a flat surface, and is used by everyday people for navigation and other useful purposes. Similar to a map, every child of God uses the BIBLE as a guide to navigate through the rough and smooth terrains of our life's journey. God has given us a written revelation about himself, his role, and our purpose in the world which can only be found in the Bible. The scripture was written to help us understand whose we are, what is required of us, and what we will endure for his sake. 

    The Bible is filled with truth, wisdom, exhortation, and encouragement for all God's people. It teaches us to overcome trials and temptation. It is a guide to lead us to our future destination. The BIBLE is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. We can benefit from the counsel and the power of the BIBLE, but we must remember the primary purpose of the Bible is to reveal God, His character, and His desire to have a relationship with the people He created. You can know God's spoken word by reading the BIBLE.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, this morning, as we glean from your word and as we dine at your banquet table, we ask that you fill us with wisdom and understanding so we can profit from your teachings, that it may reproof, correct, and train us in righteousness. Father, I give thee thanks, O Lord, for your word, written by inspired men to help us navigate life's journey, and I pray that as we partake and feast on your word, we will be competent and equipped for every good work. Almighty God, in times like these, we need the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and keep us in alignment with your word, your will, and your ways. Father, slay our selfish desires, kill our flesh, and help us to seek after your righteousness. Almighty God, we need more of you and less of ourselves, so fill us with Your power, Lord, and dwell in our hearts that we may not sin against you. Lord, I give you thanks, Heavenly Father; I give you thanks for cleansing and redeeming us through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

Have a blessed day. 💕🙏

    There are many places, distance to cover, corvers and unfamiliar places, therefore a map is essential and more so for our spiritual life. One can get caught up, lost. Also lost of judgment and foresight without the map of the word. Let this map be in our hearts. Shalom.

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.     ...
