The Kingdom of God

By

 Happy New Year

 Scripture reading: St. Luke 18:15-17

Praise song: Jesus Love Me

 


Meditation:

    Children are to be seen and not heard are the words I heard ever so often as a child. Children cannot voice their opinions or say anything, especially when adults are speaking. Children are often ignored and sometimes treated as insignificant. Children have needs too, and their purposes in society must be recognized. While Jesus was on His ministering mission on the coast of Judea, parents brought their children for prayer and blessings, but the disciples rebuked them. Maybe they thought that what Jesus was doing was only for the benefit of the adults or maybe they believe children have no need. Jesus, realizing what the disciples were doing intervened. Jesus told the disciples to allow the children to come unto Him, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God. Jesus placed His hands on all the children and blessed them before He departed. All the little children of the world are loved by God and He will not turn any of them away. 

    Are you keeping the little children from the house of God? Are you teaching them about Jesus Christ? Do they know about Jesus and how much He loved and cared for them? Suffer the little children to come unto Jesus and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

 

Let's pray:

    Almighty God, I give you thanks that the Lord Jesus Christ has a special place in His heart for little children. Heavenly Father, Loving God, Jesus the Christ, I give thee thanks for the words that echo in our ears as a reminder to suffer the little children to come unto you and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God. Jehovah God, I pray that as parents, we will not withhold our children from You, but we will bring them up in the nurture and admonition of You, Lord. Help us, O God to develop the patience required to deal with the different challenges that we face with our children. Give us enduring spirits and caring hearts, O God. Guard the hearts and minds of children and protect them from harmful substances and danger, keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength. Please grant them, O Lord, discernment to recognize truth and deceptions through the leading of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a wonderful 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. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. 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. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bo...

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.     ...
