Do Not Look Back

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Isaiah 43:18-19

Worship song: Make Room

 


Meditation:

    There is a natural human tendency for us to reminisce on what we have left behind, especially a life of luxury and pleasure. When God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, he sent his angels to escort Lot and his family to a safe place, away from the city. However, Lot's wife disobeyed the warning and looked back. She was too attached to her lifestyle of glitter and glamour, focusing on the things she was leaving behind, so she suffered the consequences of her actions. Apostle Paul urges us to forget those things that are behind us and focus on the things that are before us. 

    As we traverse this pilgrim land, press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God. Remain steadfast and focused, looking ahead and not behind. Consider not your old sinful lifestyle, for the Lord God is doing a new thing in your life. God is calling you to a higher place of praise. He is calling you to a place where rivers flow through the desert and manna is available in the wilderness. If you are convicted by the Holy Spirit, do not harden your heart but be receptive to God's divine communication. Remember, God has a plan to prosper you, to give you hope and a future.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, we glorify you, O God, for you are worthy to be praised. Almighty God, we give thee thanks for rescuing us from a lifestyle of nothingness to a higher place of praise and sweet peace. Thank you, Abba Father, for snatching us out of the murky streams, out of the dungeons, and from off the hell-bound train. We are grateful to you, O God, for the one-way ticket that you have purchased with your blood to carry us safely to the promised land. Father, we thank you for bringing us to a place where the peace of God abounds, where only the redeemed are welcome, and the penitent sinner is set free. Father, I pray that we will remain at Liberty Hall, steadfast and focused on you, O God, not looking back with a longing desire for the ungodly things you have rescued us from in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a peaceful day. ✌💕💪

During Difficult Moments

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 3:23-25 Worship song: Through The Fire   Meditation:      There will be seasons of pain, brokenness, heartache, and struggles. There will be times when our faith is tested and our hope is shattered. There will be times when we will encounter great tribulation. We will be despised by our fellow men, afflicted, rejected, condemned, and humiliated, but think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that will try you. The Hebrew boys' faith was tested and tried, but they remained resilient, fervent, and steadfast, trusting God and exercising faith while their oppressors maliciously schemed and plotted against them.       Don't think it strange when, as believers, these things happen; don't be alarmed or panic, but rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, you will be numbered among the faithful. Be cognizant of the fact that there is no trial or struggle that y...

The Death of The Wicked

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 33: 1-20 Praise song: Only a Look   Meditation:      All of us have an appointment with death, which we cannot cancel, for all must die. Nevertheless, there is a difference between the death of the sinner and the death of the redeemed. When the redeemed die, they will one day be resurrected to eternal life, but the ungodly to eternal torment in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his cohorts of darkness. While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he cautioned them not to fear those who destroy the body, but rather to fear him who can destroy both soul and body.        Those who die in Christ should not fear death, for death is not their final destiny. Those who die while meddling in their sin and wickedness, refusing to surrender to Christ, will receive the wrath of God as their reward. Jehovah God declares that he finds no joy, no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and no pleasure in the pun...

Seeking The Lost at Any Cost

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety and Nine   Meditation:      After an extensive search for a misplaced document that held significant importance, I experienced an overwhelming amount of frustration and anxiety. Finally, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, though I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I imagine the Lord's feelings when the ones he loved turn away from him and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember we are precious and valuable in God's sight and his love is unconditional. His desire for us is for us to turn from our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly.       God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions. Our shepherd, Jesus Christ, stands ready to guide us away from the path of destruction and lead us out of the wilderness of sin. God ...

An Influenced Mind

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart Oh God   Meditation:      It is important to realize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the performance, attitude, moral standards, conduct, actions, and spoken words of others, whether negatively or positively. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If...
