Feeding on Cotton Candy

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Isaiah 55:1-3

Worship song: Give Me You

 


Meditation:

    Cotton candy, also known as fairy floss or candy floss, is a confection made from sugar, artificial coloring, and mostly air. This type of candy has no nourishment, but its sweet, sugary, tasty flavor melts in your mouth, stimulating your appetite to take another bite. This is a description of what cotton candy Christianity is like in the world today. The sermons are sweetly sugar-coated, entertaining, and appeal to one's thoughts instead of convicting the heart, and they are filled with self-satisfaction and gratification. These sermons are like food; they taste great but have no nourishment for the soul. 

The church is quickly drifting away, twisting the word of God to suit their ungodly lifestyle, turning a blind eye to the diet of sin just to gain fortune, fame, and favor. These modern-style messages leave its ardent listeners with inadequate room for soul searching as their unyielding hearts are quenched merely by the teachings of gaining wealth instead of spiritual health. We need to get back to the basics of life where sin is regarded as sin, not covered up or sugar-coated. Sin satisfies, but for a moment, then comes the ultimate penalty, which is death. As deprived sinners in need of a Savior, let us hearken to God and eat the bread of life, and let our souls be satisfied. Let us seek to change our meals to a diet that nourishes, satisfies, and convicts the heart, mind, body, and soul. Shepherds, let every meal you serve pierce our hearts and lead us to a complete and sincere surrender to Almighty God.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, here is our broken and contrite heart; we ask that you empty us of everything that we have learned contrary to your will and your ways. Lord, we denounce every false teaching that we have registered in our hearts and minds and ask that you allow the Holy Spirit to write your words on the walls of our hearts. Almighty God, may you remove from our thoughts every false doctrine that we have accepted. Father, where your shepherds have failed to lead and guide us, we ask that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, help us to dissect your word and teach us all that is beneficial for correction, teaching, reproof, and training for righteousness. Lord, we invite you to reign supreme over us and let your word sustain us in our walk with you. Father, allow your undiluted word to convict and pierce our hearts as we listen to sound doctrine. In the same breath, Lord, I give thanks for the shepherds who still hold the fort, guiding and leading sinners to repentance in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a peaceful 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.

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.     ...
