How Deep His Your Love

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Matthew 22:37-39

Worship song: I'm Amazed

 


Meditation:

    Love is a very essential human need, as it is the driving force behind compassion, kindness, and empathy. Love, according to the dictionary, is a strong feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection for someone. Jesus Christ demonstrated his love for us by showing kindness, mercy, and compassion to not only some but all creatures. He loves us despite our sinful nature, but he does not endorse our sins. His love for us is greater than our sins. God expects all his disciples to have the same kind of agape love he demonstrated. No wonder Jesus Christ told his disciples to love each other just as he loved us. The love of Jesus Christ does not come with conditions or limitations. It is a love that is generous and endures all things. 

    As children of God, faith, hope, and love are the three essential Christian virtues that guide our interaction and actions with others, but the greatest one is love (1 Cor. 13:13). Love rejoices not in iniquity, does not think about evil, and does not envy; it endures all things, rejoices in the truth, and covers a multitude of sins. Love does not select whom to love and whom to despise. If you do not have the love of Christ, who bore chastisement for our redemption, then your love is not authentic. How we demonstrate love will determine whose disciples we are. How deep is your love for Almighty God and your neighbor?

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, I glorify and honor you for your unmerited and unconditional love for humanity. Lord, I beseech you to examine our hearts and test our love; see if we have agape love or if our love is motivated by our own needs. Father may Your agape love engulf our hearts so we can love others without favor or condition. Lord God, crucify our selfish desires; grant us a receptive heart and let our lives reflect the Christ that lives within us. Loving Father may the warmth of your grace and mercy inspire us to follow your commands, precepts, and life teachings through the love of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a lovely day. 💕💘🙏

    Oh what a love, so measureless and strong. It is such a binding force. It kept lovers together for years. It keeps believers faithful to the Lord, it forgives all our trespasses.
    It is our source of supply both physically and spiritually. It never runs out.
    Love in any language, straight from the heart, pulls us all together, never apart.
    How deep is your love?
    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Spiritual Decline

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-4 Worship song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      Spiritual decline refers to a decrease or deterioration of one's connection to the Divine, marked by a decline in faith, moral integrity, spiritual wisdom, or religious devotion. This is often caused by disobedience to God's word, increased idolatry practices, indulgence in worldly pleasures, and a decrease in godly and ethical standards. Neglecting to pray and a lack of spiritual energy, demonstrated by a loss of desire to worship and connect with other believers, mark the beginning of all spiritual decline.       When we neglect God's divine direction and uphold our own standards, it demonstrates spiritual blindness and a hardness of heart. It is our unholy actions that create a barrier between us and God. As stated in Isaiah 52, our wrongful actions caused God to turn away, preventing Him from hearing our pleas as He withdraws Himself f...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
