Will Your Anchor Hold?

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Matthew 8:23-27

Worship Song: In The Rock I Will Hide

 


Meditation:

    One of the greatest weapons that the enemy uses to conquer us is the spirit of fear. The disciples became fearful and believed that they were going to perish when the storm transitioned from a peaceful, calm state to a boisterous state. Paralyzed by the invading force of the wind, they panic and rush to Jesus Christ for help. Fear can overshadow us with a thick cloud of darkness controlling our every move and decision. Unexpected crisis, negative impacts caused by changes in circumstances, or boisterous storms in life in the form of persecution, natural disasters, conflicts, disease, and ill health can create an atmosphere of wavering faith, uncertainty, anxiety, imminent fear, even in the fearless of believers. 

    We fear because our faith is weak and because we are not aware of the power of the God we serve. The Bible provides verses with hope, strength, courage, and assurance. When fear floods your mind when you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, remember the God of the universe is greater than they that rise against you. When you are faced with struggles and uncertainties, do not be dismayed for God is with you. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, let your requests be known to God and give thanks. Remember, God never gave us a spirit of fear but of power and love and sound mind. Be assured God is your anchor and he will keep you steadfast and sure while the billows roar. Fear is defeated when your foundation is built on Jesus Christ, the solid rock. God knows what concerns you and he has got you.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, I am grateful that amid chaos, confusion, and frustration, you are still in control, and you are still God. I thank you, Almighty God, for your words that remind us not to fear or be dismayed because you are with us, and you will never leave nor forsake us. Father, when we are faced with uncertainties and when the enemy tries to conquer us with the spirit of fear, we ask that you lift a standard against him. Almighty God, strengthen our faith and trust in you so when the adversary comes upon us like a flood, we will be able to withstand the test and triumph victorious in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a great day. ✌💕🙏

    Amen! Amen! Great devotion. Our anchor is the most important thing, in whom it is anchored. Everything that we have aboard our lives will be swept away in the sea of life if we don't have an anchor steadfast and sure while the billows roar. Let us not worry about the raging sea but ensure our anchor hold so we can enjoy peace in the midst of the storm.
    Peace and love.

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...

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.     ...
