Repent While Grace Abound

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 6

Praise song: I repent

 


Meditation:

    Repentance is a powerful act of acknowledging our wrongdoings and expressing sincere remorse. You might say, Why should I repent? We repent when our lifestyle and our actions are contrary to biblical teachings. We repent when we sin against God and indulge in anything contrary to His will, law, and commandments. If we analyze or categorize sin as big or small, it is still sin, and the ultimate consequence is separation from God. 

    It matters not if we view little sin as insignificant; the ultimate punishment is the same for all transgressions. Anything we do that is contrary to God's commandments, will, and law is punishable. No sin goes unpunished, so those who refuse to confess and acknowledge their faults will face the consequences. If we repent of our sins and our wrongdoings, God is faithful and just to forgive us of all our iniquities. 

    To be forgiven, we must repent of all our iniquities. Repent, therefore, and turn away from sin; look to Jesus now, and live. Repent, for you know not when the master will put in His appearance nor the minute death will come knocking at your door. Repent while you still have breath, while the blood is trickling through your veins. Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling us to repent while mercy and grace abound.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, merciful, wonderful Savior, our Redeemer and friend, into your hands, we commit and surrender our lives. Father, we confess that we have sinned against thee in our thoughts, our actions, and our deeds. We confess that we have sinned against you presumptuously and unknowingly, and so with a penitent heart, we ask, O God, that you forgive us for trespassing against you. Forgive us, merciful God, for we have sinned against you, and if we have caused others to stumble, cause them grief or pain, please forgive us, Lord. Cleanse and purify us, O Heavenly Father, from all carnal weaknesses, iniquities, immoralities, and impurities in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray. Amen.

Keep safe. Shalom. ✌🙏

    What a song, so timely, so profound and penetrating.
    What writing, so clear and cutting. On the table of something to be annalize, careful attention is given to every part. I can tell you were wide awake when you did this. The Lord is with you. As we execute our duties today, know that the enemy is watching us. He will not let us off the hook so easy, he will always pull a trick on us, so be vigilant.
    God bless you, enjoy your day in every way you can.
    Until such time. Peace and 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

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...
