Conquering Rejection

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Matthew 13: 53-58

Worship song: Cry of The Broken

 


Meditation:

    The fear of rejection is a critical weapon that can paralyze our mental state. It can affect who we are and hinder us from moving forward to accomplish our God-given purpose. The fear of rejection can cause someone to avoid situations that might lead to potential rejection. Though you cannot prevent rejection, you can overcome it. Overcoming rejection depends on your beliefs, what you accept, and how you digest the views and opinions of others. Tearing down the stronghold of rejection is possible when you begin to acknowledge and accept what God's word says about your identity and who you are in Christ. When you know and accept that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God in his likeness and image, loved, appreciated, and accepted by Him, you can quell the spirit of rejection. 

    Whenever you feel rejected, do not take it personally and do not give up; instead, focus on your strengths and achievements. Whenever you feel rejected, you can choose to rest in the truth that you are accepted and loved by God, and in Him, you have your being. You can overcome rejection by taking your eyes off those who reject you and refocusing your attention on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of your faith. You can overcome rejection when you accept that you live in a society where rejection is prominent, and you are not exempt from being rejected. 

    No matter how others feel about you or how badly they treat you, remember Jesus Christ will accept you for who you are, for greater is He that is in you than he that is against you. Begin by looking at the positive side of life, ignore the small stuff, and feast your eyes on that which is important. When you have a close bond with Jesus, you will begin to realize that people's opinions, thoughts, and negative perspectives of you are insignificant.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, we give thanks, O God, for your comforting words that remind us that we can rest assured that with you we need not fear rejection. Father, we denounce the spirit of rejection and embrace the spirit of acceptance, knowing, mighty God, that we are fearfully and wonderfully made in your likeness and image. Almighty God, we now walk with confidence, knowing that even though men have devalued our worth and have rejected us, we are accepted and appreciated in thy sight. Father, we choose to look beyond the many rejections we experience in our lives as we lay down all the pain, hurt, and wounds we struggle to cope with and hereby accept your love, grace, mercies, plans, and purposes for our lives in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Keep safe. One love. 💕🙏

(Proverbs 3:5-6) Worship song: Learning to Lean on Jesus   Personal Testimony:      Looking back on my journey, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for where the Lord brought me.

Routine Worship

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St Luke 4:16 Worship song: The Heart of Worship   Meditation:      It is customary for believers in Christ to gather in synagogues and places of worship at least once weekly to fellowship, praise, and honor God, our Creator. These religious practices, if performed without genuine desire and heart engagement, can become mere routines, detached from a life pleasing to God and a desire to glorify and submit to Him. Matthew 15:8 is a reminder that outward expression of faith must align with a heart that is connected with God. When our lives are governed by customary rituals, we become complacent, and the purpose of our worship loses its true value because we are committed to following a routine rather than seeking to develop a closer relationship with God.       Our prayers are mere words uttered from our lips with no inclination from the Holy Spirit. We read the word of God but lack the wisdom to co...

Good morning Day of prayer - Depending on God I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2                          Worship song: Jesus We're Depending on You   Let us pray:      Dependable, capable, and adorable God, I have learned to lean and depend on you to supply my needs according to your riches in glory. You are my strength and my shepherd, I lack nothing. All my help comes from You, Lord, so I put my trust in You. Daily, you provided shelter, divine blood courage, and protection for which I am extremely grateful. Lord, you have calmed the biosterous storms, kept me safe from danger, and allowed me to dance to the rhythm of your faithfulness. Amid adversity and uncertainty, you grant me hope, peace, and happiness. In my distress, your presence calms my anxieties and fears.   ...

Prioritizing Your Desire

By

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 6::25-33 Worship song: I Desire Jesus   Meditation:      What is your greatest desire in life? Is it for worldly gain or the Kingdom of Christ? Your desire to know more about Jesus Christ should be your priority over earthly pursuits. The ultimate aspiration of every believer is to deepen their relationship with Christ and follow the pathway of righteousness. As followers of Christ, we must diligently study God's word to gain knowledge and a profound understanding of his will. Our desire must be to submit fully and surrender to God, our Master.       Reflect on King Solomon's testimony. After experiencing the heights of worldly success, he realized that without a connection to God and a spiritual purpose, even the greatest achievements and pleasures are ultimately meaningless and lead to a sense of emptiness and weariness. King Solomon confessed that all his gain was vanity and vexation of spirit. While we...
