Let Me Be Worthy

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Matthew 22:1-14

Worship song: Worthy

 


Meditation:    

To be considered worthy, one must have and demonstrate the qualities that merit recognition for the specific purpose to which they are called to serve. In the above Scripture, Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a king preparing a wedding celebration for his child with the desire to appease the invitees and make the experience a memorable event. Normally, preparation depends on the expected number of attendees, but as illustrated in the scripture, some invitees may cancel the invitation at the last minute without prior notice. 

    Jesus' wedding feast comes with an open invitation, and He is always graciously making appeals for us to join in the spiritual festivity, but many are too preoccupied with the cares and concerns of this world to heed the invitation and seek God's kingdom. If we continue to ignore the plea to come to the banquet hall, too busy gallivanting, finding and making excuses, and always striving to satisfy our earthly desires rather than seeking first the Kingdom of God, we might miss our opportunity to celebrate with Jesus. 

    There is coming a day when those who are not wearing their wedding attire will be locked out, deemed unworthy because they have already missed the opportunity to be with the bridegroom. Therefore, harden not your heart when Jesus bids you come, for those who do might just miss their opportunity to be redeemed. There will be weeping and mourning for those who find themselves shut out forever. 

Let's pray:

    All-knowing, merciful, wonderful Saviour, blessed redeemer, and friend, worthy are you, Lord, and worthy to be praised. Father, your grace is sufficient, for your power is made perfect in our weaknesses. Heavenly Father, not all of us are deemed worthy or valuable in the sight of those around us, but we are all worthy, important, and precious in your sight, O God. Almighty God, time and time again, you bid us to come unto you, but devoted to our self-seeking pursuit of worldly pleasure and caught up in our self-righteousness, we refuse to surrender. Heavenly Father, the cares, desires, and pleasures of this world are a hindrance to our commitment to doing what is holy, but I pray, O God, that we spend time to examine ourselves and value the price that was paid for us on Calvary's cross. Jehovah God, may we return to you with a penitent heart, knowing that the price you paid was for a worthy cause. Father, may we surrender to you, O God, and be worthy of the price you paid for us and the pain you suffered for our gain. Almighty God, may we show our appreciation for your sacrificial offering by willingly surrendering our hearts to you in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

Have a blessed day. Shalom. ✌💕

    When we consider how precious we are in the sight of the Lord who created us, nothing else should matter.
    Our eternal existence is hinged on our walk with Him and as long as we are pleasing Him, we are in a good place. We must be kind and reasonable with one another because God cares about how we treat each other. First, love the Lord, love yourself, love your family, your brethren and those with whom we have to deal with. Sometimes we give it and we don't get it but keep giving for it is in giving that we receive.

During Difficult Moments

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 3:23-25 Worship song: Through The Fire   Meditation:      There will be seasons of pain, brokenness, heartache, and struggles. There will be times when our faith is tested and our hope is shattered. There will be times when we will encounter great tribulation. We will be despised by our fellow men, afflicted, rejected, condemned, and humiliated, but think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that will try you. The Hebrew boys' faith was tested and tried, but they remained resilient, fervent, and steadfast, trusting God and exercising faith while their oppressors maliciously schemed and plotted against them.       Don't think it strange when, as believers, these things happen; don't be alarmed or panic, but rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, you will be numbered among the faithful. Be cognizant of the fact that there is no trial or struggle that y...

The Death of The Wicked

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 33: 1-20 Praise song: Only a Look   Meditation:      All of us have an appointment with death, which we cannot cancel, for all must die. Nevertheless, there is a difference between the death of the sinner and the death of the redeemed. When the redeemed die, they will one day be resurrected to eternal life, but the ungodly to eternal torment in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his cohorts of darkness. While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he cautioned them not to fear those who destroy the body, but rather to fear him who can destroy both soul and body.        Those who die in Christ should not fear death, for death is not their final destiny. Those who die while meddling in their sin and wickedness, refusing to surrender to Christ, will receive the wrath of God as their reward. Jehovah God declares that he finds no joy, no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and no pleasure in the pun...

Seeking The Lost at Any Cost

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety and Nine   Meditation:      After an extensive search for a misplaced document that held significant importance, I experienced an overwhelming amount of frustration and anxiety. Finally, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, though I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I imagine the Lord's feelings when the ones he loved turn away from him and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember we are precious and valuable in God's sight and his love is unconditional. His desire for us is for us to turn from our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly.       God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions. Our shepherd, Jesus Christ, stands ready to guide us away from the path of destruction and lead us out of the wilderness of sin. God ...

An Influenced Mind

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart Oh God   Meditation:      It is important to realize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the performance, attitude, moral standards, conduct, actions, and spoken words of others, whether negatively or positively. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If...
