Worship Song: Cry For Humility

 


Topic: Humble Beginning

    Today, we reflect on a pivotal moment when the disciples questioned who was greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Seeking clarity, they approached Jesus. In response, Jesus emphasized that unless one is converted and becomes humble like a little child, he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus used two extremely important phrases in explaining to the disciples the required distinction to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus made it clear that one must be converted and be humble as a little child.  

    Conversion involves a change in thinking and desire, moving away from worldly pursuits and aligning with God's will. And to be humble is to display meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit, not arrogance or pride. When we are truly humble, we do not boast about our possessions but rather boast about our relationship with the Lord God. When we are converted, we are no longer conformed to the things of the world but transformed and renewed, desiring only that which is pleasing and acceptable by God. 

    Let us come before the Lord God with humility as little children, recognizing that those who exalted themselves will be abased, and he that shall humble himself will be exalted.

Let's Pray

    Omnipotent, omnipresent, all-knowing God, I come before you with confidence, seeking your guidance and transformation. Heavenly Father, if I am too high, bring me down; if I have exalted myself before you, Lord, correct me. Almighty God, if pride and arrogance are hindering me from humbling myself before you, I beseech you to break those hindering spirits and renew my spirit. Father, if at any time worldly achievements should hinder me from humbling myself before you, I beseech you, Lord, to bring me to a place where I will be abased and you be exalted. Father, give me enough grace that I may continue to humble myself under your mighty hand. Lord, grant me a spirit that is humble, submissive, and utterly dependent on you, desiring to live by your commands and precepts. Lord, hear my humble cry in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Keep safe. Shalom. 💖🙏

    After a humble start to our lives, it should be a guiding force that lead us to the highest ideals in life. Knowing if we are too proud He will bring us down. Staying humble is the only way God will walk with us. He said He will not walk with the proud nor the scornful. Let us remember His words. 🙏❤️🙏

    Blessed morning. God is faithful. Pray with me. All to Jesus, I surrender, all to him I freely give. I will ever love and trust him. In his presence daily live. I surrender, I surrender all. All to thee my Blessed Savior. I surrender all. Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a humble heart, surrendering everything I am and hope for your loving care. I recognize that you are in control of every aspect of my life, and I choose to place my trust in your perfect will. I release my anxieties, my fears, and my own plans, knowing that your path is always best. This I ask in Jesus' name, Amen. Stay blessed. 🙌🏾

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

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...
