Not Satisfied with The Husk

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32

Worship Song: Satisfied




Meditation:

    The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his reality, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, yet he later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness. Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices instead of embracing the divine Grande cuisine that the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the father stands ready to welcome you home? Don't you know you are more valuable than earthly gain? You are more valuable to God than earthly achievements. 

    Your purpose in this life surpasses anything you can accomplish on the earth without Christ. There is immense joy in heaven over every sinner who repents. Every day is an opportunity to turn from the pleasures of sin, the extravagant lifestyle of worldly pleasure, and turn to God. Don't wait! If you are weary and tired of feasting on husks and crave something more fulfilling, come home to Jesus. You will lose nothing of value except the burdens of sin that weigh you down. 

    If you sense the Lord calling you through the Holy Spirit's conviction, answer that call. Rise from your slumber, from the ashes of defeat, and turn to God. Our Heavenly Father is compassionate, merciful, and kind enough to forgive you of your sins. Open up your heart and talk to Jesus; He is only a prayer away.

 Let's pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, clothed in splendor and majesty, you are worthy to be praised. Almighty God, thank you for your unwavering grace. When my life was spiraling into sin, I turned to you, you heard me, and you rescued me, and for that, I am extremely grateful. Today, I lift up my friends, my loved ones, acquaintances, and family before you. I pray for those who have heard your words but have yet to acknowledge you as their Lord and Savior. I bring before you, Lord, the backsliders and those who have wandered onto dangerous paths. I pray, O God, for the lost sheep, that they will listen, obey, and return to you without rebellion. 

    Abba Father, I pray for those who have drifted from their faith that they will hastily return to your open arms, ready to receive the treasures you have retained for them. While they may seek earthly satisfaction, may they turn to you to find true fulfillment while grace and mercy still abound in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a blessed day. Shalom. 💕🙏

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

By

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...
