On Death Row

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 3:1-25

Praise song: O The Blood

 


Meditation:

    A famous quote that I often hear is, "If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time!" I doubt anyone convicted of serious offenses is ever mentally prepared to spend time in solitary confinement. In this world of sin, we all stand accused before God, and we are all guilty of committing offenses against God, our creator, and because of this, our ultimate punishment is the death penalty. Everyone who rejected Jesus Christ and turned their backs on Him is on death row, placed in isolation, and waiting to be executed. 

    When you turn from your wicked ways, surrender to Jesus Christ, and confess all your sins, you will be pardoned, and all your sins will be forgiven. Walk away from the lifestyle that displeases God, walk away from worldly pleasures, from the glamour and glitter that held you spellbound, and surrender to Jesus Christ. Only a look at Jesus can turn you away from sin. Jesus will lift your heavy burden, forgive all your sins, and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 

    Allow the righteous judge to dismiss your case and grant you freedom and access to the tree of life. Those who died in Christ, their departure from this sinful world is a blessed transition to eternal life with Christ. 

Let us pray.

    Judge of the secrets of the hearts of men, the God who sits high and looks low, we gather in your courtroom before your throne of grace this morning to petition our cause. Mighty Judge, we stand accused before you, seeking to be forgiven for trespassing against you, O God. Father God, we sinned against you in our thoughts, deeds, and actions, deliberately and unknowingly. Almighty God, have mercy on us according to your loving kindness and according to your compassion; blot out all our transgressions and wash away all our iniquities. Lord, we thank you that, according to your judicial law, we are granted acquittal and pardon for all our iniquities as we confess our sins. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, we thank you for nailing our sins on Calvary's Cross, for your sacrificial offering that granted us victory over sin and eternal punishment in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

Keep safe. Shalom. ✌💞🙏

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

By

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...
