A Father's Love

Happy Father’s Day

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32

Song: How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

 


Meditation:

    The intriguing narrative, recorded in St. Luke 15, highlights the unconditional love and sincere compassion of a father for his children. The younger son's disrespectful request for his inheritance and his reckless lifestyle choices made his father's arms open wide to receive him. His father taught him moral principles, but all that he had learned was overshadowed by the extravagant lifestyle he adopted in the foreign country. Destitute, empty, and broken, he returned to his father, who was waiting in anticipation for his return. The father, overwhelmed with joy and gladness, forgave and welcomed his son home. 

    This is a typical example of God's unconditional love for us. God's love is extended to you whether you are a backslider, sinner, atheist, believer, or unbeliever. He loves you sincerely but hates the things we do that displease him. Jesus is patiently waiting for you to come home. There is an urgent call for all sinners, backsliders, the weary, and the sojourners to come unto him, and he will give you rest. The Savior bids us to come to the Father, whose arms are open to receive us.

Let us pray.

    Everlasting Father, clothed in splendor and majesty, we are grateful to you, God, for your unconditional love, your abundant grace, compassion, and mercies that are new every morning. This morning, Lord, we express gratitude for the fathers who play a vital role in the lives of their children, ensuring the word of God is cemented in their hearts. We honor our fathers for their nurturing care and spiritual guidance. We thank you, Lord God, for equipping our fathers with virtues essential for endurance, patience, love, compassion, and tolerance. We pray for blood coverage, protection, financial breakthroughs, spiritual guidance, and divine intervention for all fathers, especially the genuine, supportive ones. Heavenly Father, let there be a spiritual empowerment released upon every father that will bring them closer to you, O God. I pray, O God, that you will pierce the mind and heart of every backslider, unbeliever, and atheist with your word and bring them to the altar of repentance. Rescue them, O God, from every satanic stronghold and from the perils of darkness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Amen.

Have a blessed day. 💕🙏

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...

If God Be for Us

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 8:31-39 Worship song: If God Is for Me   Meditation:      With God on your side, no enemy can truly triumph over you, even when it seems they are succeeding during persecution or tribulation. It may look like they are succeeding when they mock us or threaten us, but God's purpose and support for us are far greater than any force against us. Though we are oppressed and chastised by our adversary, we shall overcome for we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. We are reminded by Apostle Paul that nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.       Amidst human rejection, we can draw strength from the knowledge that God's love is beyond measure and without condition. Do not be dismayed or fear those who are against you for God will never leave you. He will strengthen you and uphold you with His righteous right hand. If God be for us, tell me who can t...

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...

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...
