Worship Song: I Won't Go Back

 


Meditation:

    At first glance, everything may seem enticing and appealing, drawing you into a warm and inviting ambiance. However, as you plunge deeper, captivated by the tranquility, you soon realize too late that you have become ensnared in a web of deception. 

    This was the situation Eve faced when she succumbed to the subtle manipulation of the serpent, who beguiled and led her astray. The adversary skillfully twisted the truth, making it difficult for Eve to detect the scheme he had concocted. The desire for that which is visually appealing can easily distract us from pursuing what is good for our hearts and souls. Eve chose with her eyes, and because of the lust of physical eyes, she would not see beyond the vantage point as her spiritual eyes were blinded. The aftermath of her decision was devastating not just for her but also for her husband, who partakes in her forbidden choice. Their act of disobedience cost them their freedom, stripping them of their joyful life in the garden and close communion with God. They now had to labor for what was once freely provided. God does not tolerate sin, as it creates enmity between Himself and humanity. 

    What appeals to our senses can leave a lasting impact, so we should choose wisely. Strive to make decisions that align with holiness and foster spiritual growth.

Let us pray:

    Jehovah God, thank you for your son, Jesus Christ, who came in the form of flesh to break down the wall of separation, granting us freedom from sin and restoring our relationship with you. We have faced many encounters with the imposter and deceiver whose desire is to destroy us through his cunning devices. Father, through your divine power we can stand triumphantly victorious over sin. Almighty God, I pray we will seek your divine intervention first when making decisions, especially decisions that baffle our minds, decisions that are difficult to make, and the ones that cause us to waver between more than one course of action. Almighty God, I need you to help us make the right choices and prevent us from making ones that will be devastating and disastrous to our well-being and spiritual life through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a wonderful day. 💪💘

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...
