The Grand Reunion

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Genesis 46

Worship song: We Are United

 


Meditation:

    Jacob experienced deep sorrow for many years, convinced that his beloved son had died. His heart was heavy with grief, and his countenance changed so drastically that he could not be consoled. However, when he received the astonishing news that his son, Joseph, was actually alive, dwelt in Egypt, and was the governor of Pharaoh's estate, his spirit was rejuvenated. He was greatly cheered and strengthened by the glad tidings, and immediately prepared for the journey to Egypt, for he wanted to see Joseph before he died. The joy Jacob felt in that moment was awesome, and the reunion with his son, who was presumed dead, was miraculous. 

    Typically, a family reunion is a planned event, but this one happened unexpectedly. Jacob never dreamed he would be blessed with this marvelous opportunity to embrace his long-lost son again. These moments of reconnection allow us to nurture friendship, celebrate with loved ones, reminisce on past events, and share cherished memories. 

    Sadly, many people never got the chance to reunite with their loved ones. Take the initiative to reconnect with family and loved ones while you can. Cherish these opportunities to strengthen your bonds, because you never know when the opportunity will cease. Enjoy a memorable reunion by rekindling the bond while you celebrate with friends and family.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, with a grateful heart, I thank you for the precious gift of family and loved ones. We are truly blessed to have loving, kind, compassionate, and caring family members around us. May we always recognize and continue to cherish those you have placed in our lives. May our unity reflect and celebrate the importance of protecting family life. Lord, keep us united, bound with cords that cannot be broken. If there are any unresolved issues, grant us the wisdom and courage to address them speedily, O God. Father, may our actions and conduct positively impact those around us, transforming lives as we align ourselves with your will. Help us rekindle our family altar, offering sacrifices of thanksgiving and praises with hearts overflowing with gratitude. Empower us, Mighty God, with your mercy and goodness, and let your love and peace resonate through us by the grace of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a blessed 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...
