It is Written

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Matthew 4:1-11

Worship song: Give Me You

 


Meditation:

    Today's scripture passage powerfully illustrates Satan's tactics as he tempted Jesus after his forty days of fasting. Satan used 'if thou' to sow doubt and challenge Jesus' authority, but Jesus counteracted Satan's attempt to undermine his authority by consistently responding with the phrase 'It is written,' demonstrating his deep knowledge and reliance on God's word. Satan attempted to twist the scripture to conquer Jesus, but he was defeated. 

    Not everyone will experience spiritual attacks in the same way. The devil is strategic, targeting each of us with a specific missile, and if successful, he celebrates. However, if he fails his quest, he will retreat for a while but will strike again. The devil is relentless and will attack when we least expect it. He often attacks right after a powerful spiritual worship experience or after we have given God genuine praise. Satan is also likely to attack before we embark on a new spiritual quest, at the moment when God is preparing us for greatness. The enemy capitalizes on the moments when we are facing physical challenges, emotionally vulnerable, or spiritually weak, and uses them to his advantage. 

    Jesus' response to Satan is a powerful example for us, highlighting the vital importance of knowing and implementing Scripture when facing temptation and spiritual warfare. We must diligently study the word of God to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth without shame.

Let us pray:

    Most righteous, Eternal Father, empower us with the desire to feast upon your word; grant us wisdom to comprehend each scripture and the ability to use them appropriately. Almighty God, as your word declares, we beseech you to tabernacle with us during times of difficulty. Be with us, Daddy Jesus, when temptations become hard to bear, lest we heed the tempter. Lead us not into temptation, O God, but deliver us from all evil. Heavenly, keep our eyes fixed on you, and anchor our souls on the solid rock, O God. Do not allow Satan to rejoice over us or conquer us during spiritual battles. Be our guiding light, Daddy Jesus, at all times, because without you, we are frail and feeble. We solely depend on you, Lord God, to keep us anchored and secured while the billows roll in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a blessed day. 💕🙏

    It is written. It is important to know what is written so when attack we can readily use the word without hesitation like a bullet from a weapon. Let the word of God dwell in us richly in all wisdom. Study to show oneself approved rightly dividing the word of truth. Put on the whole Armour of God that he may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The Lord really equips us in our warfare but we must follow His instructions to be victorious. Let us lean heavily on Him. Walk good. Stay strong. Love you lovely one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🫂🥰🙏🙏

Filled With The Holy Spirit

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 3:1-16 Worship song: Spirit of The Living God   Meditation:      There is a clear distinction between water baptism and baptism of the Holy Spirit. John boldly stated his mission to preach repentance and baptize with water but revealed that it is Jesus Christ who baptizes us with the Holy Ghost and fire. Those who have been baptized in water must also be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our guide, directing those who actively seek God's will and submit to His word. The Holy Spirit operates within us, transforming our lives and empowering us to live in obedience to God.       In Acts 8, Philip boldly proclaimed and taught the gospel to those in Samaria who were misguided by Simon the sorcerer. Many believed the gospel, including Simon himself, and upon the profession of their faith, they received water baptism. However, water baptism alone does not change your heart condition, as was...

Testimony - Hope Restored

Good morning Testimony - Hope Restored   And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. Joel 2:25   Worship song: Restore My Soul Testimony:      People often interpret what occurs throughout the day as mere coincidence; however, this perspective differs for those who strongly believe in Christ and depend on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who recognize these moments as divine connections. After dedicating time to my personal devotion, I often resort to additional resources from fellow believers to enhance my daily worship sessions.       On July 11, something extraordinary happens. What began as a typical worship session led to a powerful and renewed feeling of hope. I recalled opening my Bible app to the devotional, and the scripture associated with the message was Joel 2:25. Immediately after, I joined Pastor Basil's...

Wait On the Lord

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 5:2-8 Praise song: I Will Wait    Meditation:      Ms. Cole, a mother of three sent out several applications and resumes seeking employment, but she received no response. She possesses the necessary skills, qualifications, and experience required to fill the vacant positions advertised, yet no one called her for an interview. Two years have passed since her last job, and while she felt the mounting pressure to provide for her children, she remained steadfast. Although her savings were depleting, she refused to succumb to hopelessness. Hearing of another job opening, her sister encouraged her to apply. Though she hesitated, she submitted the application with a glimmer of hope.       This reminds us of the fishermen in St. Luke 5, who toiled tirelessly all night without success. When Jesus instructed them to launch their nets into the deep, they hesitated but ultimately obeyed and wer...

The Divine Exchange

By

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 1:18-21 Worship song: Ten Thousand Angels Cried   Meditation:      The initiated plan by God was a profound divine exchange: our sin and brokenness for the righteousness and holiness of Christ. Jesus, the sinless one, stood in the gap, willingly taking our punishment so that we could be made the righteousness of God. We were not redeemed with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, predetermined before the foundation of the world for the remission of sin.       Though he was rich, Jesus became poor for our sake so we may be enriched through his sacrificial atonement. He bore the emotional scars of rejection and the physical pain of chastisement, carrying the weight of the world's sins. He endured a temporary separation from God to bridge the gap between God and humanity. This enabled us to reconcile with our Heavenly Father and develop a permanent relationship with Him....
