Keep Your Heart Clean

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Psalm 51:7-12

Worship song: Clean Heart

 


Meditation:

    As part of the safety measures to prevent sickness, it is recommended that we sanitize, disinfect, and wash our hands regularly. There is another significant part of us that we need to pay attention to, and it is our heart. Our heart, however, does not need physical cleansing but spiritual cleansing. A person's heart reveals their true nature.

    Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful above all things, desperately wicked, and needs divine purification. We must carefully protect and maintain our heart, which is the source of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We must be vigilant and careful about what enters and takes root in our hearts, as negative influences will inevitably shape our lives. 

    Matthew 5:8 says, Blessed is the pure in heart, for they shall see God. While the ways of our heart may be hidden from others, nothing is hidden from God, who knows the innermost iniquities that abound in the heart of every human. We keep our hearts clean and sanctified by allowing the Holy Spirit to work in our lives to transform our thoughts, will, and desires in alignment with God's will.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, our desire is to be holy, set apart to be used by you, and do your will. We acknowledge the need for our hearts to be cleansed, O God, for new wine cannot be poured into a dirty vessel. Lord, please remove our stony hearts and give us hearts of flesh and a renewed spirit, promise to us. Almighty God, we affirm that our hearts can be corrupt and desperately wicked, O God, so we seek you to create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Search our hearts, O God, try the reins, and judge us according to our ways and the fruit of our actions. Our hearts need you, Lord, the only true surgeon who knows and understands the heart's condition. Protect our hearts from negative influences and lead us away from anything that might lead us astray. We rely solely on you, Lord God, to guard our hearts, for out of them flow the issues of life. Thank you, Lord, for protecting us from the enemy's deceptive plans in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Keep safe. 💕🙏

    The heart of every matter is the matter of the heart. Deceitful and desperately wicked as was mentioned earlier. Like xray, unless the hidden secrets or motives of the heart is revealed before it is exercised many will be deceived. Any event signs should not be taken lightly but be addressed immediately to prevent further injuries. Do not ignore warnings signs. The Holy Spirit should be present at all times for safety. Keep trusting His leading. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

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...

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...

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...

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....
