Overcoming Evil With Good

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 7:5-25

Worship song: God, You're So Good

 


Meditation:

    There lies within each of us the tendency to do evil and the potential for good. However, the outcome depends on whether we choose to do evil or good. If we shun the appearance of evil, evil will not dwell in our presence, but if we meddle in or allow evil to reside within us, it will control and corrupt us. Apostle Paul testified of his struggles with the desire of the flesh. The flesh is corrupted, leading him to sin against his will. He is enslaved by the sinful nature within him. When he tries to do good, evil presents itself. He emphasizes that there is a struggle between the desire to do good and the pull of sin, a struggle that continues until the believer is fully redeemed. 

    Evil is like cancer; once you ignore the signs and allow it to take root, it will never stop until it destroys your conscience, leaving you heartless, cruel, and cold. Paul concluded by expressing gratitude for God's grace and freedom from sin. Let us not conform to the things of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds so we can resist evil and grasp what is good. Keep your heart, hands, and mind clean and pure. Let not evil have dominion over you. Choose good, repudiate evil, and let the peace of God dwell in you richly.

Let’s pray.

    Sovereign God, I seek your divine power to protect our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being from evil influences. Deliver us from any thoughts or desires that seek to conquer our souls, minds, and hearts. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we declare every evil plot, deception, evil force, and snare known and unknown warring against our spiritual journey powerless. Lord, I pray that your Shekinah glory will dwell among us always. Mighty God, we wholeheartedly express sincere gratitude for sending your son to conquer the dominion of sin and for the gift of salvation and redemption through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen. 

Have a peaceful day. ✌💕🙏

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

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 ...

During Difficult Moments

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...
