Wait On the Lord

By

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 were rewarded with an abundance beyond their expectations. Like those fishermen, Ms. Cole chose to act in faith. She applied for the job, attended the interview, and is now reaping the benefits of the fruit of her obedience, flourishing as a Customer Service Representative.

Let us pray:

    Father in heaven, help us not to give up even when things look hopeless. Teach us to trust in you completely and wait patiently for your provision. We thank you, Lord, for our great needs, viewing them as opportunities to depend on you solely and trust your promises. We wait patiently, Lord, as we look to you with great expectations, knowing and believing that you will supply all of our needs as promised, according to your glory. Almighty God, we trust in your great love, power, and faithfulness to fill the void within us. Father, we surrender all our needs, physically and spiritually unto you, and ask kindly that you grant us fulfillment according to your desires. Father, touch our hearts and mind this day and allow the peace of God to dwell within us. Father, we express sincere gratitude for your faithful promises and matchless love through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Shalom. ✌🙏

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...

The Divine Exchange

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....

Good morning Testimony- Restoration of Hope   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 Ba...
