The Depth of our Commitment

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Psalms 37:4-6

Worship song: I Lay It Down

 


Meditation:

    True commitment is more than just mere words. The depth of our commitment is established when we can actively put aside our own desires, ambitions, and self-interest to prioritize God's will as highlighted in St. Luke 9:23. Commitment is the unwavering dedication to a goal, activity, or something you are determined to accomplish without getting weary. Genuine commitment is measured by our willingness to live a life that reflects God's character and values, rather than conforming to worldly pressures. An individual committed to God makes it a priority to genuine love the Lord God sincerely and wholeheartedly as expressed in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Matthew 22:37. 

    We are called to align our hearts and actions with the perfect will of God, and walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, allowing our lives to be a true reflection of his character (1 Kings 8:61). Proverbs 16:3 reminds us to commit our works unto the LORD, and our thoughts shall be established. God is looking for people who boldly refuse to compromise their faith and willingly forsake their worldly possessions for His kingdom, as stated in St. Luke 14:33. The depth of our commitment is not just admired; it is a profession of our faith and dedication to serve God wholeheartedly. Whosoever will not forsake all your possessions for the sake of Christ cannot be His disciple (St. Luke 14:33).

Let us pray:

    Emanuel, God with us, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. I am willing, Lord God to commit my life as a living sacrifice unto you. Through obedience to your word and the leading of the Holy Spirit, may I commit to your perfect will, love you with all my heart, take up my cross, and follow you daily. Lord, as I surrender all to follow you, give me faith and courage to forsake my desires, ambitions, and self-interest to prioritize your will. Bless me, O God, with a heart devoted to serving and loving you. Lord, I seek your divine help to practice spiritual discipline so I can remain steadfast and not be torn between discipleship and worldly concerns. Lord, I seek your divine strength to maintain my commitment to you, sacrificing my time and service to lead a life that pleases you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a joyful day. 💞🙏

    Let us remain committed in all we do, first to the cause of Christ and in all other areas of life. Once we express our desires to Him, He will see us through. Hold fast. Shalom.

A Thirst for Righteousness

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 6:11-23 Worship song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin   Meditation:      At the beginning of the chapter, Apostle Paul refuted the misconception that salvation is achieved through grace by faith. Based on his rebuttal, it is clear that the saints were disputing about sin, salvation, law, and grace. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. Although the grace of God abounds with those who yield to righteousness, and his grace is greater than all our sins, we should not remain as servants to sin. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.       Before, you were enslaved to sin, and righteousness was not a factor in your life. Now, freed from sin, you have become servants to God. Should the believers who obeyed from the heart the doctrine that was delivered to us continue to yield our members to ungodliness? Shall...

Not Satisfied with The Husk

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Worship Song: Satisfied   Meditation:      The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his reality, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, yet he later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness. Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices instead of embracing the divine grand cuisine that the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the Almighty Father stands ready to welcome you home? God values you more than any career or material gain.       The life you crave, one of true purpose, is found with Christ. There is immense joy in heaven whenever someone decides to leave a life of sin behind. If you are weary of st...

Better Awaits You

Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21 Praise song: Jerusalem   Meditation:      This world is unpredictable and full of trials, sadness, and disappointment; nevertheless, we hold onto the divine promise of a restored life through our Lord. A time is coming when suffering will cease, and God will bring an end to all sorrow, sickness, and death. While we look forward to the future, our focus should be on serving God fully and living his way. This life is a journey, not our final destination. For those who place their trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is assured. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive when he shall return shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and be with him forever.       As we serve the Lord with gladness, and worship Him in spirit and truth, let us be prepared to meet Him. If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, do...

Abound in Knowledge

Good morning  Scripture reading: 2 Peter 1: 1–10 Worship song: Worthy Meditation:      In addition to staying pure from worldly corruption and being diligent, Peter's letters outline several specific attributes of good stewardship. He advised us to add these attributes to remain fruitful and fertile. The Apostle Peter describes a process for developing spiritual maturity. His guidelines instruct believers to purposefully adopt Christlike characteristics, behave in a righteous and godly manner, use their gifts to serve others, practice cheerful hospitality, and remain humble. We must actively use the resources God has given us to guide our actions and achieve our purpose. The more knowledge we have of God, the closer we get to Him, and the more we learn to apply the steps necessary for spiritual growth, of which the greatest attribute that we need to obtain is love. When we forsake all to follow Christ, the word of God empowers us, and the Holy Spirit equip...
