Who are Thine Accusers?

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. John 8: 1-11

Worship song: At Your Feet

 


Meditation:

    The Scribes and Pharisees presented a woman to Jesus Christ, accusing her of adultery. They anticipated that Jesus would endorse her punishment by stoning which was the accepted consequence for such a sin. However, Jesus responded by inviting the one without sin to cast the first stone. Acknowledging their own guilt and embarrassed by their folly, her accusers slowly walked away, unable to condemn her in the presence of the Lord. This story highlights the human tendency to recognize the faults and mistakes in others yet fail to address their own iniquities and imperfections. 

    As communicated in Matthew 7 we must examine and address our own sins, make our slates clean before attempting to assist others with their transgressions. We cannot accuse others while sin resides within us. After all the accusers left, and there was none to condemn her, Jesus assured the woman that she was condemned. He assured her she is free and encouraged her to go forth and sin no more. If we fall into the categories of false accusers, fault-finders, or condemn others because of their iniquities or sins, it is essential that we first reflect on our lifestyle and behavior. We must earnestly seek God's forgiveness and cleansing for any corruption or sin we harbor in our hearts. The principle of divine justice teaches us that the measure we use to judge others will be measured to us in return.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, we come before you in worship and adoration, recognizing you are worthy of all honor. We express unwavering gratitude for your wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who leads us along the path of righteousness. Almighty God, we confess and repent of any false accusations or judgments we have made without cause. Lord, please forgive us for ignoring the plank in our eyes, while identifying the beam that is in the eyes of others. May we extend mercy, instead of condemnation. Purge us with hyssop, Almighty God, and cleanse our hearts from every sin. Spare us from your wrath, O God, and deliver us from presumptuous sins and false accusations in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 

Keep safe and enjoy God's blessings. 💕🙏

(Proverbs 3:5-6) Worship song: Learning to Lean on Jesus   Personal Testimony:      Looking back on my journey, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for where the Lord brought me.

Routine Worship

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St Luke 4:16 Worship song: The Heart of Worship   Meditation:      It is customary for believers in Christ to gather in synagogues and places of worship at least once weekly to fellowship, praise, and honor God, our Creator. These religious practices, if performed without genuine desire and heart engagement, can become mere routines, detached from a life pleasing to God and a desire to glorify and submit to Him. Matthew 15:8 is a reminder that outward expression of faith must align with a heart that is connected with God. When our lives are governed by customary rituals, we become complacent, and the purpose of our worship loses its true value because we are committed to following a routine rather than seeking to develop a closer relationship with God.       Our prayers are mere words uttered from our lips with no inclination from the Holy Spirit. We read the word of God but lack the wisdom to co...

Psalms 121:1-2                          Worship song: Jesus We're Depending on You   Let us pray:      Dependable, capable, and adorable God, I have learned to lean and depend on you to supply my needs according to your riches in glory. You are my strength and my shepherd, I lack nothing. All my help comes from You, Lord, so I put my trust in You. Daily, you provided shelter, divine blood courage, and protection for which I am extremely grateful.

Amid adversity and uncertainty, you grant me hope, peace, and happiness. In my distress, your presence calms my anxieties and fears.   ...

Prioritizing Your Desire

By

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 6::25-33 Worship song: I Desire Jesus   Meditation:      What is your greatest desire in life? Is it for worldly gain or the Kingdom of Christ? Your desire to know more about Jesus Christ should be your priority over earthly pursuits. The ultimate aspiration of every believer is to deepen their relationship with Christ and follow the pathway of righteousness. As followers of Christ, we must diligently study God's word to gain knowledge and a profound understanding of his will. Our desire must be to submit fully and surrender to God, our Master.       Reflect on King Solomon's testimony. After experiencing the heights of worldly success, he realized that without a connection to God and a spiritual purpose, even the greatest achievements and pleasures are ultimately meaningless and lead to a sense of emptiness and weariness. King Solomon confessed that all his gain was vanity and vexation of spirit. While we...
