Will Not Inherit The Kingdom

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11

Praise song: Change My Heart Oh God



 

Meditation:

    In the passage from 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that those who will not inherit the kingdom of God are the unrighteous and the ungodly. Individuals who disregard the guidance of the Holy Spirit and fail to surrender to God's will and commands are at risk of exclusion from this divine kingdom promise. Those who seek to fulfill the desires of the flesh, living to please and satisfy the self rather than the creator will miss this inheritance. 

    Apostle Paul's message serves as a reminder to the Corinthian believers informing them about who is eligible to inherit the kingdom. Based on his teachings, one would get the understanding that the believers were not fully aware as to who would inherit the Kingdom of God. Paul told them not to be deceived, for the unrighteous and the ungodly will not inherit God's Kingdom. The context of this passage emphasizes that the continuous pursuit of the desires of the flesh and the refusal to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour can lead to perishing in our trespasses and sins. 

    If God is speaking to you today, do not harden your heart. Pursue righteousness, serve God, and obey His precepts and commands so that you will be numbered among the inheritors of His Kingdom.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God blessed redeemer and friend, I am extremely grateful for your tender mercies and unconditional love towards us. Father, we thank you for your gift of salvation, asking for your grace to help us live a life worthy of the inheritance. I pray, O God, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, we will continue to shun the appearances of evil and walk the path of righteousness and holiness daily. Father, when our flesh becomes weak, empower us with your supernatural strength. Almighty God, where there is weakness, strengthen us; where there is self-will, incline our hearts to seek after righteousness. Where we lack understanding, grant us wisdom, lest we falter and turn away from following after you. Amen. 

Wishing you a wonderful day. 💕🙏

    That is the one thing we cannot afford to miss, the kingdom of God. While we share in it now, the eternal state when everything is finalized we cannot miss. What we do now determines whether we are in or not. Let us share in our walk and talk as we travel together. Blessings.

Spiritual Decline

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-4 Worship song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      Spiritual decline refers to a decrease or deterioration of one's connection to the Divine, marked by a decline in faith, moral integrity, spiritual wisdom, or religious devotion. This is often caused by disobedience to God's word, increased idolatry practices, indulgence in worldly pleasures, and a decrease in godly and ethical standards. Neglecting to pray and a lack of spiritual energy, demonstrated by a loss of desire to worship and connect with other believers, mark the beginning of all spiritual decline.       When we neglect God's divine direction and uphold our own standards, it demonstrates spiritual blindness and a hardness of heart. It is our unholy actions that create a barrier between us and God. As stated in Isaiah 52, our wrongful actions caused God to turn away, preventing Him from hearing our pleas as He withdraws Himself f...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
