A Time to Celebrate

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Exodus 15:1-21

Worship song: Celebrate Jesus Celebrate

 


Meditation:

    To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven where joy and celebration are inevitable. Celebration is a spiritual discipline and one that we need to practice daily. There are many reasons to celebrate. While Moses guided the Israelites through the Red Sea to freedom, his sister Miriam, a prophetess, led the women in a joyous celebration with music and dance. With a heart full of gratitude, Hannah celebrated God's faithfulness after He blessed her with a son. With the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls finished, Nehemiah guided the people in offering great sacrifices and rejoicing loudly in God. 

    Today, we commemorate the resurrection of Christ, our Lord, who, through his atoning sacrifice, provided salvation from the inescapable power of sin. The act of celebration serves as a profound affirmation of God's goodness, ushering us into a season of laughter, victory, and abundant joy. Our response to every blessing, big or small, should be a resounding glorification of God through worship, praise, and thanksgiving. Every hard-earned victory demands a celebration. There is always something worthy of rejoicing; let us rejoice in the Lord always.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we come before your presence with thanksgiving in our hearts. This is the day you have made, Lord God; we will rejoice and be glad. We give thanks to you, Lord God, for you are good and your mercy endures forever. We thank you, Lord God, for every battle you fought on our behalf, for defeating the giants in our lives and removing the mountains that stand against us. Lord, we celebrate victory over sickness, sin, death, generational curses, rebellion, tribulations, and every weapon formed against us. We celebrate every waking moment and the opportunity to bask in your presence, to connect with you through the Holy Spirit. Lord, we thank You for fulfilling Your plans and purposes in our lives. Lord, I express gratitude for salvation, redemption, uncommon favor, mercy, grace, and every breath we breathe. You are the hope we cling to when circumstances seem hopeless. Thank you, Lord, for carrying us when our faith falters in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you long life, peace, and prosperity. ✌💕🙏

    We celebrate life this morning. How long have we lived and how many challenges we overcome. Time for introspection and action on our part. While looking back should motivate us forward for we have come this far by faith leaning on the Lord. Let us find joy in small or big accomplishment and rejoice and be glad in the Lord. It has been a mighty long way He has brought us. Let us give thanks with a grateful heart for what the Lord has done. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Have a wonderful day and keep on keeping on. 💪🙏

Somebody Prayed

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 6:9-13 Worship song: Somebody Pray for Me   Meditation:      Prayer is an essential tool in the lives of every believer, which is a form of direct communication with our Heavenly Father. Through prayer, we seek divine help for seen and unforeseen troubles by appealing to God for guidance, protection, and strength. When we pray, we acknowledge our dependence on God and trust Him to change the situation we commit to Him. We are assured in Psalms 102:17 that God will regard the prayer of the destitute and not despise their prayer.      The prayers of those living righteously are heard and powerful and effective enough to bring about significant results. The word of God promises us in Matthew 21 that whatsoever we ask in prayer, believing, we shall receive. According to the scriptures, Hannah and Elizabeth prayed fervently to God about their barrenness. After many years of ceaseless prayer, God rem...

Why Don't You Try Jesus?

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 John 4:4-6 Worship song: Praise His Name   Meditation:      The social environment significantly influenced our development and how we deal with adversity. Whatever we are exposed to and whoever influences us can positively or negatively impact us. Our coping mechanism depends on our personal habits and the impact of the people we surround ourselves with. God does not govern our choices. He has given us the power to choose.       We must recognize when our decisions are harmful and have the wisdom to choose a different path. Redirection provides the essential and ultimate change for individuals who have been led astray and have pursued a destructive path. The adversary's plan is to keep us bound and distracted by worldly influences, but Jesus provides a pathway to liberation for all who call on his name. If you are uncomfortable and your choice is a burden, come and lay it all down, and Jesus will give y...

The Scapegoat Ritual

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Leviticus 16 Worship song: By His wounds   Meditation:      A scapegoat is a goat used in a biblical ritual, described in Leviticus, to achieve atonement and purification for the Israelites. On the Day of Atonement, the people's sins were symbolically transferred to the goat, which was then sent into the wilderness to carry their transgressions away. The ritual that was practice before Christ's sacrificial offering was the priest would lay both his hands upon the head of a live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and transgressions of the sins of the children of Israel, putting them upon the head of the goat, and then send it away by the hand of a competent man into the wilderness and release it in the wild.       Today, we are humbly invited into the presence of God's grace to confess our sins before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and it was for our tra...

Move Mountain

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 17:14-21 Worship song: Who Are You Great Mountain   Meditation:      The emotional story relating to a desperate father's concern for his son's well-being is a reminder that faith is not about evidence; it is believing and hoping for a favorable outcome despite uncertainty. Jesus demonstrated that faith is sustained by hope, not evidence. At Jesus' command, the tormenting spirit immediately departed, bringing an end to the boy's emotional suffering. The comforting message of Jesus reveals the power through faith to overcome obstacles that seem impossible. Jesus used a mountain as a metaphor to illustrate the insurmountable challenges we encounter.       With a faith anchored in God's power, like a tiny mustard seed, we can overcome the mountain-sized obstacles that disrupt our spiritual, physical, or emotional state. The lesson is not about the size of our faith, but that our victory depends on...
