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 drive out. Satan's desire is to become a permanent resident and make your life miserable, but Jesus wants to give you, His peace.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, I give thanks for this privilege to come to the throne of grace. Father, we give you the key to our minds and hearts and grant you access to eradicate spiritual squatters to allow the Holy Spirit residency. Through the authority and power granted to us by Jesus Christ, we declare every spiritual demonic squatter taking up residence in our hearts and minds bound by the power of the Almighty God. Lord, I declare our hearts and minds guarded against Satan and his evil vindictive plans. Father, as we put on the full armor of God, empower us to build and maintain a defense mechanism against the enemy's attacks so that he will not be able to conquer us. We claim victory over every scheme of the enemy through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed and safe day.  💕👏🙏

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...

Thou of Little Faith

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 14:22-33 Worship Song: Didn't I Walk on The Water   Meditation:      Displaying exceptional faith and courage, Peter stepped onto the water's surface at Jesus's command. But when he saw the fierce wind and boisterous waves, fear conquered his faith, causing him to sink as he took his eyes off Jesus. Like Peter, we often start with unwavering faith but panic and succumb to fear, anxiety, and worry the moment we encounter difficult challenges. Fear will prevail where we fail to acknowledge Jesus' sovereignty and power to overcome the impossible.       The apostles marveled at Jesus' power and sovereignty, but he promised they would one day perform even mightier deeds than his. Beloved, remember the wonder-working power of Christ and trust in His hand. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and do not fear or tremble, for He who calms the sea and quenches the fiery furnace can calm the giants in and around us. Be r...

If God Be for Us

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 8:31-39 Worship song: If God Is for Me   Meditation:      With God on your side, no enemy can truly triumph over you, even when it seems they are succeeding during persecution or tribulation. It may look like they are succeeding when they mock us or threaten us, but God's purpose and support for us are far greater than any force against us. Though we are oppressed and chastised by our adversary, we shall overcome for we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. We are reminded by Apostle Paul that nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.       Amidst human rejection, we can draw strength from the knowledge that God's love is beyond measure and without condition. Do not be dismayed or fear those who are against you for God will never leave you. He will strengthen you and uphold you with His righteous right hand. If God be for us, tell me who can t...

Waiting Cultivates Patience

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 130 Worship song: I Will Wait for You   Meditation:      The Bible is rich with stories demonstrating God's faithfulness to his promises, revealing how and when they were accomplished. The biblical accounts of Abraham, Sarah, Hannah, and Joseph illustrate how God's promises unfold over time, through testing, and in ways that are often unexpected. While the divine promise took many years to materialize for these individuals, their stories demonstrate God's enduring faithfulness. Patience is a virtue that is built over time as a result of waiting for a promise to be fulfilled. However, not everyone has the gift of waiting patiently.       Habakkuk 1:1-2 highlights the prophet's frustration and confusion over the delay of God's judgment, as he witnessed widespread violence and injustice, leading him to question why God seems unmoved by his desperate cries for divine intervention. Like the Prophet Habak...
