The Conditional Promise

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 7:14

Worship song: If My People

 


Meditation:

    After the dedication of the temple, the Lord appeared to Solomon with a covenant promise. In this profound message to the Israelites, God promised to heal their land and forgive their transgressions a divine covenant that comes with conditions. In return for their freedom, God specified four conditions that must be fulfilled by the Israelites. 

    The first recommendation was for the Israelites to humble themselves before God and acknowledge their dependence on him. Secondly, they were to communicate with God through fervent prayer. Thirdly, seek and pursue a deeper relationship with God and align their lives to his will. And the fourth recommendation was to recognize and take responsibility for their sins, making a conscious choice to change their behavior and seek God's forgiveness. 

    This scripture states that when we sincerely repent and obey all his commands, he will forgive and restore us. When the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. We are warned to repent and turn from all our transgressions so that iniquity will not be our ruin. The Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked; His desire is that all persons receive salvation and be saved.

Let us pray:

     Alpha and Omega, I glorify and exalt your holy name. I praise you, Lord God, for your grace and mercies which are renewed each day. You are awesome and your mercy endures forever. Father, we thank you for the privilege of confessing and repenting of our transgressions and iniquities, known and unknown. Lord God, we have strayed from the path you set for us. With sorrow for our choices, we return to you, trusting in your mercy to heal what is broken. Lord God, we solely depend on you for spiritual guidance and direction. Change our hearts, O God, renew a right spirit within us, and teach us your way. We are calling on you, Lord to help us overcome temptations and fleshly desires. We willingly leave behind sinful habits to actively pursue a relationship with you, Almighty God. Lord, I pray that you will hear us from heaven and heal our land in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen. 

Wishing you a joyful day. 👏💖🙏

Good morning Day of Prayer - For the Church And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. St. Matthew 16:18 Worship song: Upon This Rock   Let us Pray:      Most righteous, eternal, and merciful God, we submit to your authority knowing you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and praise. Father, I intercede on behalf of the churches; the genuine worshippers and the ones leading your children astray. I pray, O God, for a holy visitation upon those who profess to be walking in light but are still walking in the darkness. I pray, Lord God, that the hour will arrive when we all worship you in spirit and truth. Father, we acknowledge that the signs of the times are everywhere. We realize that many false prophets have risen up among us creating confusion by spreading false teachings. Lord, these false teachers have found themselves among the body of Christ appearing a...

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...

Left Behind

Good morning Day for Testimony - Left Behind   Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. St. Matthew 24: 40-41 Worship song: I pray We'll Be Ready   Personal Testimony:     My recent awareness of others sharing rapture experiences has brought to memory a vivid vision from my past. During my teenage years, I witnessed a celestial event in which the clouds burst open, revealing the appearance of the Son of God, surrounded by a bright light, looking down on the earth while people were busy ascending. In that moment, my family was taken upward, and I was left behind, weeping bitterly. Though it was just a dream, the thought of being left behind by God and abandoned by my loved ones was profoundly traumatic, leaving me with a crippling awareness of the possibility of rejection caused by a life not totally surrendered to God.   ...

The Lord Has Broken Thy Works

Good morning Scripture: 1 Kings 22: 48-53 Worship song: Spirit of the Living God   Meditation:      Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king of Judah and served Jerusalem for twenty-five years, following in the footsteps of his father Asa. Jehoshaphat worshipped not the gods of his ancestors but sought the Lord God of his father, Asa, and walked according to God's commands. Therefore, the Lord was with Jehoshaphat and gave him control over Judah, and all the people brought him gifts so that he became extremely wealthy.       After his father's death, he joined an alliance with Israel's King Ahaziah to make ships in Ezion-Geber. Jehoshaphat’s desire to build ships was so that he could get gold from Ophir, but the fleet of ships was destroyed by the Lord in Ezion-Geber before they set sail to Tarshish because he chose to work with someone who worshiped foreign gods. The king of Israel, Ahaziah, had done wickedness in the sight of Go...
