The Lord Has Broken Thy Works

By

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 God, and his lifestyle choices provoked the wrath of God. He chose to worship and serve the Baal gods, instead of serving the God of Israel. Jehoshaphat made a bad decision when he joined an alliance with Ahaziah and therefore reaped the consequences of his choice. Solomon's ships returned safely, but Jehoshaphat's vessels never reached the land of gold.

Let us pray:

    Lord God, my maker and the lover of my soul, I raise a hallelujah to you, Lord, for you are worthy of praise. Almighty God, in our ignorance, we sometimes make choices and decisions that cause us to join alliances with unbelievers. Father, we seek your divine intervention to sever any relationships that caused us to become unequally yoked together with idol worshippers. Father, I beseech you to help us make choices and choose counterparts who believe in you, fear you, accept you as King, and worship you only. Father, I pray that we will seek to be holy, harmless, undefiled, and separated from evil-doers lest our living becomes vain and our labor broken by you. Almighty God, I pray that we denounce and detach ourselves from unfamiliar spirits and those who worship foreign and Baal gods. Father, may we, O God, hold fast to your teachings and principles, trusting the leading and the prompting of the Holy Spirit, our comforter through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

 

Wishing you a peaceful day. Keep safe. ✌💗🙏

    Blessed morning. God is faithful. We are living in a broken world , a broken world won't give you answers. Everything is upside down. Wrong is right, and right is wrong.But not for long, no, not for long. Loving God , we come before You with heavy hearts, acknowledging the brokenness that surrounds us. We see conflict, suffering, and injustice, and we yearn for a different way. We trust in Your promise that You have overcome the world, and You will bring about a final restoration. May Your Kingdom come, and may Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. In Jesus' name, Amen.Stay blessed. 🙌🏾

Not Satisfied with The Husk

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Worship Song: Satisfied   Meditation:      The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his reality, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, yet he later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness. Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices instead of embracing the divine grand cuisine that the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the Almighty Father stands ready to welcome you home? God values you more than any career or material gain.       The life you crave, one of true purpose, is found with Christ. There is immense joy in heaven whenever someone decides to leave a life of sin behind. If you are weary of st...

Better Awaits You

Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21 Praise song: Jerusalem   Meditation:      This world is unpredictable and full of trials, sadness, and disappointment; nevertheless, we hold onto the divine promise of a restored life through our Lord. A time is coming when suffering will cease, and God will bring an end to all sorrow, sickness, and death. While we look forward to the future, our focus should be on serving God fully and living his way. This life is a journey, not our final destination. For those who place their trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is assured. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive when he shall return shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and be with him forever.       As we serve the Lord with gladness, and worship Him in spirit and truth, let us be prepared to meet Him. If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, do...

Abound in Knowledge

Good morning  Scripture reading: 2 Peter 1: 1–10 Worship song: Worthy Meditation:      In addition to staying pure from worldly corruption and being diligent, Peter's letters outline several specific attributes of good stewardship. He advised us to add these attributes to remain fruitful and fertile. The Apostle Peter describes a process for developing spiritual maturity. His guidelines instruct believers to purposefully adopt Christlike characteristics, behave in a righteous and godly manner, use their gifts to serve others, practice cheerful hospitality, and remain humble. We must actively use the resources God has given us to guide our actions and achieve our purpose. The more knowledge we have of God, the closer we get to Him, and the more we learn to apply the steps necessary for spiritual growth, of which the greatest attribute that we need to obtain is love. When we forsake all to follow Christ, the word of God empowers us, and the Holy Spirit equip...

The Throne of Grace

By

Good morning Scripture: Hebrews 4: 14-16 Praise song: Bow down and Worship   Meditation:      The high priest alone had the privilege of entering the innermost chamber of the temple once a year, where he offered a sacrifice to God on behalf of himself and the people to atone for their sins. The sacrifices were offered by the high priest, respectively, for himself, the other priests, and the people. The animals offered for the remission of sin had no spots, defects, or blemishes. The priest was given the task of carrying the burden, the heavy weight, and the iniquities of the people before the throne of grace.       This responsibility changed when Jesus Christ came and sacrificed himself for the atonement of our sins. Through Christ, the role of the priest as an intercessor has been abolished, and everyone now has direct unlimited access to God's grace. Therefore, let us accept this golden opportunity with gratitude, come boldly to the t...
