Blessed Are the Meek

By

Good morning

 Scripture reading: Matthew 5:4

Worship song: Let the Peace of God Reign

 


Meditation:

    It is difficult to maintain your composure and remain calm, gentle, and peaceful among those who display hostile and arrogant behavior. Still, we must possess the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit, which serve as evidence to prove that we are truly children of God. While Jesus sat with the multitude and his disciples, he taught them about the beatitudes and the reward of possessing such qualities. One of the beatitudes that are important in the life of a child of God is having the spirit of meekness. Meekness is an attribute of the Savior that is desperately needed today. It is a spiritual gift obtained through the Holy Spirit. 

    Those who possess such qualities have a humble attitude that expresses wisdom, self-control, patience, and a calmness that is not easily provoked. Being meek does not mean you are a coward, it shows that you are pursuing righteousness, godliness, gentleness, perseverance, and patient endurance of offenses. Jesus refers to the meek as blessed. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. As children of God, let us seek earnestly to obtain meekness, and be kind to one another. Let us be mindful of how we react to criticism, slander, or unjust treatment.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, slow to anger, matchless in splendor and power, faithful to all generations, you are good and your mercies endure forever. Almighty God, most holy and righteous, at your feet I bow, seeking to dwell daily in your presence, for you are the true and living wise God who liberates and frees us from spiritual bondages. Grant us enduring strength, the spirit of meekness, and hearts that know how to withstand difficult times and the malicious acts of the ungodly. Almighty God, I earnestly wait upon you to equip us with the fruit of the Spirit. Empower us, O God, with patience, the peace of God, gentleness, love, and compassion so that we may display the attributes of our Savior, and shine as children of light through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a wonderful day. 💕🙌🙏

A Thirst for Righteousness

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 6:11-23 Worship song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin   Meditation:      At the beginning of the chapter, Apostle Paul refuted the misconception that salvation is achieved through grace by faith. Based on his rebuttal, it is clear that the saints were disputing about sin, salvation, law, and grace. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. Although the grace of God abounds with those who yield to righteousness, and his grace is greater than all our sins, we should not remain as servants to sin. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.       Before, you were enslaved to sin, and righteousness was not a factor in your life. Now, freed from sin, you have become servants to God. Should the believers who obeyed from the heart the doctrine that was delivered to us continue to yield our members to ungodliness? Shall...

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...
