Breaking Protocol

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. John 5: 1-9

Worship song: Oh, It Is Jesus

 


Meditation:

    At the Pool of Bethesda, a large crowd of people with disabilities gathered, hoping for healing from its waters. They believed that when the water was periodically stirred, the first person to enter would be cured. However, this created a system where the fastest and most able had an advantage over the most helpless. In this hopeless environment, a man who had been an invalid for 38 years was trapped by his own limitations and the helplessness of those around him. 

    When Jesus found him, he bypassed the popular belief about the water and offered immediate grace, commanding the man to rise, take up his mat, and walk. This story illustrates that our salvation comes from the Lord, not from rituals or human efforts, and that God's power is not bound by our circumstances. He showed compassion and brought the man wholeness, proving that God's power is not bound by our circumstances or by human limitations. This is a lesson that when we are at our most helpless, it is in our faith in Jesus that we find our true strength.

Let us pray:

    Blessed redeemer, wonderful Saviour, Lord, you are victorious, superior in splendor, gracious and merciful, and matchless in power, you are God all by yourself. Compassionate Lord, we look to no other god but you, for divine help, direction, breakthrough, healing, and deliverance. Though we have many struggles, we are confident, O God, that you will deliver us from them all. Holy Father, we come to you in our weakness, burdened by infirmities. Like the man waiting by the pool, we have no one but you to turn to. We lift our eyes to you, Mighty God, knowing that all our help comes from you alone. Father, while we seek your help, grant us courage and the spirit of endurance to wait patiently for you to heal our brokenness through Jesus Christ, our Advocate. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. 💕🙏🙌

Serve The Lord with Diligence

Good morning Scripture reading: Colossians 3:23-24 Worship song: I Will Serve Thee   Meditation:      Ministers such as Paul and Timothy knew the purpose of their calling, and therefore they labored assiduously to fulfil and accomplish their mission. They remain relentless in the face of persecution and adversity. Paul and Timothy were resilient and unbending, even when faced with opposition, to achieve their objectives. There was no conflict of interest, favoritism, or partiality as they labored diligently to discharge their duties.       To serve diligently and carry out the master's will, we must understand our calling, appreciate it, and remain steadfast and fervent in whatever the Lord has appointed us to do. A call to serve requires us to be committed, dedicated, and fervent in the face of persecution and negative criticism. Matt. 5 reminds us that blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, and blessed you shall ...

Good morning Day of prayer -   Healing   For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, this is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. (Jeremiah 30:17)   Worship song: Heal Me Oh Lord   Let us pray:      Wonderful, magnificent Father, our great High Priest, at your feet I bow and worship you, my Lord, for you deserve all the glory, honor, and praise.

I believe in you, Jesus Christ, and I am extremely grateful that because of yo...

Caught in The Thicket

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 22:1-18 Worship song: My Life, Your offering   Meditation:      The quality of Abraham's faith was put to the test by God. Abraham loved his son, Isaac, but willingly journeyed to the land of Moriah, where God commanded him to go to sacrifice his only son. Though he loved his son dearly, he obeyed God's command and went on the mission without hesitation or questioning God's plan. Just as Abraham lifted the knife to slay his son, the angel of the Lord called him by his name and ordered him to stop. Abraham froze, lifted up his eyes, and looked, and beheld a ram caught in the thicket by its horn.       What is it that God is calling you to sacrifice today? What about sacrificing your earthly pleasures for spiritual gain? When you are weighed down by your mistakes, God's grace, through Jesus, provides a complete and total escape from them. You don't have to carry your burdens alone; God has the power ...
