The Restorer of The Broken

By

Good morning.

Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Worship song: Make Me Whole

 


Meditation:

    Our society is equipped with a vast number of skilled professionals and technicians who provide specialized services in various areas. For example, plumbers are called upon for issues related to piping systems, electricians diagnose and repair electrical problems, auto mechanics perform vehicle maintenance and tests, and physicians attend to our medical and diagnostic needs. Not everyone needs these services, but we are all in need of divine intervention to maintain our physical, mental, and spiritual health. 

    We all need a Savior who provides the only way to be made right with a holy God, to receive forgiveness, and to have a life of true purpose. Due to our inherent sinful nature and desires, we constantly breach the fundamental principles and standards set by God. We are all sinners in need of God's grace. We need God's mercy to be restored and live holy lives. By seeking God, the source of life and wholeness, we can receive daily strength and complete restoration for our minds, hearts, bodies, and souls.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, awesome and gracious, we stand before the cross and the Lord of grace and mercy as people in need of restoration. Almighty God, as we humbly bow in your presence, we ask that you examine us, O Lord, and prove us; try our reins and our hearts. Almighty God, you alone have the power to destroy both body and soul, and so, Lord, we beseech you to repair our hearts and minds. Cleanse our hearts from carnal weaknesses, iniquities, and fleshly desires. Renew our minds and grant unto us hearts that yearn for holiness and righteousness. Deliver us, O God, from the power of self-will, and help us to accept your plans, will, and purposes for our lives. Father, we open our lives to you, inviting you to renew our minds and lead us to you. We confess our sins and shortcomings and the offenses we have committed against you. We ask for your mercy to repair the damage we have done and to guide us back to you in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. 

May the peace of God cover you always. ✌💕🙏

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...

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 p...

Serve The Lord with Diligence

By

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 ...
