The Ultimate Chance Given

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Micah 7:18-20

Worship song: God of a Second Chance

 


Meditation:

    Throughout the scriptures, second chances were extended to many, including the Israelites, Apostle Paul, the Ninevites, King David, and the prodigal son. The Israelites' repeated unfaithfulness never exhausted God's unending compassion. God's inexhaustible patience and boundless mercy were extended to the Israelites despite their frequent acts of disobedience. The parable of the prodigal son offers a profound narrative that illustrates God's unconditional love and readiness to restore those who have strayed and desire to return to Him. 

    God demonstrated the depth of his love for us by having Christ die on our behalf at a time when we were still in rebellion against him so that we might be saved from the coming judgment. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Lamentations 3 teaches us that God's steadfast love is unfailing, and His mercy and compassion are renewed each day, demonstrating His great and enduring faithfulness. Second chances emphasize God's continual mercy and patience, the ultimate chance given through Jesus Christ.

 

Let us pray:

    Most righteous eternal Father, we express our sincere heartfelt gratitude to you, O God, for extending grace, unconditional love, compassion, and boundless mercy to us despite our acts of disobedience. It is a wonderful feeling to know that through the shedding of your efficacious blood, we are saved. We thank you, O God, that you have saved us and, with your mercy, forgave us. We thank you, Lord God, for showing us mercy when we deserve your wrath. God, your grace is enough for it is made perfect in our weakness. Lord, we surrender every act of rebelliousness and disobedience to embrace your grace which gives us freedom. We surrender the things we cling to and commit to serving you, Lord God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

 Wishing you a fantastic day. 💕👏🙏

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...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
