The Warning

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Genesis 19: 22-26

Worship song: I Won't Go Back

 


Topic: The Warning

God always warns before destroying a city or the wicked; He uses various methods to deliver these warnings, including prophets, spoken words, the Holy Spirit, angels, and other means to ensure people receive his message and have the opportunity to repent before facing destruction. The Bible provides multiple examples of God giving divine forewarnings. These include alerting Noah to the impending flood, dispatching the prophet Jonah to caution the wicked city of Nineveh, disclosing to Abraham his intention to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, and instructing Moses to deliver warnings to Pharaoh. God continues to issue warnings through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, visions, dreams, prophecy, and the Bible. 

    When you receive a warning, pay attention and do not look back; remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Move forward without fear, escape for thy life, lest thou be consumed by the lust of thy sins. Heed God's warning and when you do, stay the course and do not be entangled again with the bondage of sin, for no man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. When you take up the mantle, please do not put it down, forget those things which are behind, and reach forth unto those things which are before. Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Look forward with confidence, for God will be your constant support and guide during life's most trying moments.

Let us pray:

    Most righteous eternal Father, matchless in splendor and majesty, great are you Lord and greatly to be praised. Sovereign God, I am grateful to you, Lord, because you are a faithful God. Lord, I give thanks for the many times you have warned us and the different ways in which you have tried to reach us before executing your plan. Almighty God, while we are wrapped up, entangled in our web of sin, I pray, O God, that we will not be too yoked to recognize your warning signs. Almighty God, I pray that our hearts will not be hardened against the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Father, as we heed your warning, I pray, O God, we will hold onto faith instead of fear and move forward looking towards our higher calling in Christ Jesus. Almighty God, since we have been changed, freed, and delivered, help us not to look back on the former things that once enticed us. Lord, keep our hearts and minds steadfast and focus on you through the help of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed and peaceful day. ✌💕🙏

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...

The Restorer of The Broken

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...

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...

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 ...
