Do You Have Enough Fuel?

By

Good Morning

Scripture reading: Matthew 25: 1-13

Mediation song: Give Me Oil in My Lamp






 Meditation:

    Have you ever experienced the frustration of your vehicle running out of fuel, leaving you stranded on the roadway? Has a power outage ever interrupted a crucial moment, only for you to discover the generator is also out of fuel? Anyone who experiences low resources understands what it means to be in a state of unpreparedness. 

    The bridesmaids waited to meet the bridegroom, but he was delayed longer than they anticipated. When the bridegroom arrived at midnight, the ten virgins woke to prepare their lamps, but the foolish five discovered they lacked enough oil for the long wait and missed the opportunity to go with the bridegroom. The five wise virgins rejoice because they have sufficient oil. The oil in our lamp represents the presence of the Holy Spirit within us, and we are the lamp in which the Holy Spirit dwells. The wise virgins are the believers in Christ who are dwelling in God's presence, watching and waiting patiently for his return. The foolish virgins symbolize those who are spiritually unprepared, prioritizing worldly pursuits over seeking salvation. 

    Running low on resources teaches us the practical consequence of lack of preparation. Only a substantial presence of God in our life can keep the fire burning through the dark nights. Don't wait until you are empty; stay connected to the main source of spiritual strength to maintain your supply and keep the fire burning. Trim your lamp daily and enhance your spiritual life by spending time in deep meditation on scripture, prayer, praise, and worship. Ephesians 5:18-19 encourages us to be filled with the Spirit. We ought to speak to ourselves psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melodies in our hearts to the Lord.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, Rock of Ages, You are our strong tower, the solid rock on which we stand. Abba Father, I pray you will bless us with strength, endurance, and patience to run this race swiftly. In moments of exhaustion, Lord, renew our spirits; help us run this race with endurance and assurance, secure in the knowledge of Your sustaining power and life-giving presence. We pray, O God, that You keep our inner light burning brightly and shield us from spiritual emptiness. Breathe upon us this morning, the breath of life, and fill our lamps with fresh oil to sustain us daily. Let the power from heaven fall on us, Almighty God, as you pour new wine, new anointing, and Holy Ghost fire in us. Make us an oracle to be used for your glory; make us whatever you want us to be. Fill us with your supernatural power to overcome all obstacles in our path through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Wishing you abundant blessings. 💕🙏🙏

The Spirit of Fear

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 4:6-7 Worship song: Fear is a Liar   Meditation:      Every day, we confront fear, and if we let it overwhelm us, it can rob us of our joy and peace. Fear is defined as the emotional response to an imminent or perceived threat of danger, pain, or evil, frequently resulting in feelings of worry and discomfort. This fear, which causes people to doubt God's power and faithfulness, is not from God but is considered a human limitation. God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-control. Fear will keep us from fulfilling our responsibilities and prevent us from doing the will of God.       The word of God reminds us in Isaiah 41:10 to fear not and be not dismayed, for God is with us; he will strengthen, help, and uphold us with his righteous right hand. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. Fearing man is a dangerous trap, but when you fear the Lord, you ar...

That Little Fox

By

Good Morning Scripture reading: Song of Solomon 2:15 Worship song: Here's My Heart Lord   Meditation:      King Solomon warns us to catch the little foxes before they ruin the vines that have tender grapes. Little foxes are destructive to the vines because they attack the roots and stems, which are the lifeline of the plant. The little foxes are the seemingly insignificant sins that burrow into our lives that we refuse to shun. The little foxes are the seemingly minor issues that we disregard, the deceptions and lies that we accept, which appear harmless yet have the potential to wreak havoc on our spiritual well-being and relationship with God.       When we consistently disregard these habitual sins, they can lead to major sins, which will ultimately harm our character and hinder spiritual growth. A little spark kindled a fire; likewise, little willful sin defiles the conscience, so beware of the little foxes lurking in your vineyard (...

No Foreign God

Good morning Scripture reading: Judges 10 Praise song: You deserve the glory   Meditation:      The children of Israel constantly trespassed against the Lord God by worshipping and bowing to false gods. Their desire to serve other gods kindled God's wrath against them. They disobey God's commandments and then appeal for mercy and forgiveness. God's help was conditional on the Israelites' obedience. Each time they rebelled and turned to other gods, He handed them over to their enemies. However, whenever they humbly repented and turned back to Him, He forgave them and sent a deliverer to rescue them. Jehovah God is a compassionate, merciful, loving, and forgiving God, but that does not mean we should blatantly sin against him.       The same command that applies to the Israelites still applies to us today. We are to put away the foreign gods that are among us, fear the Lord, and serve Him sincerely. Anything we idolize and worship other th...

Your Divine Purpose

Good morning Day of prayer   Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21   Worship song: Not My Will   Let Us Pray:      Sovereign God, clothed in splendor and majesty, I honor, worship, and adore you, O Lord, as my Father and King. Almighty God, I seek your divine intervention as I acknowledge that I have failed to hearken to your will daily. Almighty God, I humbly beseech you to restrain our self-will, aligning our lives with Your divine purpose. Free us, O God, from self-will, and let your will reside in us; let your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven, mighty God. Lord, we seek not to be conformed to this world, but to discern your will and what is good, acceptable, and well-pleasing in your sight.       Lord God, take command over every unfamiliar spirit and every spirit that is not authorized by ...
