Goodness Demonstrated

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Galatians 5: 22-23

Worship Song: God Is Good

 


Meditation:

    Doing good demonstrates our love, compassion, and kindness. Goodness is one of the essential fruits of the spirit recorded in Galatians 5, which every child of God should seek to obtain. Goodness results in a life characterized by deeds motivated by righteousness and holiness. Doing good demonstrates virtue and a desire to bless others; but salvation itself is a gift from God received through faith, not earned by our actions, which removes any grounds for boasting. Whatsoever we do, we should do it heartily as unto the Lord and not unto men, knowing that of the Lord we shall receive the reward of the inheritance for serving the Lord. 

    Though we are not saved by goodness, God expects us to do good to others, so let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint. While we have the opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith. And let us not hide our light but allow it to shine before men so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father, who is in heaven. You are known by your deeds, so always strive to do good in your neighborhood.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, how excellent is your name in all the earth? From the rising of the sun until the going down, you are still God, and you reign supreme. Father, you are the master of goodness, grace, and mercy, and so, Father, I will forever praise and glorify you. I have acknowledged that no good deeds that I have done and will ever do will earn me salvation, but I understand that doing good is a demonstration of your will and attestation of the fruit of the Spirit. Lord, my deepest desire is to do your will and follow the path of righteousness you set before me. Let your blessings flow through me to others. Equip me with your divine wisdom to honor you in every action. May the fruits of your Spirit in our lives shine as a light before others, revealing your holiness and drawing them into your presence. Empower us, O God, to serve others tirelessly and without weariness, in the mighty name of Jesus Amen.

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌💕🙏

Day of prayer Prayer of Repentance  Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 Worship song: He'll Do It Again   Let us pray: Heavenly Father, clothed in splendor and majesty, we exalt you, O Lord, for you alone are worthy to receive glory, honor, and praise. Lord God, we acknowledge your sovereignty and control over all things, and so we bow in reverence before you, singing, "Holy, holy is Lord God Almighty. We thank you, Most Holy God, for extending grace and mercy unto the just and the unjust. We are grateful for the opportunity you have granted us, allowing us time to repent and set our house in order.       Merciful God, we admit that we have forsaken your commandments and have participated in unholy things. We repent of our idol worship and carnal mindedness. Have mercy on us, O God, according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion, blot out our transgressions. Wash away all our iniquity and clean...

A Thirst for Righteousness

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 6:11-23 Worship song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin   Meditation:      At the beginning of the chapter, the Apostle Paul refuted the misconception that salvation is by grace through faith. Based on his rebuttal, it is clear that the saints were disputing about sin, salvation, law, and grace. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. Although the grace of God abounds with those who yield to righteousness, and his grace is greater than all our sins, we should not remain as servants to sin. Just as one person's disobedience made many people sinners, one person's obedience made many people righteous. When we were controlled by sin, we were not free to pursue righteousness; however, by becoming servants of God, we are now freed from sin's control.       Should the believers who wholeheartedly accepted the doctrine that was delivered to us continue to yield to ungodliness? Should sin have ...

The God of the Impossible

Good morning. Scripture reading: Luke 1:26-38 Worship Song: He Is Able   Meditation:      We often respond to life's challenges with immediate worry and fear, instead of trusting in divine deliverance, despite our faith that our all-powerful God is in control. When fear and doubt occur, remember that we serve a God who calms the stormy wind, helps the Israelites cross the Red Sea on dry ground, delivers them from captivity, opens the wombs of the barren, allows the elderly to conceive, causes a virgin to become pregnant, and performs wondrous miracles. The impossible for humans is possible for God.       God told Jeremiah, 'Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for me?' The same phrasing was used in Genesis 18:14 when the Lord appeared to Sarah and Abraham. This message is a reassurance to believers that God is all-powerful and capable of overcoming any difficulty. "Is there a problem you think too diffi...

A Plan to Terminate

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 1:7-22 Worship song: Jesus Loves Me   Meditation:      Historically, both the Pharaoh, ruler of ancient Egypt, and King Herod, ruler of Judea, initiated schemes to eliminate all newborn males. Herod's motive was to eliminate the potential rival to his power, believing that the child prophesied to be the king of the Jews was a threat to his reign. Pharaoh's motive was similar to that of Herod. Pharaoh saw the Israelites as a potential threat, believing that they would join forces with his allies against him. He tried to control their growth by enslaving them and making them serve with rigor. The plot against children is an ongoing issue of child vulnerability, and violence is a tragic reality.       All children have a fundamental human right to be safe, protected, and empowered to reach their full potential. Children are a precious gift from God and a blessing to be cherished. Our responsibility is ...
