Yield Not To Temptation

By

Good morning

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 4:14-19

Worship Song: Lord, I need you

 


Meditation:

    A pothole is a depression in an asphalt pavement that varies in size and shape. If these cracks in the concrete are ignored, they may develop into bigger gaps, endangering the lives of pedestrians and motorists. Sin is like potholes: what seems like a little sin will eventually turn into habitual sin, until it reaches the point where we can no longer control what we do or say. If we do not avoid sin, we will soon find ourselves on the bumpy, rugged road, facing potential dangers. The temptation that leads to sin is often undetected because it is appealing and enticing. 

    The little sins we commit damage our minds and will eventually have serious implications for our spiritual well-being. We can only avoid sin and the desire to sin if we choose to follow the path that leads to righteousness. All the help we need to overcome trials and live victoriously over sin is possible through Jesus Christ, the Word, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ knows we will be faced with many temptations, and it would be difficult for us to avoid the potential to sin without His help. He gave Himself as a ransom to help us navigate and bypass these difficult obstacles. True resistance to sin comes from being securely established in our faith in Christ.

Let us pray:   

    Sovereign God, I acknowledge that there are many obstacles we must face to grow spiritually. Mighty God, help us not to yield to temptations because they are detrimental to our spiritual growth. Teach us, Mighty God, to avoid and discern potential danger zones. Almighty God, I pray for comprehensive blood coverage of our mind, heart, and soul. Help us remain vigilant, strong, and resilient amidst trials and temptations. Lead us not into temptation, O God, but deliver us from evil desires and decrptions, for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Almighty Reliable Father, may we consistently listen to and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us to overcome trials, temptations, and worldly pleasures. Father, we give you thanks through Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. Amen.

Have a blessed day. Keep safe. 💕🙏🙏

    We are Victor's not victims. Regardless of what we suffer we are Victor's and we will have some scars to prove we were in a fight, battered, bruised and bloody. This fight will not end. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you loose some, but we are not a looser. Keep fighting. Stay safe and strong. You are not alone and will never be. 🙏🙏💪💪

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.

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...
