Playing With Fire

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 3:11-17

Worship song: Fires

 


Meditation:

    Young children are fascinated by and naturally drawn to the mesmerizing glow that ignites from a lit match, and the glow that radiates from it captures their attention. They are unaware of the potential danger and or damage that can occur from its inappropriate misuse. A single spark can kindle a fire, and a fire has unlimited potential. Devoured by curiosity, children often ignore the stern warning not to touch or play with fire, but they only need to be burned once to learn not to get close to an open flame. Playing with fire can be fatal, for if you play with fire, you will certainly get burned. 

    No one can take fire in his bosom or walk on fire and not get burned. The proverb implies that one cannot indulge in sin or dangerous situations without suffering the consequences, unless divinely protected.Exposing oneself to the potential for sin and being ignorant of its consequences is like striking a match. A final judgment awaits everyone, where actions will be exposed and tested. This test will reveal whether a person's life was built on a durable foundation of truth or a fragile one of deceit. Therefore, let us be more vigilant and strive for a life of holiness.

Let us pray:

    King of all kings and Lord of all Lords, clothed in splendor and majesty, I glorify you for you are worthy to be praised. God of a second chance, you promised not to despise a contrite heart. Humbled, we lie prostrate before you, confessing that we have been weighed in the scales and found wanting. Father, forgive us, for we have allowed the glamour and the glitter of the world to entice us. We pray, O God, that you ignite our hearts and set them ablaze for your glory. Almighty God, there are times when we feel distant from Your divine presence, drawn away by our own lust and enticement. God, our spirits are battered and bruised, and we come to you, who are a refuge in our trouble, to protect our hearts and minds as they have drifted far from you. Forgive us, O Lord, and turn our wandering hearts to you. Wash us, and purify our hearts and minds through Jesus Christ, our helper. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. Shalom. ✌💕🙏

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 ...

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...

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...

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 (...
