At The Checkpoint

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 Cor. 11:28-31

Worship song: I Give You My Heart

 


Meditation:

    During 2020, several military checkpoints were established in different areas under enhanced security measures to intercept the free movement of criminals. The things exposed during scrutiny at a checkpoint are quite alarming. A checkpoint is a barrier or manned entrance, typically at a border, where travelers are subject to security checks. It is also a place where vehicles are examined. 

    Jesus Christ has established a checkpoint, and daily we are scrutinized by our Lord Jesus Christ. All our deeds, thoughts, and actions are recorded, whether they are good or evil. It is our personal responsibility to ensure our lives align with the divine requirements of our Lord. This requires examining our hearts, minds, lifestyles, and spiritual connections to ensure they align with God's will. We must confess our sins and repent daily to follow God's will. We must strive to keep inner sin from stopping our spiritual growth and deeper connection with God. This practice helps to foster spiritual connection and maintain alignment with the divine will. 

    As we do our routine self-examination, we must test ourselves to see if our lifestyle truly reflects the moral standards and principles taught by Jesus Christ.

Let us pray:

    My Father and my God, we welcome your scrutiny this morning. Lord, as we face this spiritual checkpoint, I ask for Your grace to see and overcome the worldly distractions, so we can faithfully enter the narrow gate that leads to life, relying solely on You. I pray, O God, that our daily lifestyles will be in alignment with your will and desires. Thou knowest our foolishness, and our sins are not hidden from you, O God. Deliver us, Father God, out of the mire, and let us not sink into the depths of our sins. Please purge and cleanse our hearts, minds, and souls, and remove all our sins and iniquity. We sincerely confess and repent of trespassing against you, Mighty God. Please forgive us, Lord, of secret sins known and unknown. Forgive us of carnal weaknesses, pride, and self-will. Blot out all our transgressions, O God, and free our hearts, minds, and souls from the residue of our past. Have mercy on us, O God, and grant us your grace that we may obtain your gift of eternal life in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 

Peace ✌and love💕.

God Favored Me

Good morning Day of Testimony- God Favored Me I  will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Psalms 22:22 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   My Testimony:      Although I accepted Jesus Christ in my teenage years, I did not know what it meant to genuinely serve Him. I broke my covenant with Christ, but after several years of wandering through the wilderness, I came to realize that my life is meaningless without Him. Now I am walking in newness of life with Christ as my anchor and my rock. I draw strength from the divine assurance that I am never alone, even amidst the toughest struggles.       When I remember the price Christ paid for my redemption, and when I remember that the broad road leads to destruction, I must fight the good fight of faith, hold firm to God's promise of eternal life, whereunto I am called, and have publicly professed before many witnesses. Looking back, m...

Icing on the Cake

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Praise song: Your Grace and Mercy   Meditation:      When a cake is covered with frosting, all you can see is the sculptor's intricate design, incorporating precise shapes and patterns to achieve an appealing finish. Cakes that are broken are not discarded but covered so you cannot see the imperfections that lie beneath the attractive decorations of their beautiful frosting. This is what grace does to our brokenness. The grace of God is a redeeming act of love that covers our brokenness like icing on a cake, transforming it into His radiant beauty until we are completely whole. God's grace is sufficient to forgive and cleanse all sins, offering a path to redemption and a new beginning.       No matter the condition of our heart, the grace of God who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus Christ will strengthen, establish, and make you perfect. The grace of God is sufficie...

Good morning - Day of prayer Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalms 48:1-2   Worship song: How Great Is Our God Let us Pray:      Merciful, Wonderful Savior, great are you, Lord, and greatly to be praised. There is none as great as you, Lord. I will lift my voice in gratitude, O God, and praise you for your goodness; you are gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. I will sing of your unsearchable greatness, which far exceeds our wildest imagination. You speak into the darkness, and light appears. Lord, I praise you for your awesome power; you commanded the dust of the ground to form man, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul. Lord, you are undeniably the God of Impossibilities; you command the elements an...

Procrastination is a Deadly Trap

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 12: 29-33 Worship song: Run to The Father   Meditation:      The moment Pharaoh explicitly refused to obey God's command to let the Israelites go, he set in motion his own downfall. Pharaoh had the opportunity to consider the negotiation plan and consult his advisors about releasing the Israelites, but instead of reaching a mutually acceptable agreement, Pharaoh rejected the offer. By continuously postponing their release, he ultimately faced the tragic consequences of indecisiveness, rebelliousness, and hard-heartedness, culminating in the loss of his firstborn.       To ensure we make the right decisions and follow divine instruction, divine guidance continues to be channeled through God's chosen servants, enabling humanity to discern righteous paths and adhere to His sovereign will and commandments. God's patience with Pharaoh is a testament to the opportunities for right choices He still pr...
