Pressing On at Any Cost

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Philippians 3:12-15

Hymn: I am pressing on

 


Meditation:

    The Apostle Paul, a highly influential witness of Jesus Christ and dedicated preacher of the gospel, faced numerous trials, suffering, and persecution. Despite being imprisoned and persecuted for spreading the gospel, he remained steadfast and committed to the mission. Paul continued his mission to serve, seek, and minister to those who needed to know about Jesus Christ. He was not afraid to venture into dangerous territories. He pressed on to the higher calling by doing the will of God and completing his mission. To press on or press ahead means continuing with a task or activity in a determined way, without allowing any problems or difficulties to stop, delay, or prevent you. 

    Stay focused on your ultimate purpose and maintain your persistence, even when facing challenges. Consider it pure joy when you fall into divers temptation for the testing of your faith comes through trials and tribulations, which produce perseverance and resistance. 2 Cor. 4 8-9 brings comfort and reassurance to those who believe in God. It is a reminder to us that we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. Do not be discouraged, for you are not alone. God promised never to leave nor forsake us. Press on, saints, toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Let us pray:

    Father, excellent in all the earth, I exalt you, O God; I worship and adore you, O Lord, for you are worthy to be praised. I am praying, blessed Savior, for unwavering courage and strength to persevere during difficult moments and for the faith to endure the challenges I encounter. Abba Father, I pray for durability to withstand the pressures and the fiery darts that the enemy throws at me. Father of Heaven and Earth, as I go through this season of testing, empower me so I do not grow weary in these times of uncertainties, pressure, and chaos. I ask, O God, for a fresh baptism of your Holy Spirit to empower me, fill me, and ignite me for service. Please grant me, O God, the spirit of endurance to run the race swiftly and the courage to continue the journey until my task is complete. Lord, I give thee thanks for your grace and mercies, and I ask that you forgive me when I fail to trust you during difficult moments. Lord, as I made my request known to you, I pray you will grant favor to those who share the same sentiment in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. 

Wishing you a joyful day. 💞👏🙏

Escape Judgement

Good morning Scripture reading: Rev. 20:10-15 Worship song: The Old Rugged Cross   Meditation:      If you are thinking, like those who believe, that God will not destroy what he has created, you have the wrong concept. There will come a day when we will all stand before God to be judged according to our deeds. 6 2 Cor. 5:10 clearly states that we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.       In Matthew 13, Jesus Christ explained the parable of the tares to the disciples helping them understand what the kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus Christ declared what the kingdom of heaven is like. He told them that at the end of the world, angels will separate the wicked from among the just and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. God knows all we have done and will do ...

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Rely solely on the divine power of God, trusting Him completely....

Every Knee Shall Bow

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 2:9-13 Worship song: Bow Down and Worship Him   Meditation:      God exalted Jesus above all, granting Him a name that demands universal recognition; all beings will eventually acknowledge Jesus' lordship, culminating in praise for God the Father. Bowing down before God and confessing that the Lord God Omnipotent reigns is ordained by God; it cannot be reversed. We were created to worship, glorify, and exalt God.       All people, rich or poor, Jews or Gentiles, regardless of their current belief, religion, gender, race, language, color, or culture, will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King, submitting to his authority and power. That day is coming, unlike any other day, when every atheist, unbeliever, idol worshipper, and everyone who refused to surrender to the sovereign Lord will acknowledge his authority, lordship, dominion, and sovereignty over all creation. As I live, says th...
