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. 💞👏🙏

Give Unto The Needy

Good morning Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 15: 7-11 Worship Song: Taste and See   Meditation:      In accordance with the Gospel's mandate, we are called to deepen our understanding of the needs of the poor, accepting that their presence among us is constant. Poverty is a condition where an individual lacks the financial resources to meet a certain standard of living. Jesus' teachings about ministering to the needs of the poor are vital and should not be overlooked. Jesus' advice to the rich man highlights a core principle of following Christ, illustrating that active generosity and charity are necessary for those who seek to fully live by his teachings.       While it's common practice to invite friends and well-off acquaintances to a feast, Jesus instructs us to show generosity to the poor and marginalized, who can offer nothing in return. When we help those in need, we should do so with a joyful and sincere heart, not a resentful att...

Preserved From All Evil

Scripture reading: Psalms 91 Worship song: No Weapon Meditation:  We live in a world where evil and corruption exist; however, believers find comfort in the unwavering assurance of God's faithfulness to protect, rescue, and defend us from the enemy's attack. Even amidst widespread chaos and evil, those who trust in God are divinely protected from hidden snares, temptations, and forces that would lead us astray. The psalmist validates God's relentless protection through personal experience with danger. Also, the Apostle Paul's assurance in the Lord's power to preserve him from all evil is a testament of his unwavering faith in God's divine protection from spiritual and physical adversity. We are reminded to fear not, for no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper. Do not be troubled for every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment will not stand. Do not be afraid of the terror at night or the troubles of the day for no evil shall befall us. The assu...

Rejoice Not Over a Fall

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 24:16-19 Worship song: I Will Boast In Christ   Meditation:      We often celebrate the downfall of our enemies in ignorance, but true wisdom advises us against taking satisfaction in the suffering or failure of our enemies. We are called to serve and pray, fulfilling God's will by loving our enemies rather than condemning them or gloating when they stumble. Instead of feeling excited when our enemies stumble, we must sincerely pray for them.       Whatever persecution we encounter at the hands of our enemies, the ultimate response is to earnestly pray. Do not condemn others; leave all vengeance to God. As you ponder these profound words, ask yourself this provocative question: What do you do or say when your enemy stumbles? Do you feel a sense of excitement when you hear about their misfortune? We are cautioned against rejoicing over a fall, lest our actions displease the Lord. Let us pray...
