The Essential Role

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:1-9

Worship song: Teach Me to Obey

 


Meditation:

    The Apostle Paul, in his sixth epistle to the Ephesians, addresses the household and how believers should live their lives in light of salvation. He specifically addresses the responsibility within the family structure, urging respect, obedience, and adherence to instructions. Paul highlights the essential role of instilling biblical principles, particularly encouraging fathers to guide their children with love and wisdom. 

    Children are encouraged to honor and respect their parents, aligning their behavior with godly authority. Children's obedience to parents and servants to their masters should be motivated by the desire to honor God and live by his precepts. Likewise, the master should treat their servant with respect, justice, fairness, and kindness, knowing they have to answer to their heavenly Master. Let your conduct be honorable to God, pleasing him with goodwill, doing the will of God from the heart. Every person will be judged by God according to their actions regardless of whether they are bound or free.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father clothed in splendor and majesty, we exalt your name above all. Lord, we thank you for your word of wisdom and for inspiring holy men to write what you want to reveal to us. God, we surrender our lives to Your divine teachings. May our days be filled with Your Spirit, and may every choice we make reflect Your heart, not our own. May we treat others with the utmost respect, kindness, and justice, knowing we have a master who will judge us according to our actions. Empower us, Lord, to love others as you have loved us. May we, O God, through divine guidance, be steadfast in following sacred commands extending compassion, mercy, and kindness while loving others as you loved us in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you abundant blessings. 👏💖🙏

    The responsibility of role leader are expected of every mature leaders. The idea of living for ourselves is no more. Once we are on earth interacting with people, we will emerge leaders once we live a moral and disciplined life. May we meet God's Expectations of us.🙏

A Jealous Eye

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 18 Worship song: This Is Amazing Grace   Meditation:      King Saul's expression of love for David turned into a jealous rage, triggered when the people applauded David publicly for his victorious defeat of the Philistines. Driven by an envious and malicious spirit, King Saul turned against David, viewing his servant as a direct threat to his throne. Despite recognizing that God had shifted His favor to David, a fearful and jealous Saul made repeated, failed attempts to murder his successor, fueled by intense rage.       When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. The Lord will preserve the souls of his people and protect us from all evil. No force can overpower those shielded by the Almighty; in times of disaster, the believer rests in divine safety. Do not fear your enemies for if God is on your side, no one can truly stand against you....

Covered With A Mask

Good morning Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:30-32  Worship Song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      A minister once said we mask bitterness as memory, defend it as justice, and store it as debt owed. Bitterness is like residue that builds up over time from accumulated anger, resentment, pain, or perceived unfairness, ultimately leading to unforgiveness. Consider bitterness as a plant with its leaves looking green but its root is rotting from fungal infection. Eventually, the entire plant will collapse. You can be called, gifted, and anointed, ministering and winning souls for the Kingdom of God, but still foster a heart of bitterness.       The Apostle Paul boldly urges us in Ephesians 4:31 to put away all bitterness and wrath. He further advises us to reject and renounce our former ways, which are tainted by sinful habits. The Holy Spirit cannot freely work in a life that is holding onto malice, anger, and unforgiveness. Neither wi...

Respond With Urgency

Good morning Scripture reading: Esther 4 Worship song: Hear my Cry, O Lord   Meditation:      Deeply disturbed by Mordecai sitting at the King's gate in mourning apparel, Queen Esther immediately sent him new clothes to replace his sackcloth, but he refused the garment. She later discovered his actions were a public display of grief over a written royal decree instigated by Haman to destroy all Jews. Too often, we jump to conclusions and hasten to judge, criticize, or condemn others' actions without awareness of their motives.       After uncovering the truth, Queen Esther initiated a mandatory three-day fast for all the Jews, declaring that she would break the protocol and enter the King's chamber, fully prepared to accept the fatal consequences that might follow.   Mordecai's act of public disgrace and Esther's bravery, led to transforming a hopeless, situation into a miraculous victory for the Jewish people.     ...

Working His Purpose Out

Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 8:26-31 Worship Song: God Will Work It Out   Meditation:      It is a misconception that accepting Jesus removes all life's problems; the reality is that faith brings inner peace and spiritual growth, not an easy, trouble-free life. In this world, we will be tested by the enemy, and we will have tribulation, but we must remain courageous and be of good cheer for he who dwells within us has overcome the world. God did not promise we would not encounter hardship. He did not promise we would have a perfect life here on earth. What he promises is his peace and that he will never leave nor forsake us. Consider Job, a man of integrity, seen by God as perfect and upright, a man who eschewed evil, yet faced unimaginable trials as detailed in the book of Job.       Every situation we encounter, whether it is sickness, tribulations, financial struggles, relationship issues, or spiritual battles, will ultimate...
