The Water That Purifies

By

Good morning

Scripture reading:  St. John 4:13-14

Worship song: Let Your Living Water

 


Meditation:

    Jesus Christ reveals himself as the fountain of living water. He is also the source of everlasting life. Christ is an ever-flowing fountain; he is continually supplying his people, and the fountain is not spent. Because of His great love and mercy, God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our fountain of the water of life and supplier of eternal life. Jesus promised to give everyone who is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely, and out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. The rivers of living water symbolize the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ promised those who believe in him will receive. The faithful who adhered to his commandments are eternally nourished by the pure water from the fountainhead. Those who forsake Him have hewn them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 

    The broken cisterns are the idols we turn to, the things we rely on to satisfy our fleshly desires instead of turning to Jesus, who can supply all our needs.  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. We have a choice to make; we can either reject Jesus Christ, the fountain of life, or choose the broken cistern. The Spirit and the Bride extend a free invitation to all: if you hear and you're thirsty, come and receive the life-giving water. (Revelation 22:17)

Let us pray:

   Dear Heavenly Father, my soul thirsts for you in this dry and thirsty land. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me this morning; fill me with fresh grace; sustain me, O God, from the fountain that never runs dry. Almighty God, remove from me this cistern that is broken, empty, and void. Allow, O God, your living water to flow within me like a spring that never shall run dry. Almighty God, as I seek to understand and follow your precepts, guide my path according to your word. Lord, direct my actions and allow the Holy Spirit to lead me in a life of holiness and righteousness. Thank you, Lord God, for wisdom and understanding to interpret Your word and for giving us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who abides with us forever. Empower us through the Holy Spirit, O God, that we may do that which you require of us in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. 💕🙏

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...

Knit Together in Love

Good morning Scripture reading: Colossians 2:1-8 Worship song: Lead Me O Lead Me   Meditation:      Apostle Paul was deeply concerned about the spiritual well-being of all believers. He was aware that traditional human practices and rituals seemed spiritual but were not rooted in Christ's teachings. Paul's concern extended specifically to the believers in the Colossian church and Laodicea, as well as others he had never personally encountered, who were being influenced and misled by false teachers.       As a teacher of the gospel of Christ, Paul's relentless efforts were dedicated to guiding believers, and helping them understand God's truth, urging them to build their faith in Christ so they would not be misled by human rules, experiences, or false teachings. Paul's protection of believers is a demonstration that true spiritual stewardship requires leaders to extend the same genuine care to others' souls as they do their own, especiall...

At The Checkpoint

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 ...

Nothing Can Separate Us

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-8 Worship song: Nothing Can Separate   Meditation:      The love of Christ is limitless; it does not come with any condition; therefore, it does not depend on our actions or character. There is nothing we can do to diminish or destroy his love for us, and nothing can separate us from his love. Apostle Paul in Romans 8 proclaims that no one can separate us from the love of Christ, not even tribulation, persecution, famine, death, or angels. Though it is not possible to change how much God loves us, we can cause God to turn his face away from us. God turned his face away, not because he no longer loves us, but because our hearts are corrupt and filled with evil deeds.        Our sins and iniquities separate us from the Holy God because he does not tolerate sin. We become separated from God when our hands are defiled with the blood of the innocent, when our lips speak lies, when we meddle in misch...
