What's In Your Treasure Box

Good morning

Scripture reading: Mark 12:41-44

Praise song: Sacrifice of Praise

 


Meditation:

    The account told by Jesus of the poor widow is thought-provoking due to its message about the true value of generous giving. The widow's small offering is highlighted as a model of true generosity because it represented her entire livelihood, in comparison to the large but insignificant donations of the wealthy who gave only from their surplus. Jesus was not fascinated by the amount the rich were offering but by the widow's sacrificial offering of all her livelihood. 

    The message conveyed is that a cheerful and sacrificial spirit is more valuable than a large amount, because God judges the gift based on the giver's willingness and the condition of the heart, not the size of the contribution. Our offerings to God should be given freely and genuinely, as He values the sincerity and condition of our hearts over the size of the gift. As we reflect on the account of the widow, may we take into consideration the presentation of our offering unto the Lord, bearing in mind the principle that the value of a gift is measured not by its monetary amount, but by the sacrifice and intention behind it.

Let us pray:

    Jehovah God, I worship you, O Lord, because you are worthy to be praised. We humbly bow before your throne, O God, with our offering of sacrifice of praises. Father, I pray, O God, that as we offer our sacrifices unto you this morning, it will give off a sweet-smelling aroma that is pleasing to you, Lord. We pray, Father, that our gifts to You will be a true, sacrificial offering, not just a customary one. Almighty God, we acknowledge that regardless of the proportion of our sacrifices, it is an expression that truly reflects the conditions of our hearts. Father, we earnestly commit our entire heart, mind, body, and soul unto you, Lord. We pray that You take charge of our lives and let them be wholly consecrated to You, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. 

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌💕🙏

Divine Favour Like a Shield

Scripture reading: Proverbs 8:32-36 Worship song: Favour Meditation: Divine favour is God's freely given unmerited kindness, grace, and blessing not earned by works but given to those who faithfully walk with Him. Saved by grace through faith, not works, believers receive favour from God. Noah, among many other prominent figures mentioned in biblical teachings, found favour with God. In a generation defined by ungodliness, Noah's upright walk with God set him apart, and he found grace in God's eyes. God promises to bless and protect those who live righteously, surrounding them with His divine favor like a shield (Psalms 5:12). Not every opportunity presented to us aligns with our core principles. Although opportunities present themselves, we must be selective, ensuring that they align with our beliefs. A notable example is found in the biblical account of Joseph, who refused a morally compromising proposition from his master Potiphar's wife. Although his decision led to...

Mutual Submission

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 5:22-33 Worship song: Love Moved First   Meditation:      Marriage is a God-ordained, lifelong union in which a man and a woman become one, forming a new, permanent family unit that should not be broken. It is viewed as a solemn covenant, a sacred agreement with enduring promises that should be honored by all who commit to it. Still, unfortunately, not all marriages withstand the challenges they encounter. Marriage can mean many different things to the world, but holy matrimony is a sacred covenant ordained by God, designed for family and love.       A lasting marriage, as described, is centered on shared spiritual values and a mutual commitment to honoring God, where partners pray together, communicate wisely, and align their union with God's will. Key principles emphasize placing God first, with the husband called to love his wife sacrificially as Christ loved the church. Similarly, wives ...

The Blessings of The Lord

Scripture reading: Malachi 3:6-12 Worship song: Jehovah Jireh My Provider Meditation: Believers are challenged to test God's loyalty by bringing their tithes into the temple storehouse. This act of faith is presented as a way to unlock substantial blessings, which He promises to safeguard from financial ruin or the devourer. God promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory when we seek first the Kingdom of God and all his righteousness, acknowledge him as the ultimate provider, honour him with our substance, and the first fruit of our increase. When we honour God first, our resources will not diminish; they will multiply. The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. In all your pursuits, remember the Lord your God, because He gives you the ability to create wealth. Give not sparingly unto the Lord, and He shall open unto you his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of ...

Self-Examination and Reflections

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139: 23-24 Worship song: Remind Me Dear Lord   Meditation:      In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul commands believers to examine themselves, using Scripture as the standard, to determine if their faith is genuine and Christ-motivated, rather than mere outward religious performances. This is not a call of condemnation but a call to identify if their lifestyle is in alignment with God's will or blocking His presence. The Word of God exposes areas where we fall short, our need for repentance, and where we need to grow.       James urged us to use the Scriptures daily to examine our lifestyle honestly and live in obedience, leading to everlasting freedom from the bondage of sin. Lamentations 3:40 is a call for deep self-examination to identify sinful or misguided behavior, followed by sincere repentance and redirection back to God's will and presence. In moments of quiet reflection, let us assess our ways...
