An Influenced Mind

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2

Worship song: Change My Heart O God

 


Meditation:

    It is essential to recognize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the moral standards and behaviors of others, which can have a positive or negative impact on us. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences. 

    When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If we walk with the wise, we will increase in knowledge and wisdom, but if we allow our minds to be influenced by the unwise, we will be destroyed. Whatever we allow to influence our minds and motivate us can have a detrimental or beneficial effect on our well-being. We are inevitable influencers; therefore, let us intentionally turn our focus toward steering people toward Christ and His church.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign Lord, we bring our worship to You, acknowledging that all honor belongs to You. You, O God, have no equal and no counterpart, none can compare to your matchless worth. Father, at this moment of divine revelation, I ask you to surround us with influential people who will teach, lead, and guide us spiritually. Father, bring into our lives, O God, ordained destiny helpers who fear you to guide us to fulfilling our divine assignments. Almighty God, we call upon you to remove from our lives those whose intention is to lead us down a destructive path. Guard our hearts and minds, O God, and keep us sober and vigilant. Almighty God, we understand our thoughts directly influence our actions. Therefore, we ask you, Lord, to take captive every destructive thought and renew our minds, instilling a righteous spirit within us in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

Wishing you a wonderful 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...
