Nurturing Spiritual Growth

By

 
Scripture reading: Ephesians 4

Worship song: Rooted in His Word





Meditation

Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Jesus by internalizing Scripture and allowing the Holy Spirit to change our hearts, minds, and actions, moving from knowledge to experience. The journey toward spiritual development is often marked by an internal battle between an attachment to the material world and the call of higher spiritual development. Nevertheless, we can strengthen our spiritual life and our relationship with the divine through sincere worship, praises, fostering inner peace, praying without ceasing, meditating on the word of God day and night, and connecting with other believers. Spiritual growth can happen when we surrender our hearts to God and allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct us. As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk with him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Jesus Christ is the sole unshakeable basis for Christian faith and life, the only firm ground upon which all spiritual teachings, ministries, and personal lives must rest, for no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to Him be glory both now and forever.


Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we desire to deepen our faith and strengthen our walk with you. We pray that you strengthen our inner man, and dwell in our hearts richly that we may be rooted and grounded in your perfect love. Help us, O God, to cultivate the fruit of Your Spirit in our lives helping us fully surrender to You and to know You better. We pray for the strength to face trials and grow through them. Lord, prune away anything that keeps us from bearing fruit for Your kingdom. Guide our ministers, leaders, and the body of Christ to grow numerically and spiritually by focusing on Christ, equipping members, pursuing unity, and actively spreading the Gospel. We pray for your divine intervention and the guidance of your Holy Spirit to produce spiritual fruitfulness, empowering others to surrender to your divine purpose in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. (Child of the King).

Wishing you a blessed and 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...

 Scripture reading: Psalms 103:1-5 Worship song:God of My Restoration   Meditation: We all face moments of profound grief, setbacks, brokenness, despair, and most times unforeseen challenges. Today, we find encouragement in the divine assurance that the future holds not merely a mending of what is broken, but a profound and overflowing promise of restoration. God promises to compensate us for past losses and hardships caused by destruction, such as that brought by the adversary. This renewal promises an outpouring of supernatural abundance, joy, and amazing fruitfulness. God faithfully promises to send his word to heal the broken in heart, bind up our wounds, and deliver us from destruction. The faithful can rely on the promise that when you sincerely call upon God, He will answer and be with you in times of trouble. For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal your wounds, saith the Lord. With long life, God will satisfy you, and show you His salvation. Through the Son...

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 ...

Warning Before Punishment

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Timothy 3:1-13, 1 Samuel 2 Worship song: Search My Heart   Meditation:      Eli was ordained as the priest to handle the affairs of the church and matters concerning God. However, he had some weaknesses, for he was unable to reprimand his sons; he failed to govern his household and bring them up to fear the Lord. We are reminded in 1 Timothy 3:4-5 that those chosen to lead God’s people should be persons who rule well over their own households, having their children in subjection with all gravity.       If he fails to rule his own house, he won't be able to monitor the church of God. Leaders are responsible for the spiritual well-being of those under their care and must give an account to God. Leaders and ministers are called to guide others in wisdom and lead them on the right path. They must be blameless, live with integrity, speak truth, and be examples in conduct, faith, and purity. This calls for an ...
