Rejoice Not Over a Fall

By

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:

    Awesome and majestic God, what a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and grief to bear, and what a privilege we have to carry everything to him in prayer. Sovereign God, we give you thanks for your words, which represent the light that guides our steps and shows the path that we should take. We are thankful for imparting the spirit of discernment, wisdom, and knowledge. We thank you, Father God, for the word of God given for direction, guidance, and spiritual empowerment. We are grateful for Your word, O God, an essential source that helps train us to live righteously, equipping and empowering us to carry out Your work. We appreciate the doctrine that reprimands, corrects, and edifies. The more we delve into your word, Lord God, the more we anticipate fulfilling your expectations. Lord, grant us wisdom to understand your will and desired purpose for us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our King.

Have a wonderful day. 🙏💕👏

    Of all the things to rejoice over, the heart that does not fully know God will delight in the error and downfall of others but the scripture stand ready to pull us back in line. Let us continue to read it because it is only then we know what is written. Blessed be the name of the Lord. 🙏💪💪

Be Not Afraid

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 2 Worship song: Not Afraid   Meditation:      The Lord God commissioned Prophet Ezekiel to deliver a stern and unwavering message to the children of Israel, regardless of whether they chose to listen or rebel. God empowered, equipped, and strengthened him for the assigned task, instructing him not to be intimidated by the harshness or hostility of the rebellious, stiff-necked Israelites. This highlights God's divine mercy, relentless grace, unconditional love, and persistence in reaching out to humanity despite their unfaithfulness and rebellious attitude. God always sent his servants to forewarn before destruction, desiring that everyone repent and avoid eternal judgment.       There is no servant commissioned by God that is not fully prepared for the assigned task. He empowers the willing and obedient hearts. When God mandates you for an assignment, he provides the necessary grace, wisdom, and st...

He Bears Our Iniquities

Good morning   Scripture reading: Isaiah 53 Praise song: Nailed To The Cross   Meditation:      Isaiah's prophetic declarations about Jesus Christ in Isaiah 50:6 and Isaiah 53, written centuries before the Messiah's birth, were fulfilled in the life and death of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Out of immense love, Jesus, though perfect and without sin, laid down his life and took upon Himself the burden of our transgressions so we could be set free. The magnitude of his penalty revealed his willingness to sacrifice himself, as He endured the extreme pain of physical suffering.       Through the use of graphic and detailed imagery, the movie 'The Passion of the Christ' portrays the immense suffering and agony Jesus endured as the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. He was rejected and abandoned, mocked, laughed to scorn, spit upon, pierced for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. He voluntarily gave his back to the s...

Age Is Not A Limitation

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 24 & 34 Worship song: Reign Jesus Reign   Meditation:      Both Joash (7) and Josiah (8) were crowned king of Judah respectively making them the youngest reigning kings. Crowned at age 7, Joash ruled for 40 years, under the guidance of the High Priest Jehoiada. He repaired the Temple of the LORD and restored proper worship. Josiah was crowned at the age of 8 and did what was right in the sight of God. He began seeking the God of his ancestor David at the age of 16 and began purging Judah of idolatry at the age of 20, proving that it is never too early to follow God.       Josiah’s ascension to the throne at just eight years old and Joash's at age seven prove that God can use anyone, regardless of age, to fulfill His purpose. We sometimes hinder our children from serving because we are fearful they might fail. We must overcome our fear of their failure and support their desire to serve by enc...

Call Upon The Lord

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 20:29-34 Worship song: He's Only A Prayer Away   Meditation:      The blind men sitting by the wayside likely spent many years enduring their affliction, waiting to be delivered, waiting for the opportunity to be made whole. They must have grown weary and tired of being in the same place and in the same situation. Nonetheless, they waited patiently, anticipating a breakthrough, believing that their change would come. When they heard Jesus passing by, they knew this was their moment of deliverance, and so they shouted with a loud voice, asking Jesus to have mercy on them. The crowd told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, showing that faith persists through opposition.       Continue to praise God loudly, for your victory is secured by Jesus. No one has the power to keep you in bondage unless you give them authority. Praise is your most powerful weapon when you are low in the spirit, ...
