Using Love and Wisdom

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:1-9

Worship song: Good Good Father

 


Meditation:

    The Apostle Paul, in his sixth epistle to the Ephesians, addresses the household and how believers should live their lives in light of salvation. His message specifically addresses the responsibility within the family structure, urging respect, obedience, and adherence to instructions. In Psalms 127, King Solomon emphasizes that children are a divine heritage and a reward from the Lord, bringing divine blessings and honor, not shame, to the man who has them. Paul highlights the essential role of instilling biblical principles, particularly encouraging fathers to guide their children with love and wisdom.   

    Children are encouraged to honor and respect their parents, aligning their behavior with godly authority. Children's obedience to parents and servants to their masters should be motivated by the desire to honor God and live by his precepts. Likewise, the master should treat their servant with respect, justice, fairness, and kindness, knowing they have to answer to their heavenly Master. Let your conduct be honorable to God, pleasing him with goodwill, doing the will of God from the heart. Every person will be judged by God according to their actions regardless of whether they are bound or free.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, clothed in splendor and majesty, we exalt your name above all. Lord, we thank you for your word of wisdom and for inspiring holy men to write what you want to reveal to us. Empower us, Lord, to love others as you have loved us. May we, O God, fully commit to your teachings and incorporate Christian principles into our lives daily. Father, may our actions be a desire to please you in all things. May we treat others with the utmost respect, kindness, and justice, knowing we have a master who will judge us according to our actions. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, may we faithfully adhere to your commands and extend compassion, mercy, and kindness to all, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you a blessed day. 👏💕🙏

    God knows how to equip us for life, this is why we must have a relationship with Him so we as his children will possess His character. Unless we are connected to Him we cannot be nor do the things He wants us to do. May we this day be obedient to His words. Shalom. 🙏🤝💪🙏🙏

Self-Examination and Reflections

By

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...

Known by Your Fruit

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 5: 22-26 Worship song: Bear Fruit   Meditation:      Over 2,000 different kinds of fruit exist globally, yet the average Western diet uses only about 10% of them. In a spiritual context, human nature is viewed as capable of producing two distinct sets of outcomes: one often referred to as the fruit of the flesh, representing worldly desires and actions, and the other known as the fruit of the Spirit, representing virtues and spiritual growth The nine fruits of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in Galatians 5, represent the essential character traits that should guide a believer. The qualities one displays serve as a reflection of their genuine faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.       As noted in Matthew 7, a tree produces fruit according to its nature; it is an example of how a person's actions reflect their fundamental character. What kind of fruit are you producing? How can we cultivate the fruit ...

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 ...

Healing is Our Daily Bread

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 53: 3-8 Worship song: Oh How He Loves    Meditation:      God's compassionate love is the source from which healing flows. His divine love brings spiritual, emotional, and physical healing for our body, mind, soul, and spirit, providing hope, restoration, and newness. His act of mercy surpasses human capability as demonstrated through the sacrificial offering of Jesus Christ. Jesus' suffering was a demonstration of selfless, divine love, in which He willingly endured humanity's punishment for our redemption, forgiveness, and healing. God's love draws Him to our deepest hurts, offering hope of complete healing of all our diseases, mending of wounds, and restoration of brokenness.       Our burdens are many, yet God assures complete deliverance from every one of them. He loves us and knows what it takes to help us draw closer to Him. As believers, we are empowered with agape love, and we mus...
