When God Acts

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Numbers 12

Worship song: I'll Walk in Faith

 



Meditation:

    Driven by jealousy, Miriam and Aaron sinned by challenging the authority of Moses, whom God had specifically chosen. By attacking his leadership and marriage, they challenged God's direct appointment. God responded with fury, forcing them to acknowledge the deep and personal relationship he had with Moses. 

    God is warning against hindering or oppressing those He has designated for a special purpose, asserting that attacking them is attacking Him. We are warned in 1 Chronicles 16 and Psalm 105 not to lay a hand on those whom the Lord has set apart for himself. Despite Miriam's act of rebellion, Moses's compassionate intercession secured her healing and restoration, but not before she endured a week of divine punishment outside the camp. Miriam challenged the divine authority placed upon Moses, but God intervened to maintain order, showing that a protective covering rests over his chosen servants. 

    No weapon formed against God's chosen people will prosper and every accusing tongue will be condemned in judgment. Guard your tongue against speaking evil of the Lord's anointed and avoid hasty judgment.

Let us pray:

    Father, we bow before you in humble submission, recognizing your supreme authority, your omnipresent and omniscient power. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to you, Almighty God for the dedicated servants you have placed in our lives, who diligently teach us and guide us on the righteous path. We sincerely thank you Lord for the faithful spiritual leaders you have ordained to shepherd us. Father, help us to respect those whom you have chosen to guide us. Help us, O God, to apply the lessons from Miriam and Moses by exercising wisdom over our words, resisting the urge to wander into temptation, and avoiding even the appearance of wrongdoing. Father, may we leave all judgment in your hands, and trust You to handle everything, O God, lest your wrath be kindled against us for rebelling against and envying those You have appointed. Father, teach us to govern our lips in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you a joyful day. 👏💕🙏

Regardless of Your Enemies

Good morning Scripture reading: Esther 6 -7 Worship song: God Favors Me   Meditation:      When God is for you, who can stand against you? Trusting in God's sovereignty, Mordecai prayed and fasted, allowing the Lord to deliver justice and repay Haman for his wicked plots. In a stunning twist of fate, Haman was summoned by King Ahasuerus to personally lead a parade for Mordecai, shouting out the very praises he had planned for himself. Haman's evil plot to destroy Mordecai was reversed. His plan backfired and he became the victim of his own conspiracy.       When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Do not be afraid of your enemies; fear not the plans of men, remain calm, and rely not on your own strength, but God's sovereign power. Surrender your battles to the Lord and let him fight for you. The God who delivered Mordecai from the gallows is the same God who will rescue you, turni...

The Eviction Notice

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 6:16-19 Worship song: Break Every Chain   Meditation:      As we know, a tenant who violates a lease agreement or is delinquent with payment faces consequences that range from warnings to eviction. While eviction can have both positive and negative implications depending on one's perspective, it is important to take every precautionary measure necessary to adhere to the agreement. When it comes to our spiritual well-being, we must recognize the similar principles that apply to the unauthorized residents we allow in our hearts.       For too long, our hearts have been held hostage by unholy guests, residing where only the Holy Spirit should abide. We must stand firm on God's principles and take immediate action to evict from our lives the works of the flesh. We must execute the judgment of peace and truth in our gates and purge our hearts of all forms of bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, jealousy, a...

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...
