Connected through Christ

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. John 1:1-13

Worship song: I Am A Child of God

 


Meditation:

    A believer's primary identity is not based on their achievements or social standing, but in being a child of God. Romans 8:16-17 confirms that believers are God’s adopted children and heirs to His kingdom, alongside Jesus Christ. This inheritance includes sharing in Christ’s suffering, enduring trials, persecution, or sacrifice for the Gospel which are considered temporary compared to the future glory. 

    True members of Jesus' family are those who conform their lives to the desires of the Heavenly Father. Adoption into God's household makes us brothers and sisters, firmly rooted in our connection to Christ. Jesus described the personal relationship with him and believers as a vine and its branches, emphasizing that the branch cannot bear fruit unless it is connected to the vine. Remaining in the vine requires a consistent, obedient, and abiding relationship with Christ, allowing His love to shape every part of your life. When we abide in Christ, we are no more strangers, but are fellowcitizens with the saints, and members of the household of God. This identity is sealed and permanent, regardless of changes and life's circumstances.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, with a grateful heart, I give thanks to You, O God, for adopting us into Your family and making us joint-heirs with Jesus. We are thankful that we are no longer strangers tossed to and fro, but are fellowcitizens with the saints and members of your royal family. We are extremely thankful, Lord God, that you have redeemed us by your grace and cleansed us by your efficacious blood. Father, we thank You that because You are our strength and shield, we can remain unshakeable and fully committed to doing Your will. We thank you, Lord, for the assurance that we are secure in your care, now and forever through Jesus Christ. Amen. (Child of the King).

Wishing you a wonderful day. 👏💖🙏

We Need The Savior

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 2:1-5 Worship song: I'll Say of The Lord.....   Meditation:      Without the Savior, humans operate like a ticking time bomb ready to self-destruct. Blinded by sin and living in our sinful state gives rise to desires that appeal to fleshly lust that has led us down the path of unholiness and ungodliness separating us from God. We all need a Savior, Jesus Christ the one who died to rescue us. He is our refuge from the dangerous deluge of our selfish desires and destructive self-will. Jesus Christ has availed himself to be our shield, our high tower, and our Savior to shelter us in the time of storm.       We all need a Savior to protect us and shelter us from the rebellion and unfaithfulness of our hearts. We all need a Savior to deliver and purge away our sins. The God of my rock, in whom I trust, the horn of my salvation is the only savior for mankind. I was once alienated living disconnected fr...

The Man On The Middle Cross

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 23:39-43 Worship song: Jesus In The Middle Save Me   Meditation:      Obedient to his Father's will, He left the splendor of Heaven to bear the collective sins of our transgressions. He endured chastisement, oppression, and affliction and opened not His mouth to rebel. He bore our griefs and sorrow, yet He was rejected and despised. They gave Him a procession bearing his heavy wooden cross while they chanted, mocked, and cheered. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, whipped with many lashes and every stripe he bore represents our healing. His atoning blood was shed for the debt of our sin and he faced the wrath of God's justice poured out against our sin in our place so we could be saved.       Though he was found not guilty, he was judged and condemned as a convict, taken to the gallows, and hanged on a wooden cross between two thieves. His sacrificial death was significant for the propitiation...

Salvation, Healing, and Deliverance

Good morning - Day of prayer   Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Jeremiah 17:14 Worship song: Healing and Deliverance Prayer: Salvation, Healing, and Deliverance Let us pray: Heavenly Father, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, acknowledging You as our Sovereign Lord and King. I repent of the sins that easily beset me, surrendering them all to you, Lord God.       Into your hands, O God, I commit my loved ones who have not yet received you as Lord. I pray, O God, that Your Spirit will take captive their thoughts and hearts, revealing Your truth and guiding them toward Your perfect will. I pray, Almighty God, that they will confess that you are Lord, turn from a life of earthly pleasure, and accept your gift of salvation and redemption. May they recognize that there is no other name under Heaven given among men than that of Jesus Christ, through whom they can be saved.  ...

Bloodline Repentance

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 1:1-16 Worship song: There Is Power in The Blood   Meditation:      The genealogy of Jesus Christ's human ancestry recorded in Matthew includes those whose lifestyle was characterized by acts of immorality, unholy living, and dishonorable conduct. Jesus did not descend from a perfect, holy human race, he entered a race that was broken, defiled by sin, and in need of a redeemer. His ancestors were not solely righteous, but defined by imperfections. The family tree features stories highlighting a lineage of sinners rather than purely righteous prominent figures.       Based on the Biblical accounts in the books of the Kings and Chronicles many of Jesus ancestors in the royal bloodline of Judah were worshipping pagan gods, engaged in witchcraft, blood sacrifice, divination, enchantments, and trusting unfamiliar spirits. These acts are an abomination unto the Lord and must be broken. Today, our generat...
