Evil Presents Itself

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Romans 7:5-25

Worship song: God, You're So Good

 


Meditation:

    Within each of us lies the tendency to do evil and the potential for good. However, the outcome depends on whether we choose to do evil or good. If we shun the appearance of evil, it will not dwell in our presence; however, if we meddle in or allow evil to reside within us, it will control and corrupt us. Evil flourishes when ignored, poisoning the heart and killing the conscience. Apostle Paul testified of his struggles with the desire of the flesh. The flesh is corrupted, leading him to sin against his will. He is enslaved by the sinful nature within him. 

    When he tries to do good, evil presents itself. He emphasizes that there is a struggle between the desire to do good and the pull of sin, a struggle that continues until the believer is fully redeemed. Evil is a tumor, once you ignore it and let it take root, it will destroy your conscience and turn your heart into stone. Paul concluded by expressing gratitude for God's grace and freedom from sin. Let us not conform to the things of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds so we can resist evil and grasp what is good. Keep your heart, hands, and mind clean and pure. Let not evil have dominion over you. Choose good, renounce evil, and let the peace of God dwell in you richly.

Let’s pray.

    Sovereign God, we wholeheartedly express sincere gratitude for sending your son to conquer the dominion of sin and for the gift of salvation and redemption. We seek your divine power to protect our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being from evil influences. Deliver us from any thoughts or desires that seek to conquer our souls, minds, and hearts. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we declare every conspiracy, subversion, evil demonic assignment, foreseen and unseen opposing our spiritual journey powerless. Lord, consume us with holy fire and let your radiant Shekinah glory rest upon us and guide us every moment of our lives through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Have a peaceful day. ✌💕🙏

Good Morning Day of prayer - Deep Sorrow   For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11   Hymn: Lord From Sorrows Deep I Call             Let us pray:      Heavenly Father, we humbly submit ourselves to your sovereignty, seeking your divine intervention, O God, to change our mindset and remove the spiritual blindness hindering us from seeing clearly your plan to prosper us. Almighty God, conquer the spirit of fear for humanity that clouds our judgment, and replace it with reverence for you only. Everlasting Father, we surrender our brokenness, our shattered hearts, our failures, our past, present, and future at your altar of sacrifice. We need your divine help to overcome challenges and obstacles, and the strength to remain fervent and faithful in doing what is righteous, acceptable, and honorable. Help us, O God,...

A Jealous Eye

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 18 Worship song: This Is Amazing Grace   Meditation:      King Saul's expression of love for David turned into a jealous rage, triggered when the people applauded David publicly for his victorious defeat of the Philistines. Driven by an envious and malicious spirit, King Saul turned against David, viewing his servant as a direct threat to his throne. Despite recognizing that God had shifted His favor to David, a fearful and jealous Saul made repeated, failed attempts to murder his successor, fueled by intense rage.       When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. The Lord will preserve the souls of his people and protect us from all evil. No force can overpower those shielded by the Almighty; in times of disaster, the believer rests in divine safety. Do not fear your enemies for if God is on your side, no one can truly stand against you....

Respond With Urgency

Good morning Scripture reading: Esther 4 Worship song: Hear my Cry, O Lord   Meditation:      Deeply disturbed by Mordecai sitting at the King's gate in mourning apparel, Queen Esther immediately sent him new clothes to replace his sackcloth, but he refused the garment. She later discovered his actions were a public display of grief over a written royal decree instigated by Haman to destroy all Jews. Too often, we jump to conclusions and hasten to judge, criticize, or condemn others' actions without awareness of their motives.       After uncovering the truth, Queen Esther initiated a mandatory three-day fast for all the Jews, declaring that she would break the protocol and enter the King's chamber, fully prepared to accept the fatal consequences that might follow.   Mordecai's act of public disgrace and Esther's bravery, led to transforming a hopeless, situation into a miraculous victory for the Jewish people.     ...

Working His Purpose Out

Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 8:26-31 Worship Song: God Will Work It Out   Meditation:      It is a misconception that accepting Jesus removes all life's problems; the reality is that faith brings inner peace and spiritual growth, not an easy, trouble-free life. In this world, we will be tested by the enemy, and we will have tribulation, but we must remain courageous and be of good cheer for he who dwells within us has overcome the world. God did not promise we would not encounter hardship. He did not promise we would have a perfect life here on earth. What he promises is his peace and that he will never leave nor forsake us. Consider Job, a man of integrity, seen by God as perfect and upright, a man who eschewed evil, yet faced unimaginable trials as detailed in the book of Job.       Every situation we encounter, whether it is sickness, tribulations, financial struggles, relationship issues, or spiritual battles, will ultimate...
