Day of Testimony - Something to Appreciate

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Worship song: Gratitude

 


Personal Testimony:

    Maintaining a grateful heart through all life's challenges alters our perspective and deepens our appreciation. I cannot fully comprehend the move of God, but I know He is working things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. I looked back with great appreciation on a situation that transpired during the 3rd week of January. Though what happened might seem insignificant, I find immense reason to give God glory, honor, and praise. The AC unit broke two days before the cold front, trapping heat inside our home. Fortunately, the incoming cold weather was exactly what was needed, making air conditioning and fans unnecessary during that period. Just as the cold front breaks, the HVAC Technicians fix the unit, saving us from the miserable experience of overheating. While some were complaining about the cold, in my household, we were joyfully praising God for His awesome power, embracing the cold, and grateful that it was more tolerable than the heat. Let gratitude replace your anxiety, resting in the truth that God's purpose is greater than your fears.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, I acknowledge your power and authority over the universe. By your word the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of your mouth. You spoke, Almighty God, and it was done; You commanded, and even the deepest darkness bowed to Your command. My heart rejoices, and my soul magnifies your matchless work. You, alone, O God, tell the sun when to shine in the morning and set the boundaries of the ocean. I am grateful to you, O God, for you alone have the authority to guide the turning of the day and the movement of the tides. With my whole heart, I express sincere gratitude for your goodness, faithfulness, grace, and mercy. Into your hands, O God, I commit all that I am. I am surrendering all to you, Lord God, concealing nothing. I relinquish control over everything, asking for Your divine guidance to reign and Your grace to align my choices with Your perfect plan. Order my steps, O God, lead and guide as I submit to your will and ways in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a wonderful day. 👏💞🙏

    Let us be fair, we owe God. For the many things He has done, some haven't acknowledged because they are so small. As a result the little things form a big pile to be thankful for. Forgive us Lord for neglecting the many blessings you have given us in small portion and help us to pay attention to them going forward. 🙏🙏

A Jealous Eye

By

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.     ...

Deep Sorrow

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,...

Covered With A Mask

Good morning Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:30-32  Worship Song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      A minister once said we mask bitterness as memory, defend it as justice, and store it as debt owed. Bitterness is like residue that builds up over time from accumulated anger, resentment, pain, or perceived unfairness, ultimately leading to unforgiveness. Consider bitterness as a plant with its leaves looking green but its root is rotting from fungal infection. Eventually, the entire plant will collapse. You can be called, gifted, and anointed, ministering and winning souls for the Kingdom of God, but still foster a heart of bitterness.       The Apostle Paul boldly urges us in Ephesians 4:31 to put away all bitterness and wrath. He further advises us to reject and renounce our former ways, which are tainted by sinful habits. The Holy Spirit cannot freely work in a life that is holding onto malice, anger, and unforgiveness. Neither wi...
