But God

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Titus 3:1-7

Worship song: Try A Little Kindness

 


Meditation:

    We were once deeply immersed in evil and enslaved by our flesh, rejecting God's ways, but God, in His great love, intervened. Our salvation, sanctification, and redemption are entirely the result of His grace and mercy, not our own righteousness. This realization should dictate how we treat everyone still struggling in the world. We were once debased and deprived by sin but are now saved, redeemed, and sanctified by His grace. 

    If we profess to be holy and righteous without sin, the word reminds us that there is none righteous, no, not one, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but those who received him are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. Human goodness is fleeting and dependent; without divine grace, human hearts naturally incline toward sin, regardless of how righteous a person seems. Let us, therefore, speak evil of no man, but pray sincerely that God, through his abundant mercies, will transform their lives through the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray to transition from a life of disobedience to a life transformed by divine grace.

Let us pray:

    Merciful, rescuing Savior, withdraw not from us your indwelling grace, for without you leading and guiding us, we would be lost. Almighty God, thou know our foolishness, and our sins are not hidden from thee. Father, I call upon you to x-ray our hearts and reveal the evil that is embedded within that cannot be detected with the naked eye. Cast out every secret sin and iniquity that sets our teeth on edge, Lord. Abba, Father, let not sin have dominion over us. Deliver us, O God, out of the mire, and let us not sink into the depths of our sins. Almighty God, we are marred by sin, but I pray that our righteousness, which is like filthy rags, will be justified freely by your grace and mercies through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. I pray, O God, for those who are still bound, entangled in the web of sin, that you will meet them at their location, convict their heart and mind, break the enemy's influence over their lives, and set them free by the power of the blood of Jesus. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. 👏💞🙏

Your Prayer Is Heard

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 1:5-16 Worship song: Holy Forever   Meditation:      Elizabeth and Zechariah faced the heavy burden of being childless in a society that regarded barrenness as a curse, despite being righteous in the eyes of the Lord.   Although their petition was not answered at the time they expected, they continued to serve God faithfully. Elizabeth and Zechariah had likely relinquished hope of having a child due to their advanced age and prolonged infertility. However, after years of persistent prayer, Zacharia's request was finally fulfilled when God blessed him with a uniquely anointed son in his old age. Gabriel not only announced to Zacharias that he would have a son, but also provided a prophetic description of the child's specialized character and destiny.       Like Zechariah, you may have prayed persistently until you gave up hope. Be encouraged; prolonged waiting does not imply that God has not h...

Positive Affirmation

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 18:21 Worship song: Guard My Tongue, O Lord   Meditation:      The well-known phrase "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me," is a traditional defense mechanism intended to minimize emotional pain and help individuals disregard malicious words. However, this saying is far from the truth, as harsh words can affect relationships, bring trouble, and inflict emotional pain. Words possess the power to build up or to destroy; they can wound or heal; they can condemn or invoke blessings.       Words can be as destructive as a weapon or as healing as medicine. It is powerful enough to shape one's mindset, influence external conditions, and alter one’s life for better or worse through affirmations and declarations. Words are not merely descriptive but are a creative force that can bring things into existence. They function like seeds; whatever is sown will eventually be harv...

Unwavering Faith

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 7:1-10 Worship song: Stand In Faith   Meditation:      The account of the centurion serves as a testament to the fact that faith is not merely following a religious ritual or social status but recognizing and trusting that Jesus is the ultimate answer to any problem. Unwavering faith involves persistently believing in a positive outcome and in God's goodness, even when prayers are not immediately answered or when situations appear hopeless.       The centurion's unwavering faith in Jesus demonstrated his confidence in His divine power. He believed that his servant would be healed from a distance by a spoken divine command alone. Nothing is impossible with God; He specializes in doing what is considered impossible and can accomplish what no other god can Are there obstacles that seem unbeatable or mountains that appear unmovable? Faith in God changes how you see your situation, which ultimately cha...

Overcome Temptation

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 4: 1-13 Worship song: God Of All My Days   Meditation:      Satan and his demonic forces were actively monitoring Jesus, gathering information to use as a weapon against Him. Recognizing the exhaustion of His flesh after forty days of fasting, and knowing that Jesus was at his weakest point, the enemy seized the opportunity to initiate intense temptation. Realizing his planned mission failed, Satan retreated temporarily to wait for a more favorable moment. The enemy plans to attack believers and try to interrupt God's plan for us. No child of God is exempt from temptation; and no temptation will overtake you except what is common to humans, however, God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.       Whenever you are tempted, God will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. Be vigilant against the enemy's strategies: demonic forces are deployed to monitor o...
