Good morning

Scripture reading: Acts 2:1-4

Hymn: The Comforter Has Come

 


Meditation:

    Before ascending, Jesus assured His disciples He would not abandon them, promising to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. He instructed them to remain in Jerusalem until they were equipped with divine power from heaven to fulfill their mission to preach the gospel. This instruction and their obedience led to the events of Pentecost in Acts 2, where they were filled with the Holy Spirit while they were in the temple, praising and worshipping God. Jesus promised that for those who love and obey Him, the Father would send the Holy Spirit to dwell within them forever, acting as a counselor who teaches truth and brings Christ's words to remembrance. 

    The Holy Spirit, referred to as the Spirit of truth, abides within believers as a counselor, teacher, and helper, providing wisdom and guidance in all truth, distinguishing between truth and falsehood. He functions as our divine guide, ensuring our ways are always aligned with the will of God. Being led by the Spirit is the identifying mark of a true believer, indicating a changed life, moving from subjection to the powers of sin and death into the liberty of grace.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, the Alpha and Omega, with a grateful heart I give you thanks for gracing us with the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. I give you thanks, Almighty God, for being our covenant-keeping God and for the Holy Spirit whom you have sent to dwell within our hearts to empower us. I am deeply grateful for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who gently reminds our frail, forgetful minds of Christ's teaching and for providing wisdom and guidance in all truth, to distinguish between truth and falsehood. I give thanks to you, Lord, for providing direction and strength in our daily lives and prompting us to abide by your commands. Almighty God, I surrender my desire, plans, and ways to you and the Holy Spirit, eager to walk in obedience to your divine guidance and live by your commands in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. 🙏💪👏

    What would we do or become without the Holy Spirit. Thank God He lives within us. We must rejoice and be glad for all the works He has wrought in us

Be Not Afraid

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 2 Worship song: Not Afraid   Meditation:      The Lord God commissioned Prophet Ezekiel to deliver a stern and unwavering message to the children of Israel, regardless of whether they chose to listen or rebel. God empowered, equipped, and strengthened him for the assigned task, instructing him not to be intimidated by the harshness or hostility of the rebellious, stiff-necked Israelites. This highlights God's divine mercy, relentless grace, unconditional love, and persistence in reaching out to humanity despite their unfaithfulness and rebellious attitude. God always sent his servants to forewarn before destruction, desiring that everyone repent and avoid eternal judgment.       There is no servant commissioned by God that is not fully prepared for the assigned task. He empowers the willing and obedient hearts. When God mandates you for an assignment, he provides the necessary grace, wisdom, and st...

Call Upon The Lord

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 20:29-34 Worship song: He's Only A Prayer Away   Meditation:      The blind men sitting by the wayside likely spent many years enduring their affliction, waiting to be delivered, waiting for the opportunity to be made whole. They must have grown weary and tired of being in the same place and in the same situation. Nonetheless, they waited patiently, anticipating a breakthrough, believing that their change would come. When they heard Jesus passing by, they knew this was their moment of deliverance, and so they shouted with a loud voice, asking Jesus to have mercy on them. The crowd told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, showing that faith persists through opposition.       Continue to praise God loudly, for your victory is secured by Jesus. No one has the power to keep you in bondage unless you give them authority. Praise is your most powerful weapon when you are low in the spirit, ...

Age Is Not A Limitation

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 24 & 34 Worship song: Reign Jesus Reign   Meditation:      Both Joash (7) and Josiah (8) were crowned king of Judah respectively making them the youngest reigning kings. Crowned at age 7, Joash ruled for 40 years, under the guidance of the High Priest Jehoiada. He repaired the Temple of the LORD and restored proper worship. Josiah was crowned at the age of 8 and did what was right in the sight of God. He began seeking the God of his ancestor David at the age of 16 and began purging Judah of idolatry at the age of 20, proving that it is never too early to follow God.       Josiah’s ascension to the throne at just eight years old and Joash's at age seven prove that God can use anyone, regardless of age, to fulfill His purpose. We sometimes hinder our children from serving because we are fearful they might fail. We must overcome our fear of their failure and support their desire to serve by enc...

He Bears Our Iniquities

Good morning   Scripture reading: Isaiah 53 Praise song: Nailed To The Cross   Meditation:      Isaiah's prophetic declarations about Jesus Christ in Isaiah 50:6 and Isaiah 53, written centuries before the Messiah's birth, were fulfilled in the life and death of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Out of immense love, Jesus, though perfect and without sin, laid down his life and took upon Himself the burden of our transgressions so we could be set free. The magnitude of his penalty revealed his willingness to sacrifice himself, as He endured the extreme pain of physical suffering.       Through the use of graphic and detailed imagery, the movie 'The Passion of the Christ' portrays the immense suffering and agony Jesus endured as the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. He was rejected and abandoned, mocked, laughed to scorn, spit upon, pierced for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. He voluntarily gave his back to the s...
