God Still Provides

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 Kings 17:1-16

Worship Song: Make a way

 


Meditation:

    Today, we reflect on the powerful story of Elijah the Tishbite, who boldly declared the prophecy that there would be no rain or dew upon the land for three and a half years. Following that proclamation, the Lord told him to depart eastward and hide himself by the brook Cherith, and he would sustain him. Elijah obeyed the Lord's command, and God honoured his promise. Elijah found himself in a situation where he had no choice but to depend on God. 

    We further learned that after the brook dried due to the famine, God instructed Elijah to proceed to Zarephath, where a widow had been commanded to sustain him with food. From this scripture, we learned the significance of obedience and complete dependence on the Lord. Elijah's compliance with God's directives resulted in the fulfillment of his promise made to Elijah. Through Elijah's obedience and unwavering trust, he remained untouched by the surrounding hardships. 

    If we are willing to obey the Lord, follow His guidance, and trust Him for daily provision, while patiently awaiting His promises, we will experience a transformative, life-changing experience. God can do what none other can do.

Let us pray:

    Jehovah God, I exalt You, O Lord, for you are worthy to be praised. Almighty God, our provider, we depend solely on you, to meet our needs according to your riches in glory. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I beseech you, O God, to assist us in the areas where our reservoirs have become dry. Lord, I lift these dry brooks of financial debt, physical, emotional, and spiritual drought, trusting you to turn these barren areas into places of divine manifestation and overflow. Father, your word affirms that whatever is bound on earth shall be bound in heaven, so according to your word, we declare the spirit of disobedience bound in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We ask you, Father, to crush every rebellious spirit and instill within us a sincere desire to obey your commands and align our ways with your will. We declare this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our provider. Amen.

Have a blessed and peaceful day. ✌💞🙏

How Genuine Is Your Love?

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 21:15-22 Worship song: Lovest Thou Me   Meditation:      Jesus posed a profound question to Peter not once but three times. This interaction was pivotal, as it allowed Jesus to reaffirm Peter's love and reestablish his ministerial role as a shepherd to his people. Jesus was impressing upon Peter the significance of his new role, emphasizing the vital importance of caring for the flock of Christ. Even though Peter denied Jesus three times, that did not alter the love of Jesus Christ for Peter, nor did Jesus love him any less.       To truly serve in ministry any person to serve effectively in ministry, needs to possess genuine love, compassion, mercy, and a caring heart for others, fueled by a deep love for Jesus Christ. Only with this love can we effectively administer care to those we are called to serve. This emotional and heartfelt interaction Jesus had with Peter serves as a reminder of t...

Bless And Curse Not

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 6:27-28 Worship song: The Jesus Way   Meditation:      Jesus highlights four essential principles in His teachings: love, prayer, blessing others, and doing good. Among His most profound teachings is the call to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who spitefully use us. It is vital that, as children of God, we adhere to Jesus' teachings. His instructions are designed to edify us and help us establish a relationship with him that manifests love for one another. Jesus reminds us that not everyone will love us, bless us, and do good unto us.       Nevertheless, we are called to demonstrate love, bless, pray, and do good unto them. Instead of retaliating against those who harm us, we are encouraged to show love, compassion, and kindness to them. We must relinquish any grudges or resentment against those who wronged us. Loving and forgiving our e...

The trial

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matt 26 & 27 Worship song: Mercy walked in   Meditation:      Miscarriages of justice and errors of impunity can erode public trust in the criminal justice system and have devastating consequences for individuals, families, and society. There are persons imprisoned, who are wrongfully convicted because of a miscarriage of justice, and there are criminals who are freed because of errors of impunity.       Over 2000 years ago, a false accusation led to the arrest, trial, conviction, and ultimately crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Although he was blameless, full of kindness, compassion, and love, and had no criminal record, he was unjustly condemned to die. Evil intentions were ultimately overruled by divine providence, transforming his death into a means of universal salvation. This was the appointed moment for God to fulfill His pledge, providing a way of salvation for all mankind.     ...

Resolve Issues among Brethren

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 6:1-7 Worship song: Judge of the Secrets   Meditation:      The Apostle Paul addresses the issue of dispute among Christians, instructing believers to resolve internal disagreements within the church community rather than before unrighteous judges. Paul underscores that even the least esteemed member of the church should possess sufficient wisdom to manage disputes, instead of resorting to secular courts before non-believers.  Paul urges Christians to judge minor cases among themselves, emphasizing that believers, who are destined to share in Christ's future role if judging angels and the world, possess the wisdom necessary to handle minor disputes internally. He argues that rather than seeking reconciliation in a secular court before unbelievers, Christians should accept losses or endure wrong to preserve peace and uphold the reputation of the church, thereby demonstrating spiritual maturity and sacri...
