The trial

By

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. 

    Jesus paid the ultimate price for the remission of our sins, granting us the opportunity to obtain eternal life. To receive this gift, we must fully surrender our hearts, minds, and souls to Christ without reservation.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, great are you Lord, and greatly to be praised. Your greatness is unsearchable. I will forever exalt you, O God, my King. Almighty God, the God who rescues the perishing and cares for the dying, mighty in battle, only you, O God, know why the innocent pay the penalty for a crime they didn't commit. Mighty God, I honor You, for You were once crucified and died a cruel death to pay the price for our sins. Awesome God, have mercy upon those who have been incarcerated wrongfully. Comfort the broken and weary-hearted, Lord, and give them the strength to cope in the midst of adversity. Please sustain them during these challenges, allowing them to experience Your comfort and find hope in You, the God who walks with us through all trials. Almighty God, may they experience true freedom in You and commit their lives entirely to Your will. Please touch them in a personal way, guide their steps, and surround them with Your divine protection, through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen. 

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌💪🙏

Good morning Day of Testimony- The Good Old Days But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19   Worship song: Make A Way   Meditation:      Reflecting on my childhood, I   realize that the ability to make the best of a situation constitutes true happiness, rather than merely possessing the best of everything. We did not have much, but we were satisfied and sincerely grateful. On some nights, we had no dinner, and sometimes breakfast was merely dumplings roasted over coal, served with lime leaf tea. To us, lotion was coconut oil, and charcoal was toothpaste. Despite being stuffed with grass and dried banana leaves in flour sacks, our bed was surprisingly comfortable. We spent our evenings playing outdoors until dusk, after which we would gather on the floor, sharing stories by the flickering light of a makeshift kerosene bottle torch. That was a period when families genuinely connected...

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...

My Rock and My Fortress

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 22:1-22 Worship song: Build My Life   Meditation:      King David offered a powerful testimony reflecting on God's unwavering faithfulness in responding to his calls during a distressful period. To highlight his gratitude for God's divine protection, King David recited a victorious psalm of celebration, praising God for delivering him from all his adversaries and dispersing those too mighty for him, including Saul. David glorified God recognizing Him as his fortress, rock, deliverer, shield, refuge, Savior, high tower, and the horn of his salvation.       D avid's acknowledgment and appreciation for God's divine interception of the enemy's strategies should motivate us and cause us to reflect on the divine work of God in our own lives, prompting us to offer sacrificial praises for God's protection and strength. We too must acknowledge God as our rock and fortress, our strong tower and deliverer. J...

Trademark of Greatness

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 18:1-4 Worship sing: The Greatness of Our God   Meditation:      According to Merriam-Webster, greatness is defined as the quality of being distinguished, or exceptionally skilled, often characterized by superior achievement, impact, or magnitude. It signifies possessing remarkable ability, holding a high rank, or demonstrating outstanding importance, distinction, and influence in a specific field, such as leadership, art, or service. However, from a biblical perspective, the concept of greatness differs from the worldly interpretation.       Jesus teaches that true greatness is exemplified by becoming a servant, distinguished by love, sacrifice, and character, often demonstrated by prioritizing others. The disciples' curiosity led them to enquire who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus response likely came as a surprise when he stated that whoever humbles himself as a little ...
