Walking in Obedience

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 2 John 1

Worship song: Walk in Truth and Love

 


Meditation:

    In his second epistle, Apostle John commended a local congregation for walking in the truth of the gospel. Although they were already abiding by the truth, he strongly encouraged them to continue walking in love by adhering to God’s commandments. Emphasizing Love and compassion towards others is a fundamental aspect of obeying God's commandments. The Apostle Paul warned the church to remain vigilant and fully aware of the deceivers who deny that Jesus came in the flesh. 

    He cautioned against welcoming or entertaining individuals who reject the truth about Jesus and his ministry. Paul affirms that offering hospitality or encouragement to deceivers is to partner in their corrupt deeds. Furthermore, he urged believers to maintain the spiritual foundation they have established and the blessings they have obtained through faithful service to Christ. We are advised to encourage one another in Christ, to maintain the faith, sustain hope, and guard our spiritual commitment to ensure that our labor is not in vain.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, we give thanks for your word which reminds us to obey your commandments by loving others as Christ demonstrated during His earthly ministry. Almighty God, we seek your divine assistance and the spirit of discernment to remain vigilant against deceivers disguised as true bearers of the gospel, who deceive the unsuspecting. Father, we ask for spiritual guidance and understanding, that the Holy Spirit may lead us into Your truth and protect us from false teachings. Lord, we humbly surrender our limited understanding to Your authority, seeking wisdom and knowledge through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Guard our minds against falsehood and our hearts from deception in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you a day of divine peace ✌💕🙏

Get Rid of The Dregs

Good morning Scripture reading: Zephaniah 1:12 Worship song: Forever At Your Feet   Meditation:                Dregs represent the undesirable, the most worthless, or the solid particles that tend to settle at the bottom of some liquids. One can also consider dregs as the residues or sediments that remain after a process of separating the wanted from the unwanted. Sin is the unfiltered sediment in our lives. It has no value other than to separate us from our Heavenly Father and create a blockage detrimental to our spiritual growth. It will destroy our communication, prayer life, and relationship with Jesus Christ. Sin is the stubborn lees we fail to cleanse, the sediment that clings to the depths of our souls.       The dregs that settle at the bottom of your coffee, tea, or other beverages are wasted substances that are never consumed. Why then, do we accept sin and remain comfortable when it is only corrup...

Seek Advice From The Right Source

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Kings 1 Worship song: Same Power   Meditation:      Acting on divine command delivered by an angel, Prophet Elijah stopped the messenger sent by King Ahaziah to inform him of the king's fate for defying the God of Israel. King Ahaziah’s decision to consult the god Baal-zebub concerning his health, rather than seeking divine assistance from the God of Israel resulted in a divine judgment that determined his destiny. The king failed to seek healing from the only God who is capable of restoring his health. He demonstrated a lack of faith and disregard for God's sovereignty and Omnipotent power choosing instead to trust the advice of baal gods.       We are cautioned in Leviticus 19 to avoid those who possess familiar spirits and refrain from seeking after wizards because they will defile us spiritually. Additionally,   Deuteronomy 18 forbids consulting familiar spirits and wizards, considering the...

Undignified Worship

By

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 6:14-23 Worship song: Undignified   Meditation:      Unknown to David, his wife, Michal, the daughter of King Saul, secretly observed him dancing joyfully before the Lord. However, her heart was filled with bitterness, and she despised him, perceiving his behavior as vulgar and lacking royal dignity. She mocked him for appearing in public wearing only a simple linen ephod instead of his kingly attire. David's sincere devotion and heartfelt worship were directed solely to the Lord, who chose him over Saul's house. He committed to disregarding his kingly dignity entirely, prioritizing God's honor above his own reputation.       David's undignified worship exemplifies passionate, unrestrained praise that emphasizes honoring God over maintaining public esteem or personal dignity. As a result of her prideful and judgmental attitude, Michal remained barren. While Michal was preoccupied with externa...

Relying on GPS

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 3:5-6 Meditation Song: Show Me Your Ways   Meditation:      Centuries ago, travelers depended on maps and compasses for navigation. However, with the use of modern technology, the Global Positioning System (GPS) was started by the United States Department of Defense in 1973. The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) offer geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver located anywhere on or near the Earth, provided there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more satellites. GPS is made up of three different components, known as segments, that work together to provide location data, velocity, and time information for air, sea, and land travel.       Despite human inventions, none are as effective and accurate as our Lord. The most superior GPS available that will never lose its signal is God's plan of Salvation (GPS). For this GPS to function, one must establish a connection with Je...
