Will Not Inherit The Kingdom

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11

Praise song: Change My Heart Oh God

 


Meditation:

    Paul warns the church not to be deceived, listing behaviors that are incompatible with belonging to God's kingdom. He highlights that individuals whose lives are characterized by persistent, unrepentant sin, including sexual immorality, idolatry, greed, and malice etc. will not inherit or belong to God's kingdom. Those who seek to fulfill the desires of the flesh, living to please and satisfy the self rather than the creator will miss this inheritance. 

    Based on his teachings, one would get the understanding that the believers were not fully aware as to who would inherit the Kingdom of God. Paul warns the church not to be deceived, for the unrighteous and the ungodly will not inherit God's Kingdom. The context of this passage emphasizes that the continuous pursuit of the desires of the flesh and the refusal to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour can lead to perishing in our trespasses and sins. Pursue righteousness, serve God, and obey His precepts and commands so that you will be numbered among the inheritors of His Kingdom. If you feel God calling to you, stay open and obedient.

Let us pray:

   Sovereign God, blessed redeemer and friend, I am extremely grateful for your tender mercies and unconditional love towards us. Father, we thank you for your gift of salvation, asking for your grace to assist us in living worthy of the inheritance we have in Christ. I pray, O God, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, we will continue to shun the appearances of evil and walk the path of righteousness and holiness daily. Father, when our flesh becomes weak, empower us with your supernatural strength. Where there is weakness, O God, strengthen us; where there is self-will, incline our hearts to seek after righteousness and where we lack understanding, grant us wisdom, lest we falter and turn away from following after you. Grant us, divine patience to run this race in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you a wonderful day. 👏🙌🙏

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...

Saving The Loss

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety And Nine Meditation:     After an extensive search for a misplaced document of significant importance, I experienced overwhelming frustration and anxiety. Ultimately, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, although I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I contemplate the Lord's feelings when those he loves turn away and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember that we are precious and valuable in God's sight, and his love is unconditional. His desire is for us to renounce our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly. God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions.    Our Savior stands ready to shepherd us out of the wilderness of sin and toward spiritual safety. God is always prepared to extend his loving arms to restore wandering souls to himself. Are you a...

Justified by His Blood

Good Morning Scripture Reading: Romans 5 Worship Song: O The Blood   Meditation:      To be justified means to have a solid, just, and reasonable foundation. This is clearly demonstrated in the powerful narrative of Jesus Christ, who assumed the role of Savior and Mediator for sinners. Jesus's atonement on the cross was not random, but deliberate, justified, and essential to satisfy divine justice for sinners. His unconditional love and compassion led him to Calvary, where He willingly laid down his life to redeem and free us from bondage.       Before Christ, we were separated from God, living as enemies in our sinful nature. Through Christ, we are reconciled. Sin and holiness do not coexist; therefore, to enter the presence of a Holy God, we must undergo a process of sanctification. Only through Jesus Christ can we be sanctified by the renewing of our minds and the purification of our hearts. Jesus Christ died for all sinners, but rede...

Dwelling in a Foreign Land

Good morning  Scripture reading: Exodus 12:37-42 Worship song: Faithful Pilgrim Meditation:        The Lord God revealed to Abram in a vision that his descendants would become immigrants in a foreign land and would be mistreated for four hundred (400) years  Subsequently, He would send a deliverer to rescue them from bondage. God assured Abram that after this period, He would deliver them from their oppressors, and they would leave that country with great possessions. The events that transpired following Joseph's injustice and hardship laid the foundation for the circumstances leading to the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt.        After Joseph's death, the Israelites in Egypt continued to experience abundant growth and prosperity. However, a new Pharaoh, who did not know Joseph, ascended to power. Concerned about their increasing numbers and strength, he enslaved them, compelling them to build cities and labor under harsh conditions. Th...
