Remember The Lord Your God

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 8:7-20

Worship song: Blessed Be Your Name

 


Meditation:

    Moses issued a stern warning to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land cautioning them not to allow future wealth, comfort, and success to cause them to forget that God is the true source of all their blessings. The human tendency is to become prideful and forget the God who delivered them out of hardship and desperate circumstances. People are swift to negotiate with God during times of difficulty, earnestly pleading for relief, but they often break their promises once their circumstances improve or stability is restored. 

    Never boast that your success is the result of your own strength and hard work. Always acknowledge that your wealth comes from God. Remember to give thanks, for it is the Lord who grants you the ability to prosper. Whatever we build in this life is empowered by God. If He is not the foundation, our work is in vain. "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it" (Psalms 127:1). 

    Moses' caution against complacency during periods of success serves as a reminder that mankind habitually fails to recognize divine intervention following deliverance from peril.  Forgetting the source of your blessings and claiming the glory for yourself will inevitably lead to downfall. (Deuteronomy 8:19)

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, your word is a lamp unto our feet and light onto our path. Abba Father, we acknowledge your sovereignty and power, recognizing, O Lord, that you are the foundation of our achievements. We worship you confidently from a place of gratitude, knowing, O God, that you are the restorer and giver of blessings. Lord, we humble ourselves in Your presence daily, boasting in Your divine power and not our own feeble strength. We thank You for keeping us safe, providing for us, and rescuing us in our times of need. I pray, O God, that we will not be blinded by wealth or our accomplishments, that we forget, O Lord, that you are the true source of all our blessings. Assist us, Lord God, not to make desperate promises we easily forget, but rather uphold our pledges with genuine thanksgiving and praise in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a joyful day. 👏🙌🙏

If God Be For Us

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 8:31-39 Worship song: If God Is For Me   Meditation:      With God on your side, no enemy can truly triumph over you, even when it seems they are succeeding during persecution or tribulation. It may look like they are succeeding when they mock us or threaten us, but God's purpose and support for us are far greater than any force against us. Though we are oppressed and chastised by our adversary, we shall overcome for we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.       Apostle Paul reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amidst human rejection, we can draw strength from the knowledge that God's love is beyond measure and without condition. Do not be dismayed or fear those who are against you for God will never leave you. He will strengthen you and uphold you with His righteous right hand. If God be for us, tell me who can triumph a...

Better Awaits You

Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21 Praise song: Jerusalem   Meditation:      This world is unpredictable and full of trials, sadness, and disappointment; nevertheless, we hold firmly to the divine promise of restoration through our Lord. A time is coming when suffering will cease, and God will bring an end to all sorrow, sickness, and death. While we look forward to the future, our focus should be on serving God wholeheartedly and living according to His commandments and precepts. This life is a journey, not our final destination.       For those who place their trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is assured. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive when he shall return shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and be with him forever. As we serve the Lord with gladness, and worship Him in spirit and truth, let us be prepared to meet Him. If you have not yet r...

Leave With Urgency

Good morning Day of Testimony- Leave With Urgency And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. St. Matthew 2:13 Praise song: Nearer My God To Thee   Testimony:      The biblical account of the angel instructing Joseph to flee brings to mind a vivid dream I had. I recall waking up feeling frightened, confused, and perplexed because, in the dream, I was commanded to leave my home immediately and take absolutely nothing for the journey. I was not given a destination, only instructions to leave now. Months later, the purpose and mystery of the dream unraveled, becoming crystal clear. Throughout scripture and history, God has used visions and dreams to communicate His plans, warn believers, and reveal what is to come. In Joel 2, the Lord promised ...

Called to Serve

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 10:1-20 Hymn: Just as I am   Meditation:      Jesus Christ selected ordinary individuals to serve as his disciples; He also endowed them with authority over unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all kinds of sickness and diseases. Among those Jesus chose as his disciples were tax collectors and fishermen. As Jesus commissioned his disciples for service, He provided precise instructions to take the gospel to willing listeners and to the lost sheep.       The disciples were informed that they would encounter some stubborn, self-willed persons, who would reject the gospel. They were sent among the vilest of sinners and advised to exercise wisdom, be harmless, and remain focused on their mission. They were also warned about the persecution they would ultimately face. If you are called to serve, do so with a willing heart, knowing that you are serving a mighty God who keeps His promises. Do not w...
