Get it right

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Matthew 5:17-48

Worship song: Make It Right

\\



Meditation:

    Have you heard the saying that "things and time change, and what applied and worked for past generations does not work for today's generation"? Even if there is any truth to that, the Word of God remains unchanged; it never changes, and His law remains the same. The Constitution of Jamaica or any other country can be amended or appealed, but the Bible cannot be altered or revoked; its truth is permanent and eternal. As verse 18 states: "Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. This clearly shows that God's law is unwavering and all generations are called to uphold it; they are expected to abide by and adhere to the word of God. 

    The Bible also teaches that to enter heaven, our righteousness should surpass that of the Scribes and Pharisees. These religious leaders appeared righteous to men, but inwardly they were filled with iniquities and uncleanness. They focused more on religion, obeying rules and laws, than genuinely living a righteous life (Matthew 23). 

    True righteousness is not something earned through religious works, bought by charitable giving, or earned by good deeds. It is a gift received by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and willingness to align with His will.

Let us pray:

    Omnipresent and Omniscient God, the only wise Creator, guide us back to the foundation of life, O God, when we hungered to hear Your spoken words. Lead us, Heavenly Father, to that place where listening to and living by Your words was our number one priority. Almighty God, take us to where we once feared and trembled at even the very mention of Your name. Humble us, like little children, Mighty God, for of such is Your kingdom. Almighty God, we desire to live a life pure and holy, committed to doing Your will. Open our eyes to see the wrongs and make a change. Convict our hearts, Heavenly Father, and draw us back to You, O God. Cleanse and purify us from deep within so Your light can shine outward. Extend Your mercies unto us and renew a right spirit within us. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, our soon-coming King. Amen. 

Wishing you a day filled with joy. 💞👏🙏

    It is very important to allow a young heart to be established in the truth and righteousness very early. When something other that the truth starts to take root it is very hard to root it up and by so doing affect the proper growth of the plant or the individual. Many people today were not taught the truth, thus the difficulty they face today but with God all things are possible. For your devotions many will read and some won't but like a sower, keep sowing. Blessings. 🙏🙏

Pressing On At Any Cost

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 3:12-15 Hymn: I am pressing on   Meditation:      The Apostle Paul, a highly influential witness of Jesus Christ and dedicated preacher of the gospel, faced numerous trials, suffering, and persecution. Despite imprisonment and persecution for spreading the gospel, he remained steadfast and committed to fulfilling his divine purpose. Paul continued his mission to serve, seek, and minister to those who needed to know about Jesus Christ. He was not afraid to venture into dangerous territories. He pressed on to the higher calling by doing God's will and completing his mission.       To press on or press ahead means continuing with a task or activity in a determined way, without allowing any problems or difficulties to stop, delay, or hinder you. Stay focused on your ultimate purpose and maintain your persistence, even when facing challenges. Consider it pure joy when you fall into divers temptation...

Bound by Shackles

Good morning Scripture reading: Mark 5:1-20 Praise song: Shackles Are Broken   Meditation;      Several years ago, the Court Administration Division (CAD) summoned me to serve as a juror. Nothing has touched me more deeply than seeing prisoners entering the courtroom chained together with shackles on their hands and feet. In that moment, I realized that serving in such a role was not something I was mentally prepared to do, so I kindly petitioned to be excused.       Observing the state of confinement prompted me to ponder the shackles that have restricted us spiritually. I reflected on the factors we permitted to dominate our minds and hinder us from experiencing the freedom and blessings of Almighty God. Emotional pain, stress, poor choices, or guilt can leave us feeling trapped and isolated.       When these heavy chains hinder us from living fully or connecting with others, remember that faith in Jesus has the power...
