The Thief of Opportunities

By

Good morning

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:3-7

Worship song: I have decided

 


Meditation:

    Making decisions is likely the most challenging thing to do. Most of the time, we hesitate or ignore making decisions, which in turn causes us to miss out on valuable opportunities. When confronted with choices, everyone faces decision phobia at times. Farmers will hesitate to sow because their eyes are focused on the clouds. People may hesitate to move forward because of the fear of loss, making wrong choices, as well as the fear of failure. He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who is fearful cannot make the right decisions. 

    Do not allow indecision to control your life and rob you of opportunities, happiness, and growth. Whatever opportunities are available, seek God's guidance, review your options, and select the best choice possible. Following Jesus Christ and living by His commands is the one choice that must never be stopped by fear or shaped by negativity. Keep your heart clear of bad influences when you walk with Him, and live by His rules and words with a strong and open mind. Following Jesus Christ brings lasting rewards that no person or god can ever change or take away. Trusting God's plan and serving Him with bold confidence is the greatest decision you can ever make.

Let us pray: 

    Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent God, I give thee thanks, O God, for your grace and tender mercies. Lord, at times we are faced with uncertainties in decision-making. We pray, O God, that you will grant us wisdom and lead us to make choices that will be beneficial to us and spiritually impactful. Guide our steps and grant us courage when the path ahead is unclear. Lord Jesus, please guide our decisions to look beyond worldly wealth and physical rewards, focusing instead on bringing honor to your name and growing our spirit. Help us, Almighty God, to rid indecision from our lives for the benefit of moving towards our divine purposes. In the precious name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌💖🙏

The First Responders

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Luke 10:25-37 Worship song: I Will Say Of The Lord   Meditation:      The story of the Good Samaritan illustrates the essential role of first responders. These individuals are recognized for positively influencing the lives of others by providing assistance using their skills and emergency techniques. Their duties include administering CPR, First Aid, assessing situations, providing initial care to victims, and relating vita data to dispatch and hospitals while focusing primarily on saving lives and protecting their own safety and that of others. Typically, first responders are the first to arrive at emergency scenes.       Though not the first to arrive on the scene, the Samaritan responded with compassion, care, and kindness, brought the victim to the innkeeper, and paid for the victim's treatment. As Christ's ambassadors, we act as the initial response team to bring the message of the gospel to those wh...

Start With The Little You Know

Good morning Scripture reading: Acts 18: 22-28 Hymn: The Comforter Has Come   Meditation:      Apollos was an evangelist and an eloquent speaker, fervent in spirit, who spoke highly of the Lord. He taught boldly in the synagogue at Ephesus about the baptism of John. However, at that time, Apollos was not acquainted with the teachings of Jesus Christ. When Aquila and Priscilla heard his teaching, they took him and clearly explained to him the way of the Lord. Apollos gladly shared the knowledge he had gained and convinced the Jews through the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.       You can start spreading the word by sharing the little you know about Jesus Christ and the gospel. He will send messengers to expound to you more clearly the word of God through the help of the Holy Spirit. There are souls to save, and many are dying without Christ. Every soul is valuable. Do not withhold the word of God; instead, proclaim it so that others may...

Clothed in Earthly Attire

Good morning Scripture: Hosea 2:1-13 Praise song: Kill My Flesh   Meditation:      The prophecy of Hosea serves as a plea to the Israelites to turn away from their unfaithfulness and to return to God. Their sinful and lustful lifestyle has caused a separation between them and God. Although this prophecy was originally directed at the Israelites, it remains valid to all nations today: urging them to forsake their selfish and egoistic desires and return to Jesus Christ, their first love. God continues to beseech all backsliding nations, tribes, and people to relinquish earthly pursuits, pleasures, and concerns that distract us from seeking God wholeheartedly and sincerely.       God promises to strip us naked, to take away everything we cling to dearly, and leave us dry as the wilderness if we continue to yearn for the things of this world, the things that cause a division between Him and us. He will strip away everything we attach to if w...

Bridge the Gap

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 2:13-22 Worship song: Gracefully Broken   Meditation:      Historical records indicate that China's emperors began constructing the Great Wall between the 7th and 8th centuries B.C., a project over a period of more than 1,000 years. The Great Wall emerged as the most recognized symbol of China, erected when the Warring States built defensive walls to prevent incursions and invaders with the intent that it would ward off enemies from the north and protect their territory.       Similarly, in our lives, we often erect defensive walls intended to keep intruders and invaders at bay. However, more often than not, these walls trap us rather than protect us. Typically, emotional walls are erected after experiencing a broken heart and before the healing process is completed. The walls we build do not serve to protect us; rather, they keep us locked in the prisons of our own making.     ...
