A Broken Contract

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 24: 14-15 

Worship song: Victory Belongs to Jesus

 


Meditation:

    The seven-year bilateral contract agreement between Laban and Jacob was broken after Laban failed to fulfill his end of the bargain, but despite being disappointed by the outcome of their verbal agreement, Jacob dedicated his time and service to Laban as he worked relentlessly for fourteen more years. Realizing that Laban was a deceiver and unjust master, Jacob took his family and fled, dissatisfied that Laban had deceived him and had despitefully changed his wages ten times. No doubt some Laban spirits still operate as bosses in the workforce, deceiving and robbing the poor and needy of their hard-earned salaries. 

    Take care that you do not oppress the poor and the destitute, nor withhold the wages due to them; for the Lord is their protector, and their cries have reached His ears. Those who decide to oppress the poor shall weep and howl when misery shall come upon them. Woe unto all deceivers, for you may be rejoicing now, but weeping shall be your latter end. Woe unto the unjust employer who used his neighbor's service and refused to pay a fair wage (Jer. 22:13). You are required to treat your workers fairly and justly, because you have a Supreme Master in heaven who sees everything you do.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, worthy are You, O Lord, to receive glory, honor, and praise. Deliver us, O God, from oppressors, manipulators, and those who exploit our service. Father, help those who are struggling financially, those who have been used and abused, and those who have served faithfully without being rewarded with fair wages. Lord, grant us the zeal to walk in authority, even when others underestimate us, trusting that everything will work out for our ultimate good. Remind us that the road to success requires unwavering determination, commitment, dedication, and honesty. Lord God, hear the cries of Your people suffering under oppressive bondage. Comfort their aching hearts and bring divine reassurance and peace to everyone who mourns today. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our King. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. 👏💞🙏

Living for Jehovah God

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 63:1 Praise song: Live My Life   Meditation:      Some individuals dedicate their entire lives to fulfilling others' expectations while neglecting their own well-being. The pursuit of love, peace, acceptance, and joy is not found in material possessions, external circumstances, or other individuals; it is found in Jesus Christ. Nothing surpasses His everlasting, unconditional love. When one adheres to God's ways, their life transforms to reflect His character. The old has passed away, and all things have become new. Inner peace and profound contentment are experienced when cultivating a relationship with Jesus Christ.       Concerns about status or setbacks diminish because one knows whose they belong. Our commitment should mirror that of Joshua, vowing that regardless of the paths chosen by others, my family and I have made our permanent decision to walk with the Lord. Dedicating and making a commit...

Spiritually Unclad

Good morning Scripture reading: Colossians 3:12-17 Worship song: Clothed in Righteousness   Meditation:      While we are dressed appropriately for physical occasions, it is essential to analyze our spiritual attire and recognize that we might be wearing the wrong attire spiritually. Let us confidently examine our spiritual garments and scrutinize the robe we are wearing. If you have allowed compromise to tarnish your life, such as a sinful habit, it is time for a divine wardrobe change. If you realize you are wearing garments of fear, doubt, hatred, bitterness, self-righteousness, self-reliance, pride, or unforgiveness, now is the time to intentionally change those filthy garments.       Divine sacred attire influences your presence, speech, actions, and movement. God desires to cloak us with blessings, humility, praise, righteousness, compassion, power, and light, but we must first put on Christ, walk in obedience, align our will with ...

Why Struggle When Help Is Available?

Good morning Scripture: Isaiah 41:9-13 Worship song: Take Your Burden To Jesus   Meditation:      Whenever we met to socialize, my sister would jokingly say, 'Why struggle when help is here?' a comment that was often followed by an uproar of laughter. Reflecting on her words, I thought of the challenges we face daily. Many of us confront stressful, overwhelming issues, yet we attempt to handle them alone without seeking assistance. Whatever struggles we are encountering, we can rest assured that our help is found in Jesus, our divine Helper.       Jesus told His disciples to expect trouble in this world, but promised they would find true peace in Him. He urged them to stay hopeful because the power of God living inside them is greater than any trouble they will face. Our greatest divine Helper is Almighty God. All of our support comes from the Lord. He invites us, saying, "Come unto me, all that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give...

When Faith is Exemplified

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 3:5-6 Worship song: Trust In God   Meditation:      We often trust in pilots and drivers we know little or nothing about, believing in their ability to navigate the vehicle. We entrust strangers to lead us through storms of the air, land, and sea, yet hesitate to place our confidence in the Creator who commands the wind and the storm. We trust ship navigators, assuming they are experienced and capable of guiding us safely. Yet we fail to trust Almighty God, who controls everything. We must acknowledge that the Almighty Creator, who fashioned the heavens and the earth through His supreme power, guarantees that no challenge exceeds His capability.       If we can trust those with limited capability, surely, we can put our faith and trust in the God who forms us in our mother's womb. Surely, we can trust the Lord our God, who rules the nations and fights our enemies on our behalf. The God we follow r...
