Jesus Is Calling You
Good morning
Scripture reading: Matthew 9:9-13
Worship song: Softly and Tenderly
Meditation:
Matthew, a collector of internal revenue, was diligently collecting taxes as is customary; however, when Jesus called, he immediately left everything behind and followed him. The Pharisees perceived tax collectors as adversaries to be avoided. Jesus regarded them as souls in need of spiritual healing. While the Pharisees imposed strict rules on tax collectors, Jesus extended genuine forgiveness and offered a fresh beginning. Jesus came to minister healing to the afflicted, sight to the blind, and redemption to all sinners.
Ezekiel 33:11 reminds us that God takes no pleasure in the death of
the wicked, but desires them to turn from their evil ways and choose life. If
Jesus is calling you, please do not hesitate; do not harden your hearts.
Instead, let go of your worldly pursuit and self-righteousness, and you will
find pardon and access to the tree of life. Come to Jesus Christ without delay.
Come as you are, broken, contrite, and longing for grace.
Let us pray:
Precious Lord, I humbly worship and praise Your holy name.
You alone deserve all honor, praise, and adoration. There is none like You, O
God; no one compares to You. Father, as You call us by name and invite us to
serve, as You reach out to the ordinary to do extraordinary tasks for Your
kingdom, help us respond with open hearts. I pray we will answer Your call
promptly and come to You without hesitation. Please forgive us, Almighty God,
if we become too occupied with our earthly concerns or distracted by worldly
affairs that we neglect our divine purpose. Father, root out and destroy every
negative force and distracting spirit that occupies our thoughts, and fill us
with Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen us against stubborn willpower and grant us
hearts eager to obey Your divine will and commands. In the precious name of
Jesus Christ. Amen.
Wishing you a joyful day. 💕🙌🙏
Blessings in Abundance 🙏🏽
ReplyDeleteEvery individual at some point in their lives receive the convicting call of the Holy Spirit. Some turn Him away and others invited Him in, those who invited Him in, what a difference He made in their lives, for others it is so sad that they turn the one they needed most away. Let us continue to listen to His voice as we follow His leading. 🙏🙏💪
