Offerings On The Altar

Good morning

Scripture Reading: Genesis 8:20

Worship Song: That's What The Altar Is For

 


Meditation:

    Noah witnessed firsthand the terrifying force of God's divine power and wrath. Everything was destroyed; the land was laid waste, and no one survived except those safely sheltered in the ark. Upon disembarking, Noah's first act was not to build a house for his family, but to build an altar and worship God through sacrifice. He prioritized honoring God, overlooking his immediate needs. Rather than focusing on the devastation around him, Noah turned his eyes to God, his provider and the source of his strength. 

    Noah’s life reminds us to make wholehearted thanksgiving our very first response to God's deliverance. Acknowledge your victory through deep gratitude, thanking God for the way He brought you through and set you free. 

    If you are at your lowest point, when plans have collapsed, and possessions have been stripped away, remember that God is your anchor and the restorer of broken lives. If you have been struggling under the weight of your circumstances, and everything you have tried has failed, turn to Jesus. Place your trust in the only wise God, who is fully able to provide everything you need from His abundant riches. God sustained Noah, and He can do the same for you; fret not, only trust Him.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we humbly bow in reverence, kneeling to worship and adore You, our Creator. You are our God, and we are the people of Your pasture. Father, we recognize that we sometimes focus on our circumstances, worrying about the outcome rather than trusting in Your sovereignty. Today, Almighty God, we turn our focus to You, for You deserve our praise and our undivided hearts. Lord, we recognize the importance of seeking You first and pursuing all righteousness. We surrender to Your will, offering ourselves to You as living sacrifices, which is our reasonable service. We lift our eyes to You, Lord, offering our hearts in complete surrender and placing our steadfast trust in Your divine guidance. In the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a joyful day. 👏🙌🙏

Season of Waiting

Good Morning Day of Prayer- Season of Waiting And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. (Genesis 7:24) Worship song: Eagle's Wings Let us pray:      Everlasting Father, we humble ourselves before You, recognizing that this season of waiting requires our complete dependence on Your divine grace. Deepen our dependence on You, O God, still our anxious hearts, and give us faith to trust the doors You have closed and the ones You will open in Your perfect timing. Teach us, O God, total dependence on You to protect, provide, shield, and sustain us. Lord, we have no control over our destiny or what lies ahead, so we trust You with our lives, our well-being, and our future.       When the destination seems hidden, and the silence is deafening, remind us, O God, that You are working behind the scenes to perfect that which concerns us. While the storm rages and our issues seem unending, remember us, O God, as You remembered Noa...

Whatsoever Thou Sowest

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 6:1-10 Praise song: Sow mercy   Meditation:      In life, all beginnings originate from a seed that reproduces to generate offspring of its unique kind. God has ordained all plants to yield fruit of their own species. A farmer expects a harvest of peas from planting peas; similarly, we harvest the results of our deeds. The quality of the harvest depends on the quality of the seeds sown, exemplifying the principle that one will inevitably reap the consequences of their actions. There exist both good and bad seeds, so we should be cautious about sowing seeds, because whatever a man sows, he will one day reap. They that sow to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but they that sow to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.       The nature or extent of what we sow determines the nature or extent of what we harvest. If we sow compassion, love, peace, and kindness, we can antici...

The Power of Spoken Words

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 1:1-2 Worship song: Ancient Words   Meditation:      The old children's rhyme, “ Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words cannot harm me," was first recorded in print in the 19th century. People taught it as a defense mechanism to help kids build resilience, stay calm, and brush off name-calling or verbal bullying. Words are far from harmless. They carry the power to build up or tear down, to heal or wound, and to shape your relationships and futures. The words we speak can train our minds to anticipate and even create the outcome expected. Once we understand the impact of words we can no longer view them as powerless.       Jehovah God revealed the power of words when he spoke creation into existence. God said, Let there be and the element bowed in obedience. God’s word is active and powerful, and cuts sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Our spoken words too carry immense power...

God Has Not Forgotten You

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 8 Worship song: I Am Not Forgotten   Meditation:      It is difficult to comprehend the isolation Noah and his family must have experienced as they remained inside the ark, surrounded by water. Nevertheless, although they drifted aimlessly while waiting for the storm to subside, they were never in danger. They were secure, carried safely through the raging tempest, and comforted by the presence of God. After forty days and nights of torrential rain, the land was completely submerged. But God remembered Noah, sent a wind across the earth, and the waters began to recede. God's remembering Noah does not mean that He had forgotten him. Sealed in by God's own hand, they were guarded and kept safe through the entire flood.       When life's storms rage, we may feel abandoned; however, we are reminded that God has not forgotten us amid our trials. God remembers us in our low estate: for His mercy endureth...
