The Broken Covenant

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Genesis 4:19-22

Worship song: Yield Not To Temptation

 


Meditation:

    Lamech was the first person in the Bible to practice polygamy, marrying two wives, Adah and Zillah. His actions directly violated the divine order established by God, which calls for marriage between one man and one woman. His marriage opposed God's plan, as stated: "a man shall leave his father and his mother. He shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Lamech departed from the pattern of monogamy, disobeying God’s divine plan and marking the beginning of bigamy in human history. 

    While our laws and culture reject polygamy as unlawful and unacceptable, the practice remains a socially accepted tradition in several African countries. Although we may not practice polygamy, people continue to break their marriage covenants by having multiple partners while legally married. This practice violates God's covenant of marriage and faithfulness. 

    May we remain steadfast in upholding God's divine principles and obeying His commandments, declaring that we will do whatever He says.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we humbly bow before You in reverence to honor You for Your faithfulness towards us. We wholeheartedly thank You for Your limitless grace and tender mercies. Lord, we acknowledge that we have failed to uphold Your laws and obey Your precepts and commands. Father, this morning we humbly place our wrongdoings into Your hands, seeking the peace that comes through forgiveness. We come before You, confessing our faults and the sins that so easily beset us. Forgive us, Lord, for blatantly disregarding Your instructions to satisfy our fleshly desires. Merciful God, please pardon our unfaithfulness and our failure to keep Your commandments. Lord, direct our paths, renew our minds, and help us exchange our fleshly desires for Your divine purpose, and follow Your covenant. Show us, Lord, how to live by Your truth and follow Your will. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌👏🙏

    Which sin listed in the Bible that is not known or practiced by humanity and inspite of them all we are forgiven. All have sinned and come short of His glory, nevertheless, we are forgiven. The covenant that was broken, is now renewed and we are now in good standing.🙏🙏💪

Beware of Your Enemies

Good morning Scripture reading: Nehemiah 4 Praise song: Victory Belongs to Jesus   Meditation:      When Nehemiah received word from his brethren concerning the Jews living in Jerusalem, he fasted and prayed to the God of heaven regarding the afflictions and reproach they were enduring at the hands of their enemies. Nehemiah was granted leave to travel to Jerusalem and rebuild the broken wall and the burned gates. When Nehemiah and his team arrived in Jerusalem, Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem confronted them, mocking and ridiculing them. However, they were not discouraged by their folly, for they had a task to accomplish.       When Sanballat realized that Nehemiah had completed the wall and that the Jews were now safe, he became furious, greatly indignant, and contemptuous of the Jews. After the completion with no breach remaining, Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, and the rest of their enemies were displeased. Sanballat then requested to meet ...

You Shall Trample

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 10:19 Worship song: Treadin On Lions   Meditation:      Jesus does not send us on missions without first equipping us. When Jesus appointed the seventy disciples, He did not send them empty-handed or alone. Before sending them on their mission, He organized them into groups of two, gave them specific instructions, and empowered them with divine authority. They did not rely on their own strength, intellect, or power, but on the divine authority of Jesus Christ, who had commissioned them.       Jesus's profound promise to the seventy remains true for us today. He promises that those who believe in Him shall do greater works through the power of the Holy Spirit (St. John 14:12). We have spiritual authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over the power of the adversary; nothing shall by any means hurt us. Armed with God's authority, we will conquer the lion and its cubs, the adder, and the ...

Let Your Light Shine

Good morning Scripture Reading: St. Matthew 5:14-16 Worship Song: Light of the World   Meditation:      A peenie wallie, also known as a firefly or lightning bug, is a bioluminescent beetle found primarily in Jamaica. It emits a flashing yellow-green light to attract its prey. Visible only at night, these beetles move swiftly through the darkness and are often drawn to any glimmer of light. Although its light is only a tiny ray, it glows in the darkness and can be seen from a distance.       As Jesus proclaimed while on the mount, we are the light of the world, and our light should not be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then covers it; instead, it is placed on a stand so that it can illuminate the entire room. Jesus declares that He is the Light, and those who follow Him will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life (St. John 8:12). If we are in Christ, we represent His light; therefore, we must walk as children of light. ...

Call Upon The Lord

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 18:1-6 Worship song: Hear My Cry, Oh Lord   Meditation:      Whom do you call upon in times of trouble, and to whom do you express gratitude when you are victorious?       During a time of profound distress, fear, and adversity, David trusted God to rescue, deliver, protect, and preserve him from those who rose against him. He relied solely on God to deliver him from those who sought to destroy him. After being delivered from the hand of Saul and his enemies, David lifted his voice in a song of gratitude to the Lord. It is wise to bring our challenges to God first and turn to prayer before speaking with others. When the righteous cry out, the Lord hears them and delivers them from all their troubles.       Although David was afraid, he was not dismayed, for he trusted God to uphold him with His righteous right hand. He joyfully declared his intention to pray fervently and call upo...
