A Righteous Deed

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Joshua 2

Worship song: Use Me Lord

 


Meditation:

    Everything under the sun has a specific purpose and plan. The story of Rahab, a Canaanite woman and a prominent figure in the Book of Joshua, beautifully illustrates this truth. Rahab lived in Jericho, a city deeply rooted in pagan worship, as the Israelites, led by Joshua, prepared to conquer Canaan. She courageously hid the Israelites' spies, demonstrating her faith in God and her belief in His divine power and faithfulness towards His people. Because of her bravery and kindness, Joshua ensured that she and her entire household were rescued before the city was destroyed. (Joshua 6:22-25; Hebrews 11:31). 

    Rahab and her family became part of the Israelite community.  She later married Salmon (Matthew 1:5 ) and became the mother of Boaz, who married Ruth. Her story reveals God's grace and mercy towards a woman with a troubled reputation, demonstrating that God can use anyone to accomplish His purpose. Her life was transformed when she encountered God. James 2:25 identifies her protection of the messengers as a righteous deed. 

    We are called to remain courageous and faithful to God, trusting that He can use us to accomplish great things and help guide others to move towards their destiny. Do not lose hope; the Lord's plans are for our well-being and prosperity, not our ruin.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we thank You for Your unmerited love and redeeming power, which brought us out of darkness and into Your marvellous light. Abba Father, protect us from pride and judgment. Teach us to see everyone as an instrument in Your hands, chosen by You for Your divine purpose. Remind us, Lord, that Your ways and thoughts are higher than ours and that You can work through anyone to accomplish Your will. We are grateful, Lord God, for Your divine plan to prosper us and not to harm us. We fully surrender to Your authority and willingly submit to Your will and Your ways. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit as we make ourselves available for You to use us to accomplish great things for Your honour and glory. Lord, we depend on You alone to keep us rooted and grounded as we abide daily by Your precepts. Grant us, O Lord, unwavering endurance to overcome difficult challenges and excel in our divine purpose. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen  

Wishing you a wonderful day. 👏💕🙏

They Went Forth

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 11:31 Worship song: I'll Go Where You Send Me   Meditation:      After the death of his son Haran, Terah left Ur with his son Abram, his grandson Lot, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, intending to travel to Canaan. However, upon arriving in Haran, he decided to settle there. Scripture does not explain why Terah chose to remain in Haran. Some commentators suggest that, following his son's death, he may have found a measure of emotional peace there. Others believe that fatigue or declining health may have influenced his decision to stop short of his intended destination.       Like Terah, we may have settled for what feels familiar, comfortable, and safe instead of continuing to pursue our divine calling. At times, what begins as a temporary rest can become a permanent stopping place. Terah left his home in Ur for Canaan but settled in Haran, which became a place of comfort rather than a temporary stop...

Can You Find a Substitute?

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 22:13 Worship song: No Other Blood   Meditation:      A substitute is someone or something that serves in place of another. In a profound test of faith, Abraham showed deep devotion and obedience. He was spared from sacrificing his son Isaac when God provided a ram caught in a thicket as a substitute offering. In sports, players stand ready to replace a teammate who is injured or unable to perform. In education, a substitute teacher fills in when the regular teacher is unavailable. In ministry, a substitute pastor leads the congregation and delivers God’s message when the shepherd of the flock is unavoidably absent or requires assistance.       Jesus Christ came from heaven, sent by His Father to accomplish our redemption as our ultimate substitute, doing what we could never do for ourselves. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Co...

Temporary Pain Relief

By

Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 8:18 Worship song: God Knows Your Pain   Meditation:      The comforts, remedies, and distractions we seek in this world are like physical painkillers; they provide temporary relief and mask our pain only for a short period. We have many ways to dull pain temporarily, from over-the-counter remedies and prescription medications to non-drug treatments that may soothe discomfort for a while. However, these measures cannot address the underlying condition.       As Romans 8:18 gently reminds us, our present sufferings and earthly pains cannot be compared with the eternal and incomparable glory that will one day be revealed in us. Earthly remedies provide temporary relief, but Christ promises lasting restoration. God does not merely want to manage our pain; His ultimate plan is to eliminate it. Our Heavenly Father assures us that He draws near to those who are hurting, weak, and brokenhearted. He binds u...

Obedient To The Call

Good morning Scripture Reading: St. Matthew 9:9-13 Worship song: Go   Meditation:      After ministering to the crowds in Capernaum, Jesus walked by a tax collector's booth where He saw a publican named Matthew, also known as Levi, and called him to follow Him. Without hesitation or question, Matthew left his post, wealth, possessions, and former life behind to follow Jesus. In that moment, his life changed forever. He became one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus, travelled with Him, listened to His teachings, and witnessed His miracles.       As an apostle, Matthew experienced the Gospel firsthand as he accompanied Jesus on His mission journeys. He also witnessed the events of Jesus' crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Following Jesus' ascension, Matthew continued to spread the Gospel and recorded a powerful testimony of Jesus Christ's ministry. Matthew demonstrated the faith of a true disciple who surrendered to God's will....
