We Have Power and Authority

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 10:18-20 Worship song: Step on The Enemy   Meditation:      Jesus has bestowed upon his disciples the authority to tread upon serpents, scorpions, and all enemies. The same empowering authority is given to every believer. We possess the right and liberty to exercise this authority boldly over every serpent and adversary. As children of God, we are equipped to trample on serpents and scorpions and every force of darkness. Nothing can harm us when we operate this divine power. Revelation 12 reminds us that the serpent, Satan, along with his cohorts of darkness, is actively working to deceive the world.       However, we will not be dismayed or discouraged, for while the serpent may bruise our heels, we are empowered through Jesus Christ to crush his head. Jesus Christ, the ultimate seed of the woman, triumphed over Satan through his death and resurrection. When the enemy strikes, remember we ha...

When You Have Jesus

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 73:25-28 Worship song: Jesus Is You're All I Need   Meditation:      We can accumulate everything money can buy and have an abundance of wealth yet remain spiritually bankrupt in God's eyes. It is possible to surround ourselves with comfort and still feel miserable. We may pursue education and qualifications, but without true wisdom, we are still lacking. The True riches, comfort, happiness, and peace we seek cannot be found in material possessions; they are solely found in Jesus Christ. He alone qualifies the call, restores hope to the hopeless and sets at liberty those who are broken-hearted and shackled.       When God gave us Jesus, He gave us everything we needed. Our earthly possessions cannot be compared to the riches in glory that are stored up for us. When we earnestly seek Jesus, goodness, and mercy will surely follow us all through our lives. When we seek Jesus first and live by his precep...

Beware of The Enchanters

Image
Good Morning Scripture reading: Daniel 2:1- 49 Worship song: Jesus is the answer   Meditation:      Nebuchadnezzar lived his life trusting, listening, and accepting the advice of the enchanters, the wise men, but never thought the day would come when they would fail him. He trusted and put his faith in unreliable sources—those who used different methods of divination to perform their enchantments. His request, however, would not be interpreted by unfamiliar spirits because only Almighty God has the answer.       In Nebuchadnezzar's quest to seek answers, God anointed and equipped Daniel with the interpretation that only God could provide. People are fascinated by the performances of magicians, the practices of enchanters, and sorcerers, but the word of God declares in Deuteronomy 18 that those who practice these things are an abomination to him. If they do not repent of their folly, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire an...

On Death Row

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 3:1-25 Praise song: O The Blood   Meditation:      A famous quote that I often hear is, "If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time!" I doubt anyone convicted of serious offenses is ever mentally prepared to spend time in solitary confinement. In this world of sin, we all stand accused before God, and we are all guilty of committing offenses against God, our creator, and because of this, our ultimate punishment is the death penalty. Everyone who rejected Jesus Christ and turned their backs on Him is on death row, placed in isolation, and waiting to be executed.       When you turn from your wicked ways, surrender to Jesus Christ, and confess all your sins, you will be pardoned, and all your sins will be forgiven. Walk away from the lifestyle that displeases God, walk away from worldly pleasures, from the glamour and glitter that held you spellbound, and surrender to Jesus Christ. Only a look at...

Falsely Accused

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Jeremiah 26 Worship song: In the Valley   Meditation:      Jeremiah was divinely chosen by God to prophesy and warn the people of Jerusalem about the imminent destruction of their city due to their disobedience and idolatry. Known as the weeping prophet, Jeremiah faced numerous challenges and difficulties, including imprisonment, but he remained faithful and resilient. He was accused by the priests and prophets of being a false prophet and accused of committing treason for his warning about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. Enraged by Jeremiah's prophecy, the people, along with the priests and prophets, conspired against him, seeking the princes' permission to kill him.       However, God was with Jeremiah, providing protection and shielding him so that his spirit and testimony were not shattered. When you encounter adversity and you feel tempted to abort your mission, remember that the God...

The Bread That Sustains

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 6:35-40 Worship song: Bread of Heaven   Meditation:      The bread that Jesus offers us cannot be purchased with money, nor is it found in a bakery. No earthly ingredients combined together can make this bread. This bread symbolizes Jesus Christ himself. Speaking to the multitude and his disciples, Jesus boldly identifies himself as the bread of life. He said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.       Jesus is the bread of life that sustains and nourishes us spiritually. Jesus promised that those who come to him, their spiritual hunger will be satisfied, and their thirsty soul will be quenched. Incline your ear and come unto me, says the Lord; hear, and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you and show you mercy. Le...

Blessed Shall You Be

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 11:27-28 Worship song: I Thirst for You   Meditation:      Jesus's profound promise is that those who hear the word of God and keep it will be undeniably blessed. The word comes to us primarily through two profound forms: the divinely inspired written word and the incarnate word, Jesus Christ, whose life, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice are God's personal revelation to humanity. Those who receive Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Lord will be blessed with everlasting life, redeemed by His blood, and saved from God's wrath and judgment.       We are blessed with the word of God, which is rich in wisdom and knowledge, guiding us towards a meaningful life. The word of God empowers us to make choices that honor God and live righteously. It had the power to renew our minds, transform our thoughts, and strengthen our faith. Depart not from the word of God; plant it deep within your heart, for it is...

Bless And Curse Not

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 6:27-28 Worship song: The Jesus Way   Meditation:      Jesus emphasizes four crucial principles in his teaching: love, prayer, blessing others, and doing good. Among the most profound teachings of Jesus is the call to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless the ones who curse us, and pray for those who despitefully use us. It is essential that as children of God, we conform to God's teachings. His teachings are geared to edify us and help us establish a relationship with him that demonstrates love for one another. Jesus is reminding us that not everyone will love us, bless us, and do good unto us.       Nevertheless, despite our affliction at the hands of our enemies, we should show love, bless, pray, and do good unto them. Instead of retaliating against those who harm us, we are called to show love, compassion, and kindness to them. We must hold no grudge or resentment against those...
