A Father's Love

Image
Happy Father’s Day Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Song: How Deep the Father’s Love for Us   Meditation:      The intriguing narrative, recorded in St. Luke 15, highlights the unconditional love and sincere compassion of a father for his children. The younger son's disrespectful request for his inheritance and his reckless lifestyle choices made his father's arms open wide to receive him. His father taught him moral principles, but all that he had learned was overshadowed by the extravagant lifestyle he adopted in the foreign country. Destitute, empty, and broken, he returned to his father, who was waiting in anticipation for his return. The father, overwhelmed with joy and gladness, forgave and welcomed his son home.       This is a typical example of God's unconditional love for us. God's love is extended to you whether you are a backslider, sinner, atheist, believer, or unbeliever. He loves you sincerely but hates ...

The Power of Love

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 3:14-21 Praise song: If that isn't love   Meditation:      Love, expressed appropriately, can significantly impact our behavior, well-being, and ability to connect with others. Love is the most powerful gift to humans, which is a complex force much deeper than emotional or physical attraction. Love is patient, compassionate, and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, and it is not proud. Love does not dishonor others; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; and it keeps no record of wrongs. It is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Love endures and overcomes every challenge and grows stronger through adversity.       The true power of love was demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who expressed His unlimited, matchless love for humanity by sacrificing His life for us. Jesus' love is greater than any you can find. He came to earth in the form of flesh, walked among s...

The Report

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 13 Worship song: Whose Report Will You Believe   Meditation:      According to the LSD Law, the term 'majority rules' is a powerful decision-making principle in various contexts, especially in election proceedings, to determine the outcome. However, this method was not a principle used in the story of the twelve representatives sent to survey the land of Canaan.       In this instance, it was the minority's report that shaped the Israelites' destiny. Moses sought essential insights about the land and the inhabitants so he could fulfill his God-given mission. For Moses to make informed, effective decisions, knowing the structure of the land, the power, and the strength of the people was crucial.       If you have received a report that is not favorable and it causes you to fear the inevitable, remember God is in control and he has the final say. Trust God's sovereignty, for he co...

The Scars That Never Fade

Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Isaiah 61:1-3 Worship Song: When His Wounded Hands...   Meditation:      Visible scars on our bodies serve as a powerful reminder of the wounds we have endured from painful experiences. They testify to our resilience and strength as survivors. They reflect not only the struggles we faced but also remind us that we have triumphed over them.       Unlike many scars we bear, the scars of Jesus are not the result of accident or wrongdoing. The scars on His hands, feet, and side represent the nail scars of profound injustice he willingly endured for humanity. He endures the pain and agony of nails hammering through him for our sake. He was wounded and afflicted for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and bore every stripe for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. Because of His ultimate sacrifice, we have the opportunity to live eternally.       To reject Jesus Christ is to...

I Am Not Eloquent

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 4:1-15 Worship song: He'll Make a Way   Meditation:      When God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he expressed to God his lack of eloquence and speech impairment. God assures Moses that he will put words in his mouth, but even after being assured, Moses still hesitated. God emphasizes his control and supreme power over humanity with the unwavering ability to intervene and resolve speech, vision, and hearing impairment. Like Moses, many of us often focus on our limitations instead of the God who specializes in turning impossibilities into realities. We have the tendency to seek validation, and affirmation from those around us, but we must remember that not everything we do needs justification from others.       Moses, on his first mission, thought it was not accomplished because the remarks of the Israelites were unfavorable. Remember, if God declares something is possible, it is wise...

Jesus Christ To the Rescue

Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 5 Worship Song: Rescue   Meditation:      The struggles of life can be overwhelming at times and leave behind a trail of bittersweet memories. Heartaches, broken pieces, shattered dreams, and ruined lives are the reasons Christ died on Calvary's cross. Jesus Christ came to rescue sinners from the bondage of our iniquities and the stronghold of our captors and to bring light to a dark world. He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.       Jesus Christ came not to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. He chose to die and endured chastisement to demonstrate his love for sinners. He came to seek and save the lost, to preach repentance to sinners, to serve, to fulfill the laws and the prophets, and to bring assurance to a hopeless world. Jesus came to rescue us, so let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus Christ has left His peace with ...

Signs of The Time

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 24 Worship song: Hymn of Heaven   Meditation:      For thousands of years, believers in Jesus Christ have eagerly anticipated his second coming. Even though none of us know the exact hour or the day of his return, there is evidence that proves we are living in the last days. A careful examination of the scripture reveals that some prophecies regarding his return are already fulfilled and are actively being fulfilled in our time. The rapid advancement of technology and its usefulness have created an opportunity for spreading the gospel across various media platforms, reaching nations that previously lacked access to His word.       We are witnessing an increase in conflicts among nations, with wars and escalating tensions leading to rumors of war in various regions. Reports of diseases, earthquakes, and famines in diverse places abound. The love of many has waxed cold, and false prophets are on the ...

The Roller Coaster Ride

Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Psalm 30 Worship Song: Hallelujah Train  Me ditation:      Are you facing unexpected challenges? Is everything you anticipated to accomplish working according to how you fathom it? Are you hoping to achieve the best life has to offer? We all have great expectations and want to reach the pinnacle of life, but to get there we have to learn from experience and move beyond our mistakes and failures. Life is like a roller coaster with many ups and downs, highs and lows, twists and turns, hindrances, and challenges.       Life has its moments when everything is booming and a time when everything is falling apart. Life is like a suspense movie or untold story; you cannot predict the next scene, but move forward with gratitude, believing that the next episode of your journey will pave the way and lead you closer to your destiny. Believe that the faithful promise-keeping God will always make a way through the wildern...
