Better Awaits You

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21 Praise song: Jerusalem   Meditation:      This world is unpredictable and full of trials, sadness, and disappointment; nevertheless, we hold onto the divine promise of a restored life through our Lord. A time is coming when suffering will cease, and God will bring an end to all sorrow, sickness, and death. While we look forward to the future, our focus should be on serving God fully and living his way. This life is a journey, not our final destination. For those who place their trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is assured. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive when he shall return shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and be with him forever.       As we serve the Lord with gladness, and worship Him in spirit and truth, let us be prepared to meet Him. If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, do...

Not Satisfied with The Husk

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Worship Song: Satisfied   Meditation:      The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his reality, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, yet he later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness. Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices instead of embracing the divine grand cuisine that the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the Almighty Father stands ready to welcome you home? God values you more than any career or material gain.       The life you crave, one of true purpose, is found with Christ. There is immense joy in heaven whenever someone decides to leave a life of sin behind. If you are weary of st...

A Thirst for Righteousness

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 6:11-23 Worship song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin   Meditation:      At the beginning of the chapter, Apostle Paul refuted the misconception that salvation is achieved through grace by faith. Based on his rebuttal, it is clear that the saints were disputing about sin, salvation, law, and grace. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. Although the grace of God abounds with those who yield to righteousness, and his grace is greater than all our sins, we should not remain as servants to sin. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.       Before, you were enslaved to sin, and righteousness was not a factor in your life. Now, freed from sin, you have become servants to God. Should the believers who obeyed from the heart the doctrine that was delivered to us continue to yield our members to ungodliness? Shall...

Blessed Are the Meek

Image
Good morning   Scripture reading: Matthew 5:4 Worship song: Let the Peace of God Reign   Meditation:      It is difficult to maintain your composure and remain calm, gentle, and peaceful among those who display hostile and arrogant behavior. Still, we must possess the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit, which serve as evidence to prove that we are truly children of God. While Jesus sat with the multitude and his disciples, he taught them about the beatitudes and the reward of possessing such qualities. One of the beatitudes that are important in the life of a child of God is having the spirit of meekness. Meekness is an attribute of the Savior that is desperately needed today. It is a spiritual gift obtained through the Holy Spirit.       Those who possess such qualities have a humble attitude that expresses wisdom, self-control, patience, and a calmness that is not easily provoked. Being meek does not mean you are a coward, it s...

Known by Your Fruits

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 5: 22-26 Worship song: Bear Fruit   Meditation:      Over 2,000 different kinds of fruit exist globally, yet the average Western diet uses only about 10% of them. In a spiritual context, we recognize two significant types of fruit: natural fruits and the fruits of the Spirit. The nine fruits of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in Galatians 5, represent the essential character traits that should guide a believer. The qualities one displays serve as a reflection of their genuine faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. As noted in Matthew 7, just as a tree produces fruit according to its nature, a person's actions reflect their fundamental character.       What kind of fruit are you producing? How can we cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our lives? These spiritual fruits are not a reward for our personal accomplishment but a gift we receive through our relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. We canno...

Living, Yet You Are Spiritually Dead

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 6 Praise song: Jesus, He Rescued Me   Meditation:      You might ask, 'How can I be living, but dead?' Living a life apart from Christ means being in a spiritually dead condition. Anyone who has not embraced Jesus is in a condition of spiritual brokenness and exists apart from God's grace. This ultimately leads to damnation and separation from God if not reconciled. Spiritual death is the separation of the soul from God. The deepest and most meaningful purpose in life is found by committing one's life to Jesus Christ, for without Him, we are hopeless. If you are at a state where you are dead in your trespasses and sin, and consumed by your sinful nature, God can redeem you.       The wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. When you decide to follow Jesus Christ, sin will no longer dominate your life. For those who accept Christ, a banquet table will be sprea...

The Warning

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 19: 22-26 Worship song: I Won't Go Back   Topic: The Warning God always warns before destroying a city or the wicked; He uses various methods to deliver these warnings, including prophets, spoken words, the Holy Spirit, angels, and other means to ensure people receive his message and have the opportunity to repent before facing destruction. The Bible provides multiple examples of God giving divine forewarnings. These include alerting Noah to the impending flood, dispatching the prophet Jonah to caution the wicked city of Nineveh, disclosing to Abraham his intention to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, and instructing Moses to deliver warnings to Pharaoh. God continues to issue warnings through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, visions, dreams, prophecy, and the Bible.       When you receive a warning, pay attention and do not look back; remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Move forwar...

The Restorer of The Broken

Image
Good morning. Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Worship song: Make Me Whole   Meditation:      Our society is equipped with a vast number of skilled professionals and technicians who provide specialized services in various areas. For example, plumbers are called upon for issues related to piping systems, electricians diagnose and repair electrical problems, auto mechanics perform vehicle maintenance and tests, and physicians attend to our medical and diagnostic needs. Not everyone needs these services, but we are all in need of divine intervention to maintain our physical, mental, and spiritual health.       We all need a Savior who provides the only way to be made right with a holy God, to receive forgiveness, and to have a life of true purpose. Due to our inherent sinful nature and desires, we constantly breach the fundamental principles and standards set by God. We are all sinners in need of God's grace. We need God's mercy...
