Every Knee Shall Bow

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 2:9-13 Worship song: Bow Down and Worship Him   Meditation:      God exalted Jesus above all, granting Him a name that demands universal recognition; all beings will eventually acknowledge Jesus' lordship, culminating in praise for God the Father. Bowing down before God and confessing that the Lord God Omnipotent reigns is ordained by God; it cannot be reversed. We were created to worship, glorify, and exalt God.       All people, rich or poor, Jews or Gentiles, regardless of their current belief, religion, gender, race, language, color, or culture, will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King, submitting to his authority and power. That day is coming, unlike any other day, when every atheist, unbeliever, idol worshipper, and everyone who refused to surrender to the sovereign Lord will acknowledge his authority, lordship, dominion, and sovereignty over all creation. As I live, says th...

They Laughed Him to Scorn

Image
Good morning Scripture: St. Luke 8:49-56 Worship song: He's able   Meditation:      When facing laughter or ridicule from others, remember not to be discouraged or offended. It is common for individuals not operating at the same spiritual understanding to mock or deride what they cannot discern or comprehend. Their reaction often stems from an inability to perceive the spiritual power at work in your life, not a failing on your part. Jesus Christ was laughed to scorn, not because he failed, but because the people did not know His potential; hence, they lacked faith in Him. Jesus never failed to deliver on His promises, but the people did not know Him, nor did they take the time to observe and learn from Him before ridiculing Him.       They did not know his capabilities or the power he possessed. When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader and declared that the child was not dead but sleeping, the mourners ceased lamenting and b...

Who is Your hero?

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11:32-39 Worship song: Calvary   Meditation: Each one of us identifies with a person we hold in high regard and seek to emulate. Perhaps your hero is a parent, teacher, leader, celebrity, politician, or someone in society whom you have not met, but who has had a profoundly influential impact on your life. A hero can be someone who risks their own life to save another or someone who fights for a good cause, distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, and strength, and making a positive difference in the world.       There is an exceptional hero whom I have come to deeply cherish, who is worthy of our utmost devotion and unwavering loyalty. Jesus Christ is our faithful hero. Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, willingly took on humanity's guilt and suffering, enduring a brutal crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice to redeem people from sin, offering them freedom and a path to righteousness and eternal life th...

Whatsoever Thou Sowest

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 6:1-10 Praise song: Sow mercy   Meditation:      Everything in life starts with a seed that reproduces to produce offspring of its specific type. God had designed all the different plants to yield produce after their own kind. A farmer anticipates a pea harvest from planting peas; similarly, we cultivate the results of our deeds. The quality of the harvest depends on the quality of the seeds sown, illustrating the principle that one will inevitably reap the consequences of their actions. There exist both good and bad seeds, so we should be cautious about sowing seeds, because whatever a man sows, he will one day reap.  They that sow to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but they that sow to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. The type or portion of what we sow determines the type or portion of what we harvest. Whatsoever we sow, we shall reap the reward. If you sow compassion, love,...

Escape Judgement

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Rev. 20:10-15 Worship song: The Old Rugged Cross   Meditation:      If you are thinking, like those who believe, that God will not destroy what he has created, you have the wrong concept. There will come a day when we will all stand before God to be judged according to our deeds. 6 2 Cor. 5:10 clearly states that we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.       In Matthew 13, Jesus Christ explained the parable of the tares to the disciples helping them understand what the kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus Christ declared what the kingdom of heaven is like. He told them that at the end of the world, angels will separate the wicked from among the just and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. God knows all we have done and will do ...

In Him Will I Trust

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Rely solely on the divine power of God, trusting Him completely....

Feeding on Cotton Candy

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 55:1-3 Worship song: Give Me You   Meditation:      Cotton candy, also known as fairy floss or candy floss, is a confection made primarily of sugar, artificial coloring, and mostly air. This type of candy has no nutritional value, yet its sweet, sugary, tasty flavor dissolves in your mouth, tempting individuals to consume more. Modern Christian teachings are frequently likened to spiritual cotton candy that is sweetly sugar-coated, entertaining, and appeals to one's intellect rather than genuinely convicts the conscience. These messages tend to be filled with self-satisfaction and gratification. They offer immediate pleasure but lack substantive spiritual value or nourishment for the soul.       The church is diverting from its fundamental principles, misinterpreting scriptures to justify worldly living, and ignoring sinful behavior for the sake of personal gain, such as wealth, recognition, and pow...

The Decree is Established

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 6:1-10 Worship song: Pray On   Meditation:      Having failed to identify any fault in Daniel's conduct, his envious rivals realized their accusations could only be based on his religious practices and loyalty to the law of his God. They conspired to create a decree prohibiting prayer to any deity other than the king, with the intent that Daniel's unwavering devotion and allegiance to his God would lead him to break the law and face punishment. Daniel knew the consequence of disobeying the king's order would result in severe punishment; nonetheless, this did not stop him from making supplication before God.       Aware that the decree had been signed, Daniel went to his house, entered his secret chamber where the windows faced Jerusalem, knelt down three times a day to pray, wholeheartedly giving thanks to God, just as he had always done. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord ...
