-
Shalon Beloved, you are welcome to today's Morning Glory Devotion.
-
We are Pastor in diginess kills him from the Harvest
-
Chapel International Daniamko Marcy, and we are delighted to be
-
bringing you another episode of our Morning Glory devotion. Let
-
us kindly share a word of prayer. Our heavely Father,
-
we thank you for this wonderful privilege given to us
-
to come and hear your word. We pray that Lord
-
you open our hearts and grant us the nourishments that
-
only can come from your word in Jesu's name. Pray
-
with thanksgiving. Amen, let us kindly take our confession for today.
-
Our confession is taken from josh Wat Chapter one the
-
verse eight. Josh Wat Chapter one, the verse eight. This
-
book of the Law shall not depart from my mouth,
-
but I shall meditate in it day and night, that
-
I may observe to do according to all that is
-
written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,
-
and then I will have good success. Amen. Today's message
-
is titled A Balanced Diet. A Balanced Diet written by
-
Miss Amanda Baidu. Our scripture readings shall be taken from
-
Luk chapter two, the verse fifty two, and Hebrews Chapter five,
-
the verse twelve to fourteen. Look chapter two, the verse
-
fifty two and Hebrews Chapter five, the verse twelve to fourteen.
-
I will be reading from the New King James version.
-
Look chapter two the verse fifty two, and Jesus increased
-
in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Amen.
-
Hebrews chapter five, the verse twelve to fourteen. For though
-
by this time you ought to be teachers, you need
-
some one to teach you again the first principles of
-
the oracles of God. And you have come to need
-
milk and not solid food. For every one who partakes
-
only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness,
-
for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to
-
those who are of full age, that is, those who,
-
by reason of use, have their senses exercised to descend
-
both good and evil. The Lord adds his blessings to
-
the reading and hearing of this word. Thanks be to God. Amen.
-
A balanced diet, A balanced diet. Beloved, we have a
-
duty to grow in the Lord as his children, and
-
we can only grow when we feed well. The bonn
-
again experience is an entry point into the Kingdom of
-
God and an entry points to all the things God
-
has in store for us. When we get born again,
-
we are adopted into the family of God and become
-
His children. After receiving the Seal of the Holy Spirit.
-
We have a responsibility to grow in the faith by
-
feeding the right, and God gives us access to ingredients
-
which are designed to help us grow. These resources include
-
studying the Word, prayer, obeying the promptings of the Holy Spirit,
-
fasten fellowship in Word, believers given, serving others, and many more.
-
And all these are ingredients required to help us grow. Beloved,
-
we cannot pick and choose what we want to feed on.
-
We must have a balanced diet of all these ingredients
-
if we want to grow as healthy believers. A believer
-
who prays and does not read a word will suffer
-
standard growth. Similarly, a believer who only feeds on the
-
Word but doesn't pray or go to church will suffer luck. Beloved,
-
God has designed all these elements in our nutrition to
-
help us grow and become strong in spirit, just like Jesus.
-
They are all important, and therefore we must attend to
-
all of them. By the help of the Holy Spirit.
-
Feeding on a balanced die of all these ingredients will
-
build up our faith and sharpen our service to the Lord.
-
So let us examine ourselves. Are we feeling well? Are
-
we lacking in certain areas of our growth? Are we
-
neglecting prayer or fasting, or fellowship or obedience. Let us
-
assess our nutrition and make sure we are eating a
-
balance dite so that we can grow and become strong
-
and healthy in the Lord. Amen, let us kindly take
-
our memory verse for today. Our memory verse for today
-
is taken from Second Picture, Chapter one, the Best ten
-
two Peter Chapter one, the West ten. I will be
-
reading from the New King James version. Therefore, Brethren, be
-
even more diligent to make your call an election shore,
-
for if you do these things, you will never stumble. Therefore, Brethren,
-
be even more diligence to make your call an election shore,
-
for if you do these things, you will never stumble. Amen,
-
let us kind of share a word of prayer. Our
-
heavily Father, We thank you for the rich resources you
-
have provided for our spiritual growth. We admit that there
-
are times we have neglected certain areas of our work
-
with you. We have been picking and choosing only what
-
is comfortable. Please grant us the grace and the discipline
-
by your Holy Spirit to maintain a balanced spiritual diet.
-
Help us to dedicate ourselves deeply to prayer, to steady
-
your word, to fasting, to fellowship, and seven, so that
-
we may grow to become strong and healthy believers in
-
our faith, just like Jesus. In Jesus' might name, we pray. Amen, Beloved,
-
Always remember that to grow into healthy and mature believers,
-
we cannot pick and choose our spiritual food. We must
-
discipline ourselves to take all the ingredients God will have
-
us take. Amen. Thank you so much for being a
-
part of today's Morning Glory Devotion. We look forward to
-
you joining us again for another episode of our Morning
-
Glory Devotion by God's grace tomorrow. At the same time,
