MGD: No Suggestion Box

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

Shalom beloved, you are warmly welcome to Radio ACI today

for a morning glory devotion. The theme for today's devotion

is No Suggestion Box, written by Pastor and Mrs. Amo

Apia of Harvest Chapel International, Kumasi. Let us kindly share

a word of prayer. Father, thank you for the privilege

to hear your word. Open up our hearts to receive

your word and lighten up our day with your word

in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Let us kindly take our

confession from Joshua 1, verse 8. Joshua 1, verse 8.

Joshua 1:8 Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of

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.

No Suggestion Box No Suggestion Box A script written by

Pastor and Mrs. Amo Appiah Our scripture reading will be

taken from Psalm 19 verse 7 to 11. Psalm 19

Psalms 19:7–11 Psalms 19:7–11

verse 7 to 11. Let us hear the word of

the Lord. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting

the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making

wise the simple. The statutes of the law are right,

rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure,

enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean,

enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are true and

righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea,

than much fine gold. Sweeter also than any and any comb. Moreover,

By them your servant is warned, and in keeping them

there is great reward. The Lord add his blessing to

the reading and hearing of his word. Thanks be to God.

No Suggestion Box Most of us would never dare to

speak it aloud. But in our private moments, we often

treat the Lord Jesus as though he ran a suggestion box.

We love the promise of his mercy. We welcome his

comfort when life hurts and we gladly receive his forgiveness

when guilt weighs heavy on our conscience. But when his

word speaks into our money, our speech, our private habits

or our temper, our hearts tend to pull back. We

treat his commandments as helpful suggestions to consider if it

fits our plans, rather than the sovereign call of our king.

Yet God will never be a mere advisor. He is

the Lord of glory. And he refuses to share the

throne of your heart with anyone else, least of all yourself.

David understood this. and did not see God's word as

a heavy chain around his neck. He saw it as

a sweet life-giving truth. Think back to the children of Israel.

God did not meet them in Egyptian bondage and give

them a list of rules to earn their freedom. No,

he broke their chains first. He parted the sea, brought

them out by his mighty hand, and then led them

to Mount Sinai. He gave them his law because they

were already his chosen children. The law was not the

prize of their rescue. It was the safe path for

their new life. Our Father made us. He understands how

the heart works. And he knows the traps that ruin

a life far better than we do. His boundaries are

not meant to rob us of our joy, but to

preserve our souls from destruction. Let us lay down our

small kingdoms today and stop treating the living word of

God as a suggestion box. When we bow our hearts

before King Jesus, we will not lose our freedom, but

rather find rest for our souls. Amen. Let us kindly

take our memory verse for today from Psalm 19 verse 7.

Psalms 19:7

Psalm 19 verse 7 reading from the New King James Version.

Psalms 19:7

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. Amen.

Let us kindly share a word of prayer. Father, we

thank you for your word that has come to us

this morning. We pray that you open up our hearts

to walk with you, to embrace your word, O God,

as law in our lives. In Jesus' name. Amen. God

bless you for staying with us to the end. Remember

that when we bow our hearts before King Jesus, we

will not lose our freedom but rather find rest for

our souls. Amen. You still want to stay connected to
