Morning Manna – Be Content with Your Blessings – April 2, 2025

You Cannot Serve God and Riches
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Matthew 6:24

Trusting God includes believing that He will keep His promises to supply all of our needs.

A discontented heart craving for possessions separates us from God because we do not live by the righteous standard of, “God, let Your will be done.”

When we assume the role of Self-Provider, we lose our desire to receive and wait for God’s blessings. Sadly, our heart once filled with gratitude is replaced with a spirit of greed and selfishness. Practicing the habits of unbelievers leads us to commit their sins of the Pride of Life.

From chasing wealth and tangible things, we mismanage and waste our God-given resources. Enslavement to money-lenders causes us to lose our joy and laughter. Most importantly, we become dissatisfied with God’s provisions, and our focus is redirected from receiving our reward of eternal life to pursuing our best earthly life.

The mindset of “Purchasing Power” also results in possessing a spirit of independence and causes us to lose our love and appreciation for Yahweh Yireh, God, Our Provider.

“But godliness with contentment is great gain.” – 1 Timothy 1:6

To find satisfaction in what we have and to trust in God’s provisions creates a healthy spiritual dependence on God allowing us to enjoy His gifts of peace, joy, and happiness. No debt, no worries!

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19, ESV).

Be grateful. Be content. Stop spending. Get rid of debt, and Trust God.

Lord God, we ask for forgiveness of practicing the sin of self-gratification. Thank You for Your endless provisions and sustaining our lives. In Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray, Amen.

Morning Manna – Running the Christian Race – March 31, 2025

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” -1 Corinthians 9:24

The key to living a Christ-centered, Faith-based, and self-disciplined life is to consecrate oneself every day to obey Christ. Through personal worship, we commit ourselves to a life of discipleship by following Jesus instead of our desires. Prayer connects us to Jesus, the Source of Strength who is also our Heavenly Intercessor.

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). Jesus Christ is the Mediator between God and humanity who receives and answers our prayers and cries for help.

The Holy Spirit intervenes by taking our prayers to Christ. He empowers us with Jesus’ strength to accomplish our daily tasks. The Spirit of Truth also gives us the spiritual wisdom to recognize Truth and error, covert temptations, and guides us to choose a life of right-doing. The Holy Spirit speaks through our thoughts and our conscience, giving us Perfect Solutions that lead to victorious outcomes.

All of Heaven is committed to caring for and empowering the righteous. Our part in The Plan of Redemption is to use our faith to totally depend on our Lord and Savior. Surrender invites Christ to guide and keep us on the Path of Righteousness by giving us the wisdom and strength to live as God has commanded, “Be holy, for I AM Holy” (1 Peter 1:16).

Lord God, we pray for the wisdom and strength to persevere in our spiritual journey. Thank you for being our Savior, Intercessor, and Source of Strength. We ask this prayer in the Righteous Name of Jesus, Amen.

Morning Manna – Victory Comes from Seeking God

Sabbath Devotional – March 29,2025

Glorifying and honoring God is demonstrated by putting Him first. Being aware of God’s Presence requires that we separate ourselves and meditate daily on His Goodness through meaningful worship. When our gift of time is used to spend quality time in prayer and Bible study, we view life through spiritual eyes with wisdom and discernment.

The believer’s life is one of purpose, to be spiritually transformed which requires a journey of trials and hardships. Despite our circumstances, from placing our faith and trust in God, we receive Christ’s strength through the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of anxiety and worry, we possess the courage and perseverance to keep moving forward.

Although each believer’s earthly journey is unique, every path is God-designed to produce the spiritual growth and transformation required to receive the reward of eternal life. Our confidence is based on God’s Faithfulness and His promises.

Faith is believing God’s love never ceases and He always knows what is best! Through surrender and obedience, each day, we consecrate ourselves to God. The willingness to place our lives in our Heavenly Father’s hands gives us the joyful expectation of always receiving the blessings of victorious outcomes. Peace and Blessings.

Thank You God for your ever-present love and faithfulness. In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.
