I am genuinely happy to welcome everyone to the beautiful and fruitful month of September.
Key Verse: “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19).
Text — Ephesians 2:13-22
Message
Sometimes we come across young people who live like orphans despite having parents that are alive as a result of their rebellion. Such people lose the care, love, and shared happiness in a family and long to be reconciled to their families to enjoy the privileges of family members. However, no matter how they wish to be reconciled to their family members, the onus is on them to take practical steps to go back to the family.
God’s household means God’s family, where there is unfeigned love, mutual respect, forgiveness, sharing, and caring for one another. Many youths have left God’s household today in search of sinful pleasures and have made themselves spiritual orphans. Sinners can become part of God’s household through genuine repentance to be born again. Backsliders who left God’s family should return, and believers should remain in unbroken fellowship with God and with one another. If you are outside God’s family, the Lord is standing at the door of your heart, knocking and inviting you to His household.
Quote
Remain in unbroken fellowship with God
Challenge
I belong to the family of our ever-living Father.
Prayer for today
Lord, give me grace to abide in your house forever.
September is a wonderful time to reset our life and start fresh.

ReplyDeleteYou are welcome
DeleteMaravilhosas palavras Melody!!
ReplyDeleteEu fico abismada como existem tantas pessoas que tem família, que os pais os recebem de abraços abertos, mas eles preferem se afastar, a ser novamente integrados à Casa de Deus!
É uma excelente reflexão para o início de Setembro!!
Esse é um dos meus meses favoritos, porque aqui no Brasil, temos uma música popular brasileira que foi composta no final da ditadura da década de 70 . Essa canção fala que não podemos desanimar diante dos obstáculos e que precisamos prosseguir como coração grato.
Grata pelo lindo artigo!!
Desejo um lindo ingresso em setembro e uma semana maravilhosa!! :))))))
Thank you so much. It's amazing how a simple song can bring so much hope. I love that you shared that. I'm wishing you a truly wonderful and blessed September as well.
DeleteAmen, Melody!
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteQuizás por eso de volver a encontrarse con Dios el mes de septiembre tenemos, en mi zona de influencia por lo menos, un mes muy dedicado a la Virgen en día mas fuerte es el 8 pero hay en algún lugar otras fechas de celebración. También el día 15 se celebra la exaltación de la Cruz la segunda dentro del año la otra fecha es a primeros de mayo.
