Meditation, from a Christian perspective as explained by Bro. Eli Soriano, is not about emptying the mind or engaging in mystic practices, but rather about filling the heart and thoughts with the Word of God. Christians are encouraged to meditate day and night on God’s commandments, focusing deeply on His teachings and promises. Unlike worldly meditation that promotes detachment, Christian meditation brings believers closer to God, helping them to reflect on His goodness, correct their ways, and strengthen their faith. It’s a spiritual exercise rooted in scripture, not just a mental or physical routine.
MCGI highlights that true meditation should lead to transformation. It’s not just about thinking deeply but about allowing God's Word to take root in one’s life. Through consistent meditation, believers are more equipped to live righteously and resist sin. Bro. Eli also emphasizes that meditation is a form of worship it shows reverence, obedience, and love for God. As it is written in
Joshua 1:8 (KJV): "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
By making this a daily habit, Christians nurture a stronger relationship with God, gain spiritual clarity, and align their lives more closely with His will.
