Devotional - 12th May 2020

'Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed'  (James 1:6).

Christ says, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them" ( Mark 11:24).
We see here that prayer and faith goes together. You can't truly have one without the other. The things we ask God for must be what He has promised, and whatever we receive must be used in doing His will. God wants us to come to Him convinced both that He is the one true source of wisdom, and that the wisdom He gives us is trustworthy. He wants us to be ready to act upon faith. James said, the person who doubts God's wisdom, is like a wave in the wind storm being tossed every way. So anyone who comes to God with unsettled convictions and hopes, is liable to be driven about by every new feeling that may spring up in his mind. When you lack confidence in God's faithfulness you'll manifest a lack of consistency in your life. When we ask in faith we must believe that God hears our prayers; if we doubt it leads to unbelief.  Forms of unbelief includes, complaining about our circumstances,  blaming others, questioning God - power and ability; or trying to punish God because He didn't respond in the way we had requested - our contributions and prayers. We need to have confidence in God, to believe without a doubt that He will do as He has promised. If you seek wisdom ask with confidence,  that the Almighty God, the Creator of all that there is, has promised to give you wisdom. If our faith is as small as a mustard seed, we can remove mountains. Today, make your prayer life counts. Prayer with faith are powerful tools, so use them. God bids you come apart and commune with Him. Be still and know that He is God. Surrender your whole life to God as you put your trust in Him.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

Devotional - 14th July 2020

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
