Devotional - 15th May 2020

'We praise you, God, we praise you, for Your name is near, people tell of Your wonderful deeds' (Psalm 75:1).

How can we praise God when things look bleak or in times of crisis? It is always easy to praise God and give Him thanks when things are good; when our love ones who are sick has recovered; our jobs are secured and our finances are great. But what about when things are not going as we planned, or want them to go? Can we still praise God? Of course we can. We must praise God at all times, good or bad. We must do so not  because of what He has done for us, but because of who He is .We must love to dwell on the precious name of Jesus and praise God. We need to celebrate Him and give Him thank for His unfailing love, His compassion, His faithfulness, His mercy, His peace, for Calvary, and His wonderous works. We need to give God thanks and praise always! Call out to Him in praise because He is near, to deliver us. He is Sovereign and we should praise His Sovereignty. God is at hand to answer our prayers and do wonders  - near is His name. Let gratitude for God spring up into our hearts for His infinite wisdom and goodness. Know that God is with you in your darkest days and is a very present help in trouble. Be encouraged today, reflect on the things God has done for you and look at nature and up in the sky and see how they proclaim who God is. Isaiah 55:10) says that, even the mountains and the hills will break forth with singing and the trees will clap their hands. How about you? Will you give God continuous praise?

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 '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...
