'But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:19).

Many of us at times confuse our 'needs' with our 'wants'. However, what we 'need' and what we 'want' are not always the same thing. A need is something you have to have to survive and a want is simply the desire for something. God is our provider and whatever resources He has given us, must be used according to His purposes, in order for blessing to come. When we allow our needs to be met through Christ, the one who made and control all things; we will never lack. When we trust God to provide our true needs - not materialistic; we will not be consumed by worry, anxieties and worldly desires regardless of our circumstances. We will be confident that God will bless us. When we rely on the power of Christ, we will be content and be filled with God's peace as we seek to have a good relationship with each other. God knows our daily needs before we even asked him and will supply them generously to us according to His riches in glory. Why? Because we are in Christ, and by our faith in Him, we become God's children. As a result, our gracious God promised to supply all our needs. It therefore behoves us to give God thanks and glorify Him for all his abundant supplies. Let us be not anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let our request be known to God (Philippians 4:6). God has given us a promise of future grace that He, our God will supply every need of ours according to  his riches in glory in Christ, His Son. Let us live in faith of this promise of future grace. God doesn't want us to worry about our future, He has that all sorted. He will supply what is necessary for your spiritual and physical needs, so just trust Him and keep being generous with the little you have. Don't give up on God because you feel your physical needs are not met. If you do so, you give up on any chance of having your real needs ever met. Be a generous giver in the whatever you have and God will supply your every need more abundantly.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 '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...
