'The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary...' (Isaiah 50:4).

All around us we see people suffering; people are lonely, worried, perplexed, depressed, in a state of confusion, having  mental health issues, indebtedness; which are due to adverse circumstances. Let us search out these suffering ones and speak a word of comfort to their hearts. There are people struggling from poverty, having to labour hard for very low wages, unable to provide the necessities of life for themselves and their families. They see  no way out or hope of a better future, and are carrying these heavy burdens without support. We need to reach out and sympathise with them through these trying times - through their heartaches and disappointments; with compassion, seek to help them where we possible can or where we can point them in the right direction for help. In this time of pandemic, where we are in lockdown, many have lost their jobs; their businesses; loved ones; their finances in shambles; some have lost hope. By reaching out with genuine concern and compassion, it will open up a way to help them. Then you're able to speak to them of God's promises, praying with them and inspire them with hope. God has instructed us to encourage one another, to bring hope to the afflicted and sorrowful; to those who are also weary  of sin and looking for change, but do not know how. Christ himself came to set us free from the burden of sin, and to suffer at a high cost for us - His life. He never shrink from it, because He knows that His cause will triumph at last. So let us speak a word in season to help those who are sin sick and weary. Let us speak as Jesus would speak and act as He would act; because He is our example to follow. We too might be going through similar circumstances that may cause us distress, disappointment, but our hope is in Christ Jesus who gives us the assurance to trust God. However, God needs us to help others have the blessed hope in Him, so they too can experience His love. We all need Jesus, He is our only hope of a better life and eternity.

Have a wonderful day and a bless 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...

'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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
