'And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace' (John 3:18).

"Righteousnes" - integrity, virtue, purity of life, uprightness, is the condition of being in a right relationship with God. Are you producing a righteous attitude in your daily life? We are living in a time when people around us are living in anxiety and fear; many simple do not know what to do. What is your attitude towards them? Is the peace of God shining in your heart so you can express God's love and elevate them? Are you a peacemaker? The Bible says in Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God." Christ is the Prince of peace and will give a  crown of righteousness to those that are peacemakers. Peace is one of the fruit of the Spirit. When we endeavour to make peace among ourselves and others, we hereby sow to ourselves in peace. In making peace;  in sowing the seed of peace, you will reap in a great harvest - a harvest of the fruit of righteousness. It therefore behoves us to not only love peace but make peace, so we can through the grace of God bring about peace in a chaotic world. It is important to note, that we cannot cultivate righteousness, while remaining selfish in our motivation towards peace. Our motivation should be to bring men and women into a peaceful relationship with God and with each other. Righteousness can really be sown by those practising it and pursuing what is good and acceptable by God; As a result our reward is peace. To be a peacemaker, you have to sow peace, and the fruit of peace is righteousness. If you are the centre of discord and sow uneasiness, that's the fruit of unrighteousness. It's as simple as that! Reflect today whether you are a peacemaker, sowing the fruit of righteousness or one who  sows uneasiness.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 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...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
