'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God believe also in Me' (John 14:1).

Is your heart troubled? Is the things of this world making you weary? God's message to you today, is to let go of you burdens, cast your cares on Him, the One who loves and cares for you. Christ can be trusted to speak these words, "Let not your heart be troubled." Only He can do something about your troubled heart. He said it and we can believe it, because He is our Saviour, Redeemer and friend; who has gone to prepare a place for us so we can be with Him for ever. God wants to comfort our hearts, all we need to do is believe in Him. His disciples hearts were crushed, their hope that Jesus would be king and release them from the oppression of Rome was shattered; and with the realisation that their Saviour was going to be taken from them. They were confused and didn't know what to do. But Jesus comforted them with these words: "Let not your heart be troubled: Believe in God believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a table a place for you... I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you will be also." Christ is speaking the same words to us today. Will you trust Him? The disciples went to Calvary still perplexed and confused, as they watch their Saviour died on that cruel cross. But unspeakable joy came on resurrection morning. Jesus rose from the dead!! It is the same joy we should experience, knowing Christ's victory over death and the grave means we too will have victory when we believe in Him. We live in a world of stress and strain and the pressures of life can be overwhelming. But we have the precious assurance of Christ's victory and the hope it gives us. As He overcame the world and Satan, by faith we too will be overcomers in Him. This is our blessed hope. Praise God!

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...

'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...
