'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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
