'Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else' (Isaiah 45:22).

As sinners we are frail and helpless and cannot help ourselves. Our only help comes from the Lord, our Creator. We cannot save ourselves either; it is only through the blood of Jesus, as we look to Him the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Scripture says, "Look unto me." In other words, direct your attention to Me, the One who can save you. For I am God, listen to me! I am God and there is none else. God is merciful, kind, forgiving, compassionate,  and His love has no end. We can therefore be confident that He can save us; and trust in His amazing grace. We don't even deserve His love and His mercy, but His love covers us. Those who look to Him for salvation will be saved. Why? Because He is God and there is none like him. Isaiah 40: 28 says, "Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding." He is our infinite God who is never weary of hearing from us.
After Israel fail to be the light to the Gentiles and rejected the Messiah, God called the gentile nation to come to Him for salvation. All they had to do was believe and confess Jesus His Son, as their Lord and Saviour. Through the prophet Isaiah, God appealed to them to look to Him and be saved, because He is God and there is no other. God is inviting us all to do likewise and come to Him and be saved. He is calling us to spread the gospel of salvation to all ends of the earth to those who are dead to sin, that they may turn to God and be save. Let us be intentional in spreading the everlasting gospel with great urgency, that men, women and children can be saved from sin. So when Jesus returns we can go home with him and be with Him forever.

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...

 'And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah' (Exodus 15:23). The Isralites were on a high after the Red Sea experience and their deliverance from slavery in Egypt and Pharaoh's army. The Lord led them this way become He wanted them to realise that He was their God, their Deliverer, and their Protector. The people  murmured against Moses and God, but the Lord showed them that He was still willing to guide and protect them and be their Healer, if they would look to Him. When they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters because they were bitter, so they murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink" (verse 24)? Sometimes  things happened to us in life, and we become very bitter and callous. It may be family issues; a friendship gone sour; conflicts; marriage broken down; sickness or even the death of a love one. But we need to guard against bitterness cree...
