Devotional - 30th June 2020

'Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established' (Proverbs 16:3).

There is a saying that, "If you fail to plan you plan to fail." Almost everyone makes some sort of plan for their life. Whether they plan to get an education; plan to go an holiday; plan to get married; plan for their finances or their future; plan to accept Jesus and follow him, which is the best plan anyone could have. Why? Giving your life to Jesus is what will save you for eternity and bring success to you in life. People have plans; whether individually, collectively or corporately. The Scripture makes it clear, that we should commit to the Lord whatever it is we   intend to do and our plans will succeed. In other words, the key to our success is to allow God to be part of our plans. When you have a relationship with God, you want him to know what you're doing, you involve him in all your decisions. You humbly request for Him to align your plans with His plans. You invite the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you as you make these plans; as you commit them totally to the Lord. Today God is calling you to cooperate with him. He is saying I have a great plan for your life. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end." Allow God, through the power of the Holy Spirit to work in and through you to accomplish His purpose and will for your life. Why nor start with Him each day? Every day commit your plans to Him; have a conversation about your plans and invite Him to be part of it. Seek His wisdom, guidance and advice. God wants what is best for you. Making  plans are absolutely fine. You may do the planning for what you think you need, but it is God who determines your steps as to where He wants you to be. Knowing God's plan for you, through His Word and aligning your will to His, give you confidence and assurance of success and trust that God will work everything out for your good. Let us commit all to God, have confidence in His plan for us and trust that He knows what's best for us.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

Devotional - 03rd Jan 2022

 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...

 '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...
