Devotional - 02nd July 2020

'And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the  tail; and thou shalt be above only,  and thou shalt not be beneath; If that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command  thee this day, to observe and to do them' (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Whatever you are going through right now, know that it is temporal and will pass. When you trust God with your past, your present and your future, expect great things to happen. In some circumstances it may get bad before it becomes better, but still trust God. God says he will make you the head, not the tail. When He makes you the head, you will be on top of your circumstances.  Remember that God is bigger than all your  problems! He will get you pass your past; you just have to hand it over to Jesus and believe he will. You may be in a dark and dismal place at this moment and do not know how to get out of it; Or you might have lost your job or business, as a result have reached rock bottom and it feels like there is no way out. You may have lost love ones and the pain is overwhelmingly hard to bear. God can change all that, if you give them all to Him, and keep on believing that you are above only and not beneath. God is the only one that can give you peace of mind and victory, causing you to triumph. If God says you are the head and not the tail; above only and not beneath; you have to believe Him. He wants only the best for you, to prosper you and for you to be in good health;  physically, spiritually and emotionally.Daniel was taken into captivity, but he didn't let that deter him from trusting God and walking in His ways. He didn't make his circumstances stop him from aligning his will to God's. In the end God made him the head and not the tail; He prospered him and made Him Head of States in Babylon to the King. God can do the same for you, if you trust His Word, obey His commandments and observe and live them daily.

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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 '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...
