'The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death' (1 Corinthians 15:26).

When Adam and Eve sinned it resulted into physical death for the entire human race. For when one is born, he is born in sin and shaped in iniquity, in need of a Saviour. It was only Jesus, the Son of God, that could come and save us from the curse of death and sin, and give us the hope of eternal life. Without the
resurrection of the body, Christ's sacrificial work on the cross would have been incomplete. It is Christ's resurrection that guarantees us resurrection to life; for all who believe on Him. It is Christ who shed His precious, lifegiving blood to pay for our sin. He arose from the grave, in His physical body so we might also be raised from the dead in our physical body before we are transformed from mortal to immortality, on His returns. And death the last enemy shall be destroyed. When we are grounded and rooted in Christ, we can rejoice and be glad because we know Christ will defeat death, his final enemy. Christ has already began that process of defeating death when He was resurrected, and will continue with the resurrection of His people who believe in Him; it will then become final when death is no more. Revelation 21:4  tell us that God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes and there shall be no more death... victory over death and sin will be complete. We have hope of that blessed day, so let us rejoice and be glad we have such a Redeemer as Christ. His love for us is immeasurable, it is so deep and wide and high; we cannot comprehend. Let us hold steadfast to Christ and cultivate a Christlike attitude throughout our christian journey, so we can make it into the kingdom of heaven. Have faith, and believe!

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 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...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
