'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 🌹🌹

 '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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
