Devotional - 13th July 2020

'I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace Him that is afar off, and him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him' (Isaiah 57:19).

"The fruit of the lips" is sacrifice of praise to God (Hebrews 13:15); giving Him praise and Thanksgiving continuously. We are to give God, our Creator, true praise at all times, because He is worthy of it. This fruit that God created is the good fruit, the true fruit that is worth gathering. Christ's lips speak peace and gives peace to all who believes.  He is our peace; as the Peacemaker he promises us His peace. He promised to give it, and  leave it with His disciples, when they have tribulation in the world. He wants the same for us! Just as the Apostles were given the mandate to preach the gospel first to the Jews that was near, (but afar off from God) and then to the Gentiles that were afar off in distance, but also from God; we too are called to bring the Gospel of Peace  to the world, near and far. God promises to heal his people, even though He knew their ways. By filling the earth with the message of peace, we too will experience that spiritual peace in our hearts. It is when we recognised or become conscious of our true condition, where the flesh is warring against the spirit that we are able to cry, "Peace, peace." God answered and said, "I have got this; I have  healed you, there is no need to worry." When you have been with Christ and has seen Him by faith, placing your trust in Him will enable you to sing, "Peace, peace." In your home, place of work,  place of worship, and your community you will exhibit that quiet spirit of "Peace, peace." God call us to repentance, as we come to Him, He promises to forgive us of our sins and heal us. "The fruit of the lips" which God created, will cause us to hear the tidings of peace, that will lead us to be filled with joy. Have you ever feel "afar off" from God? How was that experience? And did that experience led you nearer to God? As you reflect on these questions, may God's peace rest upon you, as you continue to give Him your sacrifice of praise.

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 ...
