 'Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise' (Psalm 98:4).

We are called to worship the Lord who is our Saviour and Judge, in response to what He has done for us. To worship Him for His greatness in song and music. To celebrate His goodness, we are called to sing, shout for joy, play instruments, and applaud Him. When you experience God and what He has done for you, you can't but lift up your voice and praise Him. We have a Saviour who has been touched by our infirmities and can relate to what we are going through because He had been through it all. We have to give Him praise! When you praise, lift up your voice with strength as you rejoice and sing praises unto Him. Lift up your heart to praise and magnify the God of your salvation, for His great and marvellous works. How can we praise the Lord? We must praise in in our words; in our actions; in our thoughts; praise Him in our works; and praise Him in our life.  Praises to God is a lifestyle, it must always be apart of our life. We praise the Lord because He is worthy of it. We shouldn't sing half-heartedly in our praise to God, but with everything within us. For those of us who loves sports; whether it be tennis, football, Athletics etc., when our team is winning we celebrate and sing and make noise. We get excited about so many things in this world. Why not get excited with Christ, the One who purchased eternal life for you? It is He who gave His life at Calvary for ours, who shed His precious blood to cleanse us from our unrighteousness and to save us. We must be  excited about Him; when we speak of Him, when we think of Him. We ought to give Him praise and adoration all the days of our lives. Aren't you glad Jesus died for you, and is coming back to take you home with Him forever? Let us therefore extol the name of Jesus and give honour and glory to Him. He has freed us from the burden of sin; with His power He created us, with His blood He redeemed us and sanctified us. Let us praise Him in every situation and trust Him. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

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...
