 'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him' (John 3:36).

John the Baptist was the forerunner for Christ and bore witness that He was the Son of God, who takes away the sins of the world. All who believe  on Him, as the Son of God that came to save sinners, and accept His gift of salvation by faith, would not perish but have eternal life. Jesus has all power and authority given to him by the Father, to grant everlasting life to all who believe. We all have that choice to accept Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, and the teachings of the gospel of grace; or to reject  Him and all He stands for. For those who choose to reject and believe not that He is the Son of God, the wrath of God abides on him.  We who believe in Jesus, must obey Him because they both go together. That is, if you believe, then you will obey. It is by faith in Jesus that we believe He is the Son of God, then by our actions we become obedient. It is God who then works in our hearts, through the power of the Holy Spirit to sanctify and mature us in the likeness of Christ. It is very important to take the wrath of God seriously, for it is real and righteous. For those who disobey God by rejecting His Son, will experience His wrath. It is Jesus who absorbs and took our punishment at the Cross, so when we believe and accept Him we won't experience the second death at His  coming, but will have everlasting life. Those who makes excuse in the way of salvation, being indifference to the Gospel of Christ, full of pride and love sin will be excluded from heaven. We must see that what the world is offering, cannot ever compare to what God offers us. He is willing to bless us with His peace, His holiness and joy of immortal life. We just need to believe in His Son, as the one who is our Savior from sin. Today my brothers and sisters, friends and family; let us believe and accept Jesus, the Son of God and choose life and   be with Jesus for ever.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

 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...

 '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...
