 'Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken' (Jeremiah 13:15).

The Lord is saying to us Listen and pay attention to Him. We should not be haughty; or lift ourselves above others in thinking we are better than them, or even dare to lift ourselves against God. If we do we shall not prosper and there will be dire consequences.  Whenever God speaks to us, we have a choice to respond in pride or humility. We can choose to reject or resist Him or humble ourselves before Him. It is in our interest to choose to be humble, because humility is the first step to obedience. This is to say, we acknowledge we are nothing without God and ascribe to Him his due benevolence. God through the prophet Jeremiah had a message for Israel. He called them to pay close attention, not disregarding what God is saying by thinking it was unimportant. If they behave proudly and not hear the Lord, it would be to their own detriment. God is speaking to us today, through His Son, Jesus Christ. He is imploring us to Listen, hear and obey His Word; believe on His Son who saved and redeemed us with His blood, that we may live eternally. Let us not allow pride to hinder us from listening to God, but to take heed, lest we exalt ourselves against Him. When the word of God is presented to us, we should listen diligently and lay aside the heighten of our hearts and enlarging of the stomach; remembering it is not the messenger's word, but the word of God to us. Let us through the power of the Holy Spirit be open to receive God's word and act on it.

Have 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 ...
