 'He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?' (Job 9:4).

Who can we liken unto God? For there is no one like him. He is the only, and the All wise and All knowing God; His understanding surpasses everything and is infinite. He sees and knows everything we do and say,  even the depth of our thoughts are known to Him. God is mighty in strength as He is wise. He is Almighty and All- powerful; as feeble sinful beings we cannot contend and strive with Him; He will conquer us. Those who try to contend with God by hardening themself against Him, will surely not prosper. Satan wanted to rejoice in the days of Job's afflictions, as he tried to get him to curse and speak ill of God.  But, instead Job honoured and spoke highly of God; of His wisdom and strength. This demonstrates how much Satan wants to destroy God's people. We have to know our God and allow the Holy Spirit to direct our steps. We must be willing to obey God and trust him implicitly; we must know and understand who He is and what He has done for us. When the enemy comes we must be ready with the armour of God as our protection. Pharaoh hardened himself against God and we saw his demise, as well as many others in the Bible. Let us not make the same mistake, by obstinately hardening our hearts against God or to provoke Him unto our own destruction. There is no one who can ever contend with Him and prosper. He is a God of infinite love, wisdom and power and we cannot hide anything from him. He knows everything and can do everything. Let us in our awareness, seek to honour and obey the All- wise; Almighty; All- powerful God, whose wisdom and strength are infinite. To love God is to know him and knowing Him, we will trust, honour and obey him.  

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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
