 '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 🌹🌹

 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 ...
