 'But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin' ( 1 John 1:7).

Walking in the light helps us to see clearly the way God sees things and to share His values. We will seek to live under the  controlling desire for God  instead of the world. You see, once we were in darkness, walking in the ways of the world. But Jesus called us out of that darkness of sin and death, into His marvellous light. In accepting Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, we place our faith in Him and His victory over sin and death at the cross; thereby been granted access to the throne room of God's grace. We are told to 'walk in the light,' the light of God's truth - His living Word which testify of Christ, the light of the world. When we walk in the light it brings our life into alignment with the Word of God. It brings a condition of fellowship not only with God but with other believers. It's also a cleansing from our sin by the blood of Jesus. It is important for us to be desirous of abiding in Christ and walking in His love, because we will continue to experience His saving grace, made possible by His shed blood as an atonement for our sin; and fellowship with God. The more time we spend with Jesus, the more like Him we become. We are transformed into His likeness as we continue to walk in the light of His truth and His righteousness. Christ wants us to walk in the light as He is in the light. That is, living in accordance with His perfect life and character, so we might be like Him and enjoy sweet fellowship with our heavenly Father and with each other. Choose today, to walk and to continue to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light, and to have a desire to have a more intimate fellowship with Him.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 '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 ...
