 'Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord' (Lamentations 3:40).

It is important for each one of us to develop an intimate relationship with God. This kind of relationship comes from spending quality time with God, by daily studying His Word; by meditating and reflecting on His Word; by praying and giving thanks. The prophet Jeremiah called Israel to pray. He wanted them to take a good look at the way they were living and turn again to God. We too are called to do the same. We need to ask God to reveal to us the areas of our life that need to change. We say we love God but our actions prove out whether this is true or not. We are call to search our hearts and examine our ways. We must then in confession and repentance turn again to God. Let us search our ways and try them by the Word of God,  the standard of our faith and practice. Let us seek to try our thoughts, words and our deeds by the law of God; which is holy, just and good. Let us search and examine our sinful ways, acknowledge our sins and our iniquities; asking God to pardon us and help us to turn  to Him and His ways. He will graciously receive us and be ready to forgive and pardon us. What a wonderful God we serve! His love knows no end, it is everlasting. Let us search after a knowledge of our Saviour and Lord and His grace. The One who saves us by His grace wants us to turn afresh to Him. We ought to be conformed to His sufferings and death by the renewal of our minds.  Let us be aware of our spiritual condition; and be careful of self-deception and self-righteousness, which can lead us down the wrong path and end in sorrow. Therefore, aspire to live a God-centred way of life that will last forever.

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 ...
