'Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsaken thee' (Hebrews 13:5).

Every child of God should allow the Lord to direct their steps each day; in thoughts, in words and in deeds. As His Children, our conversation should always reflect Him, and must be pleasing to Him. When we seek the Lord with all our hearts, we will be content in every situation of life. Our conversation will be seasoned with grace, and will stamp out covetousness. There would be no room for envy nor greed or discontentment. In harbouring discontentment in our heart, we are saying, "God, we do not trust you." We would then murmured against God; not satisfied with who we are or what we have, and begin to envy others or become lovers of money. Covetousness and discontentment demonstrate a lack of faith in the Lord our God. Therefore, it is important that we shun this appearance of evil. This can be disguised in various forms, such as having the lust of the world; the lust of the flesh; and the pride of life. All of which displeased our Heavenly Father. When we trust God and His promises, we will be content with what we have; which will bring peace and calmness to our souls and will be very pleasing to God. Our reliance and trust in God to supply our needs and give us contentment can lead us to a life of holiness and purity in Christ, our Lord. God promises to bless us, to prosper and give us an expected end. He has also promised never to leave or forsake us, even when we face difficult battles, temptations and trials. Let us take hold of the promises of God and rejoice in Him and be content in what He has bless us with. Let us not allow the seed of discontent to be sown in our hearts; because our God is always ready and able to come to our aid, when we call upon 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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
