 'For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not' (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

When God created man we were inherently good, until sin came into the world by the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Because of their sins, all of mankind have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We all have natural tendencies to sin. It is only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came and live on this earth, was perfectly just, and went about doing good and never sinned. We can have the character of being a just person by the will of God and may even do good works but will always sin. When we accept Christ by faith and  become a new creature in Him, we are quickened by His spirit and become righteous through His own righteousness and is made good by the grace of God. Also in Christ we are made perfect! Let us not be self-righteous before God, thinking we are without sin because we do good and is considered just. But let us seek to acquire wisdom from above that will deliver us from such sin, and point us to the Saviour, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. We must not follow blindly others who can't help us spiritually, but seek to take every opportunity to study the Word of God for ourselves, to meet with and surround ourselves with spiritual mature and sound people who will help us grow. Let us keep before us, that there is not a man upon the earth, however just and good he may be, that will not  commit sin. With that in mind, let us watch and pray and continue to put our trust in the Lord, who has the power to keep us from sinning and to help us when we do. Let us seek refuge in God, the One who can make us just and good and be without sin. Remember, He came to earth and show us how, so let us follow in His footsteps as we look to Him who is able.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 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 ...
