 'Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the word of knowledge' (Proverbs 23:12).

God has placed His laws in our hearts that we may know Him, the only true God. He has instructed us through His Word, which is a light unto our path and a lamp to our feet. He instructs us of things pertaining to His Son, Jesus Christ and His salvation, in which He has freely given to us. We must seek to apply our hearts unto His instruction persistently and earnestly. We should allow the Holy Spirit to graciously open our hearts and enlighten us, as we fix our ears attentively to listen and treasure those instructions, that may in the future influence our life. The Passage of Scripture, is suggesting that we not only should learn what God has instructed us to do but to apply our heart to those instructions. In so doing we will have a knowledge of God. This knowledge we have of God is infinitely valuable. Why?  "This is life eternal, to know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent"
(John 17:3). God is always ready to communicate with us and if we truly understand this, we will give Him our full attention and listen wholeheartedly to what He wants us to do. We must seek to have the right attitude in listening to God, and  we will be bless for doing so. We should be eager to hear, anxious to know more about God and His Word,  hungered for His truth and be illuminated by His light. God seeks to communicate to us through His Word, through Bible study, through prayer, through others who are spiritually mature. It is our responsibility to listen and apply His Word and instructions to our heart. Today, seek to incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding (Proverbs 2:2).

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...

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...
