 'Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? (Lamentations 3:37).

God is the Creator of the universe. He spoke with  power and everything was done. He lovingly molded and fashioned man from the dust of the earth and breathe into man his breath, bringing life to him. God preserves and watches over the affairs of His world. He make judgement as our Judge, as a result of man been fallen. There is nothing that can come to pass without His command. If we think otherwise, we are denying His power and judgement. We can never understand the prerogatives of God, because He is God, and doeth whatsoever he pleaseth. He is wisdom and everything that takes place flows from His eternal and unchangeable counsel. God never changes, He is the same yesterday, today and forever more - the immutable God. Nothing is done in this world, that He doesn't see; even the evil surmising of men. All things that happen are because God allows them to. There is nothing that will come to pass if the command does come from God. Even when they seek to crucify Christ, He let them know it is only because God has allow it to happen, why it has happened. God watches and exercise care over the world, his eyes are everywhere. We turn to our own ways and change independently, but God is good, holy, just and righteous, who is not the author of evil. He allows things to happen at times for His glory. When we choose to disobey His commands, and do our own things there are consequences to pay, unless we turn to Him and repent of our sins. There is no wrong we have done, whether evil or good, that God doesn't know. He bring things to pass that He commands for His glory and for our eternal salvation. Our God alone is Sovereign and Ruler of all nations. Let us inquire of His holy word and study it, with the aid of the Holy Spirit; and be more open to the voice of God, excluding all other voices, that seek our attention. In God's Word is wisdom and assured protection. Let us therefore, not follow our own devices, intentions, speculations and theories; but Jesus as the Truth and the Way.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

'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...

 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...

 '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...
