 'And ye are Christ; and Christ is God's'
(1 Corinthians 3:23).

In seeking to know Christ,  we should have a knowledge of who He is. Christ is a person of the God head who pre-existed the world and by Him and through Him all things were created and sustained. When man sinned God the Father came in the Person of His Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bestow upon us eternal life. Christ is both eternal God and fully man. In that, He was born of a woman and of the Holy Spirit, which is a very unique and supernatural birth. He lived on earth and experience the trials, tests and temptations we seem to face today, yet He was sinless. He taught his disciples and his people how to live, as he ministered to them daily. He was ever obedient to the Father, even unto death - the death of the cross. He resurrected, ascended to heaven and was highly exalted of God who gave him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord. Christ is now interceding on our behalf as our High Priest and our Judge and will one day come back as our glorified King to vindicate His people who trusted, believed and died for his cause. When we know and understand who Christ is and how He impacts every aspect of our daily lives, we will come to realise that there is no one or anything more important to us than He is. We have the assurance that we belong to Christ and He belongs to God. We are His when we accept and trust in him by faith through his grace. We have forgiveness of sin, sealed by His Holy Spirit and become joint-heirs of His rich inheritance and will have eternity with him when He comes back to take us home. Let us not glory in men, but in God and in Christ, as we continue to grow in His grace by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Let us be humble and obedient as Christ was to the Father; because we belong to him, as unto God. If Christ belongs to God, we too belongs to God, for we come to God through Christ.

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...

 '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 ...
