 'The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer' (1 Peter4:7).

Do you believe the end of all things is at hand? Peter wrote this over 2000 years ago connecting the end time with more fervent prayer. It is time to be ready for the coming of the Lord, we see the signs of the times and know we are in the end time. This is the time we see faith in action; sanctify yourself and die daily to self so you will be able to live unto God. That means seeking things that are above and letting go of pride, covetousness, selfishness, love of self, love of the world, jealousy, hatred and the list goes on. All these things must be subdued before Jesus comes. Seek not to murmur nor complain, be not fretful and worrisome, but look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. He is our hope and our peace. Be more earnest and disciplined in your prayers to God. Keep fervent in your love for one another, be hospitable to one another without complaint. Peter is saying to us, this is the time, more than ever to pray, and to be alert at all times. We must pray for strength to escape all that is taking place and will continue to take  place until the coming of Jesus. Don't be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and worries of life. But be sober for prayer lest we fall in love with this world and become spiritually dull, that the day of the Lord comes upon us like a thief in the night and we be destroyed. We need to pray without ceasing; every day and every hour that we might escaped the traps the devil sets for us. To pray that we will stand before the King of kings, and Lord of lords, the great I Am, for eternity when He returns. I am looking forward to that day. Are you?
Let us purpose in our hearts to all be there when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. Keep praying and believing the promises of God.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 '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...

 '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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
