 '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 🌹🌹

 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 ...
