 'And if any man hear my words, and believeth not, I will judge him not: for I came not to Judge the world, but to save the world' (John 12:47).

Jesus came on this earth to eradicate sin and set us free from its curse. He came as our Saviour and to give us hope - he is our only hope. Those who hear of Him and believe and accept him by faith, as their Saviour shall be saved, resulting in eternal life at His Second Coming. Those who do not accept Him by faith cannot be save (John3:36).  It is only through Jesus that we can come to the Father. Whatever Christ says and  do signify the very words and will of God the Father. Jesus is reminding us in John 12:46 that, His purpose at  His First Coming is to save us, not to judge, accuse or condemn us; even those who didn't believe on Him or for those who wilfully despise Him. His death and resurrection offers us salvation, restoration and eternity with Him; but we too have a responsibility. We have to  play our part by accepting Jesus, as the Son of God by faith, in order to be saved. Anyone who choose not to accept Jesus, is in darkness and in danger of eternal death, when He returns. He came to save us, to restore and reconciled us back to the Father, not to judge us. However, when He returns the second time, there will be no offer of forgiveness, or repentance, but He will be the Judge of the world, coming back with His reward. Those who accept Him by faith as their Saviour and Redeemer will receive eternal life. Those who rejected Him with eternal damnation. Today as you hear the words spoken by Jesus Himself, harden not your heart, but take heed and accept the Saviour of the world and the blessed hope He brings, as we enjoy eternity with Him.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 '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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...
