 'Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin' (Psalm 85:2).

In this life, we will not fully understand the theme of redemption, but will certainly understand more in the hereafter, as the redeemed of God. It behoves us to comprehend the atoning sacrifice and meditorial work of Christ, our incarnate God. This will give us great insight of the love of God for His people and his plan to redeem us and restore us to our rightful position. We all have a sin problem which separated us from God, and it is through the atoning blood of Christ that we can be reconciled back to Him. God is merciful and forgiving. It is through Jesus that our sins can be pardoned. He paid it all for us on Calvary as sin had left a crimson stain on us - on our hearts, and it was Jesus's blood that washed it white as snow. Know this, that when you come to God confessing your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all those sins. Israel angered God time and time again, as a result He allow them to go in captivity. When they cry out to Him earnestly and sincerely, asking for pardon, He hears them and forgives their sins and iniquities. He took their iniquities away from their conscience, by the blood of the lamb and covers those sins that it no longer comes into judgement. God is always in the business of saving His people, and is doing it for us right now. When we transgress against God our sins and iniquity deserve punishment - we should pay for the consequences of those sin. But when we call upon Jesus, our Saviour, Redeemer and High Priest to forgive us of our sins; He plead His precious blood to the Father on our behalf and  we are pardon and forgiven, because God is merciful and His mercy endures forever. It is only God who can forgive the iniquity of His people and atone for our sins through the blood of Jesus; that even His omniscience eye see it no more because the vail of His love covers all. What an awesome God we serve! He not only covers our sins, but He cures us and removes our sins altogether. Let us ask God to forgive our iniquity and cover all our sins and to help us to make it into His kingdom.

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
