 'Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name' (1 Chronicles 29:13).

O, we thank you our God, with our hearts and hands and voices. Let us  lift you up and give you praise for the challenges, the setbacks, disappointments, the experiences of Covid-19 and other situations that came upon us, this year 2020.  Are you grateful for being alive? What about the opportunities the Lord has granted you? God's hand of mercy is still on us, His love knows no end when it comes to us. Are you grateful for that? He is still providing for your basic needs, He is places his protection around us if we allow him. He grant us his peace that transcends all understanding. Are you thankful to God for all his bountiful blessings? The more we profess gratitude, the more we will notice things to be grateful for. Have you realised that if it wasn't for God's grace we wouldn't be here today. Therefore lets give thanks to our Lord and be grateful for everything, good or bad. As we have all sinned and come short of God's glory, let us praise him for His pardon and forgiveness. When we come to Him, asking for pardon, He said, "Thy sin and iniquities will I remember no more." We must give God thanks for the righteousness of Jesus, Who alone can remove our unrighteousness, which is as filthy rags. We must thank God for His acceptance of us and his unmerited favour that we dont deserve. Reflect on all that happened this year and make a list of all that you're grateful for. How can you say thanks to God, for all He has done? As you allow the peace of God to rule in your heart, thankfulness will overflow. Even in the darkest of times, we can praise God for his love, his Sovereignty  and his promise to be near us when we need him. When we become thankful, our gratitude will spur us into action of love. For God's love, which endures for ever, his compassion that are new every morning and his faithfulness to us; we can say, "Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name." Let us show our gratitude to God and each other as we come to the close of another year.

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...

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...
