 'Who is he that over cometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God' (1 John 5:5).

When we put our trust on Jesus and have a saving relationship with him, we are born of God. Anyone who don't believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God is not born of God. All those who are born of God must believe by faith that Jesus is the Son of God, in order to be overcomers. This abiding faith and trust in Jesus is the life that overcomes all the temptations and tribulations, we face in this world. Simply put, John is saying, we overcome because of who we are in Christ and believing He is the Son of God for us. It was Jesus who overcame the world making it possible for us to do the same as we abide in Him. One song writer penned it this way, "Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! O, glorious victory, that overcomes the world. This faith we seek comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. We hear God speaking to us through His holy word; when we believe and trust the living Word of God, which testifies of Jesus and God's infinite love for a sinful people, it should motive us to stand in awe and worship God. It is our faith and belief in Jesus that makes us overcome the world, and the knowledge that He overcame it by his blood. As the Scriptures rightly testifies of Jesus and the Holy Spirit pierce our consciences and bear witness to our souls that it is this same Jesus, who is also God, came down to earth to save us by water and blood, from the fierce wrath of God and our sinfulness. It is our faith in the One who is faithful, that helps us to overcome the world, and bring us into union with the Son of God. It is our faith that makes us as He is, and for us to become partakers of His victory as overcomers. Let us trust in the Saviour, Jesus Christ and acknowledge him as the Son of God, so we can be partakers of His victory that overcomes the world.

Have a wonderful day and a bless 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...

 '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...

 'And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah' (Exodus 15:23). The Isralites were on a high after the Red Sea experience and their deliverance from slavery in Egypt and Pharaoh's army. The Lord led them this way become He wanted them to realise that He was their God, their Deliverer, and their Protector. The people  murmured against Moses and God, but the Lord showed them that He was still willing to guide and protect them and be their Healer, if they would look to Him. When they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters because they were bitter, so they murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink" (verse 24)? Sometimes  things happened to us in life, and we become very bitter and callous. It may be family issues; a friendship gone sour; conflicts; marriage broken down; sickness or even the death of a love one. But we need to guard against bitterness cree...
