 'But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us'
(Ephesians 2:4).

We can never fathom the depth of God's love for us. His love is infinite and we are finite. Every since man fall, God has given every evidence of His love and care; and we often fail to recognise His divine hand in our manifold blessings. God has endowed upon us everything we need to add comfort and happiness to our lives, because of His great love for us. When we accept God's precious gift of salvation - Jesus Christ, His Son, we have the privilege to become His children and be apart of His royal family. For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). Without Christ we can do nothing, but through faith in Him, we  have the privilege to accept God's gift of salvation. When we become born- again believers, it means we accept Christ and his atoning sacrifice for our sins, which had separated us from God. We now become changed by God's mercy and love. His mercy, because we do not deserve his gift of salvation, but it is only on the basis of his mercy and through our faith that we are forgiven; and our acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord. His great love for us enables us this salvation, its nothing we have done. He is love, and expresses his love by saving us from our sin. God's immeasurable love is so wide, so high and so abundantly deep, it is incalculable. He demonstrated His love towards us by means of His grace and mercy; equipping us through His Son for our eternal salvation. Let us seek to reflect on the richness of God's mercy and his infinite love, as we contemplate the Cross and what Christ did for us. For though we were dead because of our sins, God gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. What manner of love God has bestow upon us, His sons and daughters! Let us thank God for his grace that saved us and for his gift of salvation, through Jesus Christ.  Let us give thanks to Him, that he is the  God of love and rich in mercy.

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...

 '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 ...
