 '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 🌹🌹

 '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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
