 'For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world'
(John 6:35).

Christ is the true and living bread and anyone who partakes of this bread shall live forever. He, the bread of life has given His life for all. When we believe on Him, we shall have everlasting life. Jesus said, "This is the bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever" (John 6: 58). The manna (bread of angels) which came down from God was heavenly bread, that typified and prefigured Christ, the true and living bread of God, coming down from the highest heaven to give life to us. Jesus speaking to the people back then, wanted them to understand that it is through faith and not works that eternal life is gained. The same principle applies to us  today, that it is by faith and not our deeds that is the source of salvation. We must believe on Christ through grace and by faith in order to inherit eternal life. For it is Christ, the bread of God, which came down from heaven that can save us. God the provider and giver, loves us and wants to save us. He provides the Bread for our sustenance and gives the  Bread for our salvation, for us to feed upon and gain eternal life. Christ giveth life unto the world, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, bond or free; from generation to generation. All we need to do is accept and believe on Him and hereby inherit eternal life. John 1:4 says, "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." We must appreciate Christ, the true bread, which was far greater than the manna God fed the Children of Israel with in the wilderness. This bread of God, gives and sustain spiritual life, while the manna sustained the physical life. It also leads us to eternal life, which the manna could not do; this bread was given to all the world, while the manna was for a specific nation. Let us trust and by faith believe on Christ, the true and living bread of God, who has the power to save us from our sins and lead us to life eternal.
Thank you God, for the living bread you provide for us, to sustain and give us life.

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...

'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...
