 'But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand' (Isaiah 64:8).

We are God's masterpiece of creation; we were created fearfully and wonderfully in the image and likness of God. After sin we lost that image and likness of God. Adam was created in the image of God, but after he sinned, his children were born in his image. It took the Son of God, through his redeeming blood to restore us to God's image. As sinners can only attain to righteousness of Christ, as our righteousness is as filthy rags.  As we continue to sin and commit iniquity, it is only God's mercy towards us that prevent us from being consumed. Israel rebelled and disobeyed God, they turned their backs on God and wandered far from him. But as Isaiah, the prophet of God looked back on what God had done for them; His continuous love, his mercy towards them, his patience and longsuffering. He appealed to God on their behalf, as he uttered the words, "But now, O Lord, though art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we are the work of thy hand." We too  have sinned and committed iniquity. We have rebelled and disobeyed God. Let us look to our wonderful and loving God, who is ever patient and longsuffering towards us, and cry out to him as we confess our sins and fool-hardiness. Some have strayed from God, leaving their first love. God is calling you back to him, no matter how far you have wandered from him. Will you not heed the call today? He is willing to hear and listen to you and to save you. He wants to be your Potter, to mold you and put you back to together; to restore you to his image again. Reflect on all God has done for you in the past and petition his throne of grace, confessing your sins and turning away them; also turn away from your  pride and foolish path. Let all of God's people, all believers from every corner of the earth, open their hearts and draw closer to God. Let us humble ourselves and in submission, place ourselves in the Potter's hand. God is our Father,  we are the clay, He is our potter. Allow Him to melt, mold and and fashioned each of us, as He makes us into clean vessels for His kingdom. We can then rejoice and be glad that we are the works of his hand and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Jesus is coming soon, take a look at where you are with him.

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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

Devotional - 14th July 2020

'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...
