 'For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God' (Hebrews 3:4).

Jesus Christ is the greatest man to ever walked this earth. He being the Son of God, was appointed by God to come down and be the Saviour for man. In other words, It was God himself in the form of his Son, who came to rescue man from sin and death, by dying for them. Christ was faithful to God from beginning to end. He is not only our Master Teacher; our Master Healer, but He is our Master Builder, who built everything. Every house that is built has a builder, and the builder is greater than the house because he built it. How much more then, should Jesus not be greater than us, who is  our Creator and  Builder of our lives? We are God's workmanship, His masterpiece and he has created us anew in Christ, so we can do the good things he planned for us before hand (Ephesians 2:10). Jesus created the world both visible and invisible. He is the Word that became flesh and dwell amongst us; by whom all things were made, and was the fulfilment of all things. He was the Author and Finisher of our faith. He was indeed God, but  became the incarnate Son of God to free us from sin. Therefore, we should have confidence in following Him and trusting in His promises. Even though Moses was a powerful and faithful servant of God, he was not superior to Christ who was also the Builder of his life. It was Christ who made an offering of Himself once and for all to atone for our sins. He is worthy of our worship and allegiance. We should believe on Him and give our hearts to him, accepting His sacrifice for our sin. It is only through Him we can gain everlasting life. Moses was used by God to deliver His people from Egypt and to build-up the physical house of Israel; but it is God who is the true Builder and Maker. The spiritual house of God is being built-up daily by Christ, and all those who believe in him are built as living stones into God's spiritual house. Let us ever trust in the living God, learn to conduct ourselves orderly and graciously in the household of God. We are all one body, but many members in Christ. Let us be thankful to God, that by His grace through our faith in Christ, we are become living stones built up by Him in his spiritual house. Look to Jesus today, only He can save us.

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 ...
