 'But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer' (1 Peter 4:7).

Earth's history is drawing to a close as the Second Coming of Jesus gets nearer. Since the fall of man, many important events have taken place including the coming of the Messiah to save mankind. He lived, died, was resurrected and went back to His Father to be our High Priest and Judge, as was prophesied throughout the Bible. He is doing a wonderful work of intercession for us in heaven and is soon to return. He will give everyone His just reward and vindicate his faithful ones. How then ought we  to respond, amidst all the chaos in the world right now and knowing the end is in sight? Peter is saying to us as he did 2000 years ago, "Be therefore sober and watch unto prayer." All who believe and have faith in Christ as the Saviour of the world, will understand there is no need for worry or fear, because God is still in control. We should be mindful how we live our lives and how we treat one another. We through the power of the Holy Spirit, should be Christ-centred; Christ-focused and seek to have the mind of Christ. We must humble ourselves and seek to have the attitude of Christ amidst his suffering, while he was on earth. We must love each other and use all the gifts and talents God has given us to serve one another. Now is not the time to do our own thing and seek our own pleasures. But to be alert and stay focus, having a clear minds that will enable us to pray earnestly and with sincerity of heart in these end times. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Therefore, let us rejoice as we share in Christ's suffering and do all we can to help others through the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring glory and honour to God. Yes, Jesus is soon to come, let us be watchful, be sober and be ready for all that is yet to come. We will endure sufferings and humiliation,  persecution for Christ; but by faith in Him and the blessed hope of His coming, we shall overcome, because Christ has given us the victory. Let us pray without ceasing as we prepare our heart and soul for the difficult days ahead until Jesus comes.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 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 ...
