 'Ye are blessed of the Lord which made the heaven and the earth'
(Psalm 115:15).

There is a Creator who made the heaven and earth and all that is therein - God. Some people may doubt there is a God,  but He is real and the only true and living God. He is our Protector, Provider and Defender who save us  through the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ. He blesses and brings relieve to all our situations and sufferings. Is nature is to bless, both temporal and spiritual; and delights in blessing his children who fear Him. God blesses everyone upon this earth with temporal blessings, but spiritual blessings, He bestows upon those who chose to obey Him and believe on Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour from sin. We are blessed spiritually when we know the Lord, and our sins are pardoned by him; When we are justified by the righteousness of Christ, becoming heir of God and joint heir with Christ; we are become highly favoured and blessed of the Lord. We ought to trust God completely and have confidence in His ability to save us from the utmost. We must submit our will to His and make Him centre of our lives. We do not need an outward emblem of stone, nor wood, nor animals to worship as our God, because God is a spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. We need nothing to take the place of God in our lives. These gods cannot see, hear, speak or touch or smell. But God has eyes and sees all things; He has a mouth to speak and speaks everywhere; He has ears to hear us when we call and hands to reach out and comfort us. "His hand is not shortened that it cannot save, nor his ears heavy that it cannot hear"
(Isaiah 59:1). Our God is is a living God who reigns in heaven and earth. He is All-Wise, All-Powerful and Ever-Present and will bless all those who fear Him. Let us take time to appreciate and reflect on the God of the heaven and the earth; to have confidence in who He is and believe in Jesus our Lord and submit our will to the power of the Holy Spirit, knowing that He who has promised to bless will do so bountifully and even extend those blessings to our children.

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...

 '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 ...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
