 'Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee'
(Deuteronomy 8:5).

King Solomon in Ecclesiastes 12:13 stated  cleary that, the duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. God is a loving Father, who provides, protects, comfort and strengthen us in our times of need. But He also disciplines His children for their own good. Just like a parent- child relationship where the parents will discipline their children because they love and want the best for them. So our heavenly Father, disciplines or chastens us, His children for our own good because He loves us. If we seek to listen and obey God's commandments by walking in his ways and fearing Him, then we will not be chastened. Right? God  is admonishing us through His Son Jesus Christ, to consider in our heart, that is, to think carefully or meditate upon what He is saying to us. He wants us to know that Him chastening us comes from a place of love and not done in wrath; because as our Father, he only wants what is best for us. Whom the Lord loves He will chastens. We must never forget what God has done for us in the past, that amidst adversities we can walk with confidence in our daily lives. God wants to teach us obedience and show us how we can trust him, as He guides and provides for us. Let us with humility and a teachable spirit be guided into God's truth by  feasting daily upon His Word as we allow the Holy Spirit to touch our hearts.

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...
