Devotional - 20th Apr 2021

 'Watch, ye therefore, and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man' (Luke 21:36).

Perilous times are coming upon this earth, and God's faithful children should be in the habit of being 'watchful and praying always.' We need to put on the whole armour of God that we may be able to withstand the wiles of the devil. We must be in the habit of speaking to God daily about our souls and that by His grace we may be accounted worthy to escape all that shall come upon us, and be able to stand before the Christ our Judge. Jesus whilst on earth, never cease to pray. Early in the morning, before the break of day, he would be in communion
 with the Father, so he would be strengthen and ready for the work He had to accomplish. We are to be like Christ, spending much time in prayer and submitting our will to His will, that we may be accounted worthy to escape all that is to come. Praying brings spiritual strength to maintain alertness. And Jesus is imploring us to watch and pray always. We should not be discouraged if our prayers seemed not to be answered. Know that God hears and answers our prayers in His time. It is the Holy Spirit who makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. All we need to do is to come to God with a sincere heart.  As the Holy Spirit works with us, our hearts will then be transformed by the love of God. As Christ manifested that submissive spirit whenever he came to the Father in prayer, let us endeavour to do the same, coming to Him with a broken and contrite heart, watching and praying, so it will be acceptable to God. Jesus is soon to come, let us get ready to meet him.

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 ...
