 If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come' (Job 14:14).

The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. We know that because of sin, man will die. Nothing is more certain than death for all mankind, it was appointed by God. Jesus Christ, came to this earth  and died to save mankind and restore us to the image of God. When Christ died, he took the second death, that we wouldn't have to experience it, so we could enjoy eternal life with Him. We know that Jesus died and raised to life again and went to heaven to make intercession on our behalf with the Father, and is also the Judge of us all. We believe that He will return to take His faithful people home, but those who are unfaithful will experience the second death. The dead in Christ will rise from their graves at the call of their Saviour, then together with them, those who are still alive and remained on earth will be caught up into the clouds, changing from mortal to immortality to meet the Lord in the air, and be with the Lord for ever. Job is asking shall a man die and live again? In whatever state one shall die, that's the way he will come up at the resurrection. If you were in Christ before you die you will be in Christ when you are resurrected. If your were not in Christ when you died, you will be the same at his coming. So man can either live again in Christ as an immortal being or died forever at His coming, base on the choices he  had made while on earth. Let us by the grace of God seek to live for Christ through faith in him. To endure with patience our trials and sufferings until our change for better comes. Let our aims and desires be to live a righteous life through faith and trust in Christ, because we all shall have to stand before God some day, righteous and unrighteous (Acts 24:15). Be encouraged, that there is hope beyond the grave, if we are faithful to God. We have the choice of life eternal with Christ, will you choose Christ and life eternal today?

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...
