 'Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth' (Psalm
124:8).

It is important to note who God is. He is Elohim, our Creator, Sustainer and Judge. He is our Provider, Protector Deliverer, and our Comforter. The three in one concept of a loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit working in unity for the good of humanity. The Psalmist says, "Our help is in the name of the Lord..." Can you imagine! If it wasn't for the Lord on our side, where would we be, what would be our end? When we feel overwhelmed, distressed,  or going through trying and difficult times turn to Yahweh our Deliverer and help; the Self-sufficient and eternal God. The Lord who is our help will strengthen and sustain us by His power, in our difficulties. There is tremendous power in the name of Jesus, the maker of heaven and earth, and our help comes in his name. In the name of Jesus we can do all things. His power is beyond anything we could ever imagine. If you're feel unsafe, threatened, despondent anxious or in danger, just call out the name of Jesus and He will help and deliver you. He is our Strong Tower where the righteous can run to and be saved. The Lord never go back on His promises and will faithfully preserve his chosen people. He did it for Israel and He will do it for us, who has believed in Him. When we trust in the Lord, we will experience His loving care, even amidst the snares of the Devil and we can rest assured in His loving arms that he will take care of us. Let us put our trust and confidence in the name of the Lord, because He is our  salvation and our help comes from Him only. He will do more for us than we are able to ask or think, because He is our Creator and there is power in His name. Let us be thankful and praise the name of the Lord who has not left us as prey to our enemies but has rescued us and set us free from the bondage of death, as we experience his mercy and grace. Let us trust the Lord for the future as we express confidence in His ability to help us.

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...

'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...

 '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 ...
