Devotional - 30th Apr 2021

 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved' (Psalm 55:22).

God is faithful now as he was in the past and has never failed us, because He loves us more then we can imagine. His love is so great, that He came down from heaven in the form of His Son Jesus Christ to die for us, sinful beings. Therefore, in all of our sticky situations and our messed up lives, He proves time and time again that we can rely upon him. No matter what we are going through, it is not too much for God to bear, because there is nothing too hard for him. We are living in dangerous and trying times where people are experiencing anxieties, depression and some have become hopeless and ready to give up as they cannot see beyond, in all that's happening. Some people have rejected God, whilst some have a problem with Jesus our Saviour being God. Whatever the situation, God's love never changes and He is gentle calling us to cast our cares upon him for He will sustain us. Let us learn to commit our ways   unto the Lord and trust him, who is able to bring them to pass (Psalm 37:5). David betrayed by his friend became overwhelmed by his troubles; overcame by grief and was deeply emotional and distress with all that was going on. So it is with many believers today who are experiencing challenging and difficult times. But as David took a moment to see the bigger picture, with confidence he turned his eyes on the Lord and cast his burden on him, knowing He would sustain and take care of him. We too ought to take our eyes off the problems we are facing and turn them over  to the Saviour, who can solved all our problems. We have a friend in Jesus, who is waiting to hear from us and will never suffer the righteous to be shaken. Each one of us has to know the Saviour for ourself. You have to trust in him and believe He will sustain you through all your difficulties, sufferings and pain. The hearts of men have become callous and hard-hearted - evil. We see leaders sacrificing the lives of their people for power and children and women being the victimised by cold-hearted men; a pandemic which is raging   war upon us all, amidst natural and man-made disasters. But we are reminded! Yes, we are reminded not to fear, for the Lord our God is with us, his presence is all around and his eyes are on us. It is time for Jesus to come.  So, all we need to do is to trust in Him and cast our cares upon him for He cares for us and will sustain and strengthen us. Let us, "take no thought of our life, what we should eat, or what we should drink; nor yet for your body, what you should put on. Is not life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"
(Matthew 6:25).  God will take care of our needs and sustain us, so if we trust in him, we will have no need to worry or fear.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

 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...

 '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...
