Devotional - 04th May 2021

 
The Lord our God is merciful and hears the cries of the needy. All who call upon Him with sincerity of heart, he will hear. A haughty and a proud heart the Lord will not hear, but of those with a humble and contrite heart he will hear. In our distress and times of need the Lord will not abandon us, but will help, sustain and deliver us. David call upon the Lord to deliver him from the oppression of his enemies and to deal with them on his behalf. We too can do the same and God will certainly hear and answer. We need to come to God in humility as we seek his face and commune with him with our prayers and supplications. As we see the works of the Lord, we will rejoice, and in so doing others can be encouraged and come to know the God we serve. We can only seek God through Christ, where we can find him. We can only come to God through Christ. As believers, we will encounter hardships and cruelty; adversaries and persecutions because of our fidelity to God. However, when we put our trust and confidence in Him, humble ourselves before his presence, he will revive and strengthen us as we rejoice in our trials. We have to experience Christ in our lives and trust in Him to help us through times of persecutions and troublesome times. Giving thanks and praise to God in these times will strengthen us and will encourage others going through similar situations  to totally put their trust in God and be revived. When we humble ourselves and see the salvation of the Lord, we will rejoice and be glad; we will live because we humbly seek God.  When the poor and needy, who trusts in the Lord, as we do, see how God has delivered us from our enemies, they will be encouraged and rejoice in Him. Let us in our struggles and difficulties humble ourselves, rejoice  and seek God that we may live.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

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 - 03rd Jan 2022

 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...
