 'The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace'
(Psalm 29:11).

God the All-knowing One, knows all about our dealings, for there is nothing we can hide from him. He knows our thoughts and actions even before we know ourselves, yet He is willing to come to our rescue when we fall, or in difficulties situations. He  speaks to our hearts in different ways, in order to reach us. It may be through a close friend or family; by reading His Word; through prayer; through a song; and even through people we do not know. He also use the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to us and all we need to do is trust Him in good times and even more in difficulties times. God's love for us is so great, it cannot be measured. We don't deserve His love or favour but He gives them to us by His grace through our faith in Jesus Christ, His Son. God wants his children to trust and depend upon him, as their Creator, Sustainer, Defender and Deliverer. We have the confidence to trust Him with our tomorrows, because of what He did with our yesterdays. He will strengthen us in our weaknesses and grant us peace to refresh and renew our spirit, as we hope in him. Every believer must seek God  daily and come before His presence with humbleness of heart. He is All-Powerful and All-Mighty God and his strength will bring us protection, joy, mercy and hope. There is absolutely nothing too hard for God to handle. He loves  and knows his people and they ought love him and seek earnestly to know Him. They should trust in His power to look after and save then by faith, because they believe that  He is their strength. Let us as believers, seek the Lord daily and trust in him. Let us allow Him to have full access to our heart that we can experience His sweet and precious peace, and to enjoy sweet fellowship with Him. No matter how raging the storm may be, you can safely trust and abide in His love and have confidence in the truth of His Word. With joy all who believe can proclaim that the Lord is their strength and their peace. He promises to give strength unto his people and will bless them with peace. May we learn to trust in the Lord and believe He is able.

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...

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...
