 'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death'
(Proverbs 14:27).

The Bible teaches that, "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
(Romans 6:23).
Eternal life is connected to Jesus Christ, and when we accept him by faith and allow him, through the power of the Holy Spirit to live in us, eternal life is guaranteed. Christ is our life-giving fountain, therefore, He should be the object of our fear.  We should always be in awe when we think of Him and when we worship him, because of who he is. When we revere the Lord, and accept him as our Fountain of life it will enable us to depart from the snares of death, which sin brings. Christ is the living water that flows and all who partake  of it shall never thirst again, but shall be a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (See John 4:14)  Sin brought the sentence of death upon all of humanity, but Christ came and rescue us, by shedding his precious blood for all, allowing us a second chance to escape the snares of death - the second death which He took for us. We have a part to play in our salvation; we must accept God's grace by faith in his Son Jesus Christ. We need to fear the Lord, the fountain of life. It gives us security and strong confidence in Him. Let us be encouraged to live in the fear of the Lord, that we can receive His peace, his comfort and his purity. To be confident that His well will never run dry, because in it flows the Living water - Christ himself. He is inviting you and me to come and drink of this living water, where we will thirst no more, but will receive an abundance of comfort, joy, and serenity. This will be life to our souls and will help us fight against temptations and sin but will lead us to eternal life with Christ.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend🌹🌹

 '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...

 '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...

 '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 ...
