 '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🌹🌹

 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...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
