 'As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me' (Psalm 55:16).

Everyone experience some sort of trials and difficulties at intervals during their lifetime. Some more than others. But for all who call upon the name of the Lord, He has promised to save them. We live in a world where we see the hearts of men are even more  cold and evil than generations gone by. People are killed for what they possess, innocent children and women been violently abused and murdered; Christians being persecuted for their faith, and the list is endless. Many people live in fear of their lives, even those of faith. But as believers, we should trust in the Eternal God, who is willing to fight our battles for us. He is our Deliverer and Refuge in times of trouble and afflictions, and has promised to save us. Like David, many of you have been betrayed by people you loved and trusted. You may have felt overwhelmed and distraught and heartbroken, having a feeling of helpless where you don't know which way to turn. Some of you may have gone through trials, sufferings and persecutions because you fell in love with Jesus. But I say to you, "Be of good courage, call upon the Lord and he will strengthen your heart. As believers we can trust no other but Jesus who is the Source of our salvation, and be confident that our God  will not let the wicked go unpunished. When we have a deep relationship with God, we will know him personally and be confident in His ability to to deliver us and save us through Jesus Christ. God sees your pain and heartache, your sufferings and the  injustice done to you and is saying to you "be still and watch the salvation of the Lord." Let us pray fervently, lifting up our hearts to God, committing our will to Him, who is able to keep us from falling. Just as we take care to feed our physical body daily, let us take the same care to feed our soul spiritually. We should begin the day with God and in the evening close with Him, and throughout the day as we see fit converse with our heavenly Father, through Scriptures and prayers. This continous practice will help to strengthen and give us the assurance and confidence to call upon God at all times, in the good and not so good times. Let us learn to trust God more and be confident in the Saviour's love.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 '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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
