 'Blessed is the people who know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance' (Psalm 89:15).

The purpose by which man was created was for God's pleasure and for them to glorify, honour and worship Him. As His creation, we would also have the pleasure of knowing Him. God is a creative Being and it gives him pleasure to have beings he can have a relationship with. All who are in  Heaven and earth should give homage to the true and living God. God's people are blessed when they hear the joyful call to worship, and will walk in the light of his presence. They will rejoice in His name all the day and exult His righteousness (verses 15,16). When you know God and build up that personal relationship with him, you will learn to rejoice in Him, to walk in fellowship and continuous communion with him. We rejoice when we experience God's favour in our lives, knowing we don't deserve it. All who have a relationship with God will not just hear the joyful sound, but will know it. Christ, our wonderful Saviour has atoned for our sins with his precious blood. He has given us the assurance that there is salvation for all who by faith believe in His blood and in obedience of him  us who died for us and is now in heaven interceding on our behalf.  The Sheep knows his master's voice and will only follow Him. Likewise, when we know the Saviour, we must be able to distinguish the joyful sound of the gospel from all other sound; and receive it by faith allowing it to penetrate the heart, as we become happy and enjoy the gracious presence of God. Let us be grateful for the favour God has granted us, that allow us to walk in light of his countenance. Let us learn to govern ourselves by His direction and allow Him to guide our steps each day; to keep rejoicing and to be an influence to others as we keep ourselves in His amazing 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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 '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 ...
