 'For the Lord is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king'
(Psalm 89:18).

Everything on the earth belongs to God and  he is greatly exalted. He is our defense and our protection comes from Him. He raised up kings on the earth to rule nations, but the Lord Jesus, our Saviour is the King of all kings. The God of Israel is both our Ruler and our Defense and we ought to acknowledge Him as our King. He is holy and righteous with a flawless and perfect character. We can surely trust Him, whose promises are sure. He is not a God who can lie because He is sinless and full of truth and justice. We are truely bless to be able to call upon the Lord at anytime and acknowledge him as our God for ever. We are God's creative beings and  should reverence and hold Him in high esteem, because of His holiness. We should rejoice in His name all the day and in his righteousness shall we be exalted. He is our Defense and the Holy One of Israel, who is the legal King of the earth. The Lord our God shall be our strength in our trials and afflictions. Let us therefore, turn to the Lord our God and reverence Him. Let us learn to walk in the light of the Lord and basked in His comfort and favour as we seek to keep ourselves wrapped up in His amazing love. Come all who believe in the Saviour Jesus Christ, be exceedingly joyful and rejoice in Him for evermore as we hope in him. The Lord is indeed our Defense and High Tower, and is all we need to survive in our times of trials and afflictions. Today lift Jesus higher and rejoice in Him, he will never fail us.

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 ...
