 'Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest' (Joshua 2:9).

After the death of Moses, the Lord God encouraged and command Joshua to be courageous and not be afraid or dismayed, because He would be with him wherever he went. He would be there for with him, as he lead the Children of Israel into the Promises Land. When we trust in the Lord and His Word, we will realised  that His commands are not impossible, because with God all things are possible. Just as the Lord commanded Joshua  to be strong and courageous, we too are admonished to do likewise and the Lord will strengthen our hearts and be with us. We are to simply place our trust in God, and not our own courage and strength, because the arm of flesh will fail us. That is, we are to draw strength from the Lord and not depend on our own thoughts, or strength at anytime. Like Joshua, those who are in leadership are reminded by the Lord, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous..." We are to allow God to saturate our lives with the truth of His Word; to learn to meditate upon His promises and to trust His Word. We ought to accept that God is with us, and strive to work with him through every aspect of our lives and nestled into His amazing love. As believers we are to immerse ourselves in the Word of God, learn to meditate, pray and have a  deep trust in the Word of truth. God is all- powerful, and is our only strength. His strenth is  made perfect in our weakness. Like Joshua, let us trust the Word of God and act upon it. We must always seek to know His truth. We ought to follow God's instructions in His Word, believe and stand firm in faith and the Lord promised to be with us wherever we go. His grace is All-sufficient and is able to aid you when you call upon his name.

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 ...
