 'He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk, even as he walked' ( 1 John 2:6).

If we claim  to be children of God, we must live as Christ did, and if we say Christ abides in us, we ought to walk as he also did. As a believer in Christ, we should grow to act more and more like Him, and seek to have a fellowship relationship with him. We all have sinned, but as a true believers of Christ, we should come confessing our sins, to the One who is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all our unrighteousness. Let us love God and hate the things of the world, that cannot help or save us. Christ is the living Vine and we are the branches, we are called to abide in Him. As we draw from the true and living Vine, we can say and do things that will please God, our Father. Let us all aspire as believers to be like Christ, live and walk as he did, in total dependence upon God. It is in our living and walking, that we will be able to experience the fulness of God. Without Christ in our lives, we can do nothing; without His life flowing through us as Living water, we are like the barren desert that lies desolate. We need the flowing Water of life, Christ Jesus, to quench our thirsty soul and keep us alive. Therefore, it is very important to abide in Christ and He in us, so we can walk in the ways of faith and responds to His loving call for us to walk in spirit and truth.  Every Christian should know, that we are called  to abide in Christ; and the one who says, "he abides in Him ought himself to walk as he walked.'  Let us seek to abide in Christ, rest in His love, walk in His ways to bring forth much fruit to His praise and glory.

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
