 '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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever.

'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...
