 'And above all things have fervent  charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover a multitude of sins' (1 Peter 4;8).

Love is of God, because God is love. We should love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sin. That is, we should seek to strengthen each other and hope to sweeten their sins with our outpouring of love. When we truly love God and one another,  it will be difficult to sin against God and each other. Peter is admonishing us as Christians to work hard at loving one another. Knowing that Christ is about to come, should motivate us to fervently love each other. We must not be too hard on ourselves, because we are not perfect, it is only through Christ that we can be. There is a war of good and evil raging within us. When we tried to do good, evil present itself. It is only Christ who works in us to will and do His good works, that enable us his grace to overcome the sin in our life. And above all, everything we do, let us have fervent love among ourselves. Having love for each other includes; forgiving each other, to overlook past hurt caused by others and learning to build each other up when we fall. Love is one of the greatest gift of the fruit of the Spirit, from which all other gifts grow. It is only as we abide in Christ and He in us, that we can love as Christ loved,  allowing His love to flow through us to others. When our sins are covered we can experience God's grace and perfect peace. Let us reflect on God's tender-heartednes and forgivenes, His compassion, his mercy, and having a heartfelt love for one another. This will be pleasing to God!

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
