 'But he that doeth wrong shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ'
(Colossians 3:25).

We are admonished to have allegiance to the true and living God, the Creator of the heavens and earth. For if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. You cannot serve two masters, you'll love one and hate the other. Therefore, make Christ Jesus your Master today. As believers, when we seek to carry out good work in spirit and truth, God has promised to reward us, not because we deserve it, but by his grace He choose to give us. if it is through our own power we seek such reward, we shall suffer loss. In the verse Paul was speaking to those who were servants or perhaps slave and how they ought to conduct themselves. However, it speaks to each of us who is a child of God and find ourselves in service to another person. No matter the difficult situation we might encountered or find ourselves in, we must always choose a life that honours God. We see in 2 Kings 5, the story of the little maid, who was taken from her homeland and family as a slave, to wait on Naaman's wife. She lived a life which testified of and glorified God which led to her Master being cured of leprosy. So whether we live a life of service or servitude to another person, our life should exemplify Christ. Our attitude and behaviour should be the epitome of the God we serve. We must serve others and God with sincerity of heart and in fear of the Lord. Let us seek to live our lives as unto the Lord. He is the One who saves us by faith, that we may become heirs of God and joint heirs with  Christ. No matter our circumstances, let us through the power of the Holy Spirit be faithful to God, that we will receive the reward of the promise inheritance, because it is Christ the Lord we are serving.

Have a wonderful day

 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 ...
