 'I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me'
(Proverbs 8:17).

The Lord our God loves all his children and his wisdom supersedes all other wisdom. He especially love those who are his own, who love and seek after him with their hearts. In the same way He allude to the fact that, he will honour those who honour him, and those that despise Him shall be lightly esteemed (1 Samuel 2:30). Jesus's love is incomparable, selfless and Sacrificial. His love for us was his death on the cross, to give us freedom from sin and save us. God wants us to respond to His infinite love and seek him with all our hearts. He promised when we do so, that we shall find him. Jesus is the source of true wisdom and is calling out to lost humanity to come to him as we are. He will mold us, fashioned us, make and remake us into who He wants us to be, to bring glory to God. Let us seek that godly wisdom Christ offers us, by allowing the Holy Spirit to work fully and completely with us. When we know Christ and have a knowledge of him, we will love and believe in him by faith as our Saviour from sin, but also as the incarnate Son of God. We will have a sincere heart open towards Him, bursting with so much love for him. We will seek an earnest desire after His presence and will delight ourselves in him. He will love those who truly love him! It doesn't mean that He begins to love his people when they love him, because He loved them before the foundation of the earth and died to save them. His love is unconditional and eternal. He loved us before we love Him. When our love for Christ spring from His love for us, we will be assured of our love for him. Let us love the Lord and seek after his wisdom. Let us seek to find Him early; the first thing each morning seek Him. Put Him above all things and rejoice in Him as our Saviour. Search for Him with your whole heart and you shall surely find him.

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 ...
