 'Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else'
(Deuteronomy 4:39).

The Lord is indeed God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other. We ought to be faithful and true to God, who is ever worthy of our praise. We need to consider this important truth about God and keep  it fixed in our hearts continuously. The Lord owns the heaven and the earth and does what he  pleases with them. We rejoice to know heaven is  the Lord's dwelling place and earth his footstool; we are His creatures and are under his authority. Our obedience to God cannot merit salvation since it is a precious gift from Him. But it does lead us to be recipients of this free gift, which is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Only as we become obedient,  believing and trusting in Jesus by faith that we receive the gift of salvation. God's love for us demonstrate His great and mighty power and his goodness towards us. And will lead Him to protect and deliver his people, who trust and obey him. He is the God of the heaven and the earth and there is no one else. Let us consider this truth and keep it in our hearts. As we seek to know the truth about God, let us consider and and apply them to our daily lives. Let us in our communion with the Father, through Jesus Christ His Son, study the Word of God and pray daily. Let us acknowledge His Sovereignty and that He alone is God, the only true and wise God, of whom there is no other. We ought to give Him the highest praise as we recognised his infinite power and grace; the All-sufficient God who cares and provides for our needs.

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
