 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress, or persecutions, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?'
 (Romans 8:35).

It is a wonderful thing to know, that if we trust God and believe in His Son Jesus, nothing shall separate us from His love. Paul is urging us to understand that though sufferings continue, God is still with us and will see us through. There is nothing we do that keep Christ from loving us. He does  love us with an everlasting love, regardless of trials or tribulation. He is there through those trials, afflictions; our needs whether it be physical, spiritual and emotional; persecution for our faith in Christ. None of these things, can separate us from Christ's love. All believers who aspired to be in Christ, and have been saved by their faith are encouraged of God's great love for us, and feel secured before him. We have the confidence that God is for us, he loves us, even as we abide in Christ. Paul asked the question, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Nothing or no one can separate us from the love of Christ." God will not leave us  because he loves us and send His Son Jesus to die for us. Christ not only died, but rose again and is at the right hand of His Father, interceding for us. We ought to give God thanks
and praise that Christ is alive and loving us. There is nothing that can truly separate us from Christ, but protect us from any separation. Let us ponder and reflect on these words from Paul, "shall tribulation or distress, or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?" No, not one of these can separate us from the love of Christ. Let us allow God to use us for his purpose and will.

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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
