 'He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son'
(Revelation 21:7).

If we desire to live a victorious life in Christ, we shall be overcomers.  Christ had won the victory on the cross; through his death and resurrection; and being our Judge and High Priest. God promised that all who are victorious will inherit all these blessings he has in store for us, and will be our God and we being his children. Every day we faced temptations and trials, but through Christ, as believers we can overcome them, by handing them over to Jesus. For greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John4:4). Satan knows he has been defeated and that he is doing everything in his power to carry out aggressive onslaught against all who  have been saved by the precious blood of the lamb. We know what Jesus Christ did for us at Calvary and has overcome the world, the flesh and Satan. Satan only has power when we give him control of our lives. Let Christ reigns in our lives and we give him full control of our heart, thoughts and attitudes. Trust Him and what he has done for us at Calvary. Christ had overcome the world and so can we, if we believe He is the Son of God and following his footsteps. It is only in Christ that we can be overcomers as our nature is to sin, we cannot do it in out own strength. We are co-labourers with Christ, heirs of God and joint-heir with Christ. We are united together in Him by faith. Let us seek to live a life of an overcomer, knowing our past, present and future victory is secure in Christ.

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 ...
