 'Therfore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the son of man cometh' (Matthew 24:44).

We are warned by Christ himself to watch, for we know not the hour the Lord will come. We ought to be in readiness for the Coming of Christ, that we will be not caught unawares. It must be our desire to watch and pray; to study and hear the Word of God; confess that Christ is Lord;  suffer for Christ's sake and in the process bring others to him. We must trust and have faith in Christ and be able to give a reason the hope that is in us through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let us heed the call to be ready, because in such an hour as we think not, the son of man cometh. Christ warned the Jews that there will be a time when he will be there no more. They will not know the exact moment of Christ's  return, except for the Father, therefore they ought to be ready. We too do will not know that moment either of the coming of Jesus, but we are to live each day as if any moment He will appear. As believers and followers of Christ, we should aim to live in a state of readiness and watchfulness as Jesus will come as a thief in the night. Everyone knows that Jesus is coming back, but some will continue daily to do their own thing ignoring the warnings of God. However, we who trust in the Lord and abide in Him and his Word, should live faithfully to him as we await Christ's Second Coming. It behoves us to be ready at all times and be on our guard, for in such and  hour when we least expect he will come and vindicate his people and take them home with him for eternity. Isn't that amazing!

Have a wonderful da

 '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

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10). When we k
