 '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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

Devotional - 14th July 2020

'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...
