 '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

Devotional - 03rd Jan 2022

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
