 'In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death'
(Proverbs 12:28).

Righteousness is of God and is only attained by our faith through Jesus Christ. There is no condemnation for all who are in Christ Jesus. Therefore we need to trust in Christ our Saviour, who is the resurrection and the life. In Him we will never experienced eternal death, if we follow the footsteps of Christ. All who believe in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life. We all have choices in life as well as,  the path we choose to take. Let us choose wisely to follow Jesus all the way, that we may live; not only in this life but in the next with Jesus. We cannot earn righteousness in our own strength, but being justified before God, entitle us for eternal life, as we are justified by His righteousness. When we walk out of the path of  Christ, we enter into danger zone and can easily miss our chances of the pathway to eternity. In the way of righteousness, there is no death. Meaning, all of us  as sinners are appointed to die because of sin. Those who died in Christ will not experience  the second death, because Christ took that death for us at Calvary, that we may have eternal life. Some people may be physically alive but spiritually dead, and when Christ return they will die forever. Let us seek God and make the right choices for our salvation. We should pupose in our heart to walk in the way of righteousness, living by faith that we may enjoy a joyous life in Christ and eternity with him. Through Christ, the way of righteousness is life and there is no death. Choose Christ and live!

Have wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 '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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 '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...
