 '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

 '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

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
