 'For thou art my rock and fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me' (Psalm 31:3).

Jehovah is our rock and fortress, and in him is our protection. Without Him we are absolutely nothing. In our difficulties we call upon the name  of Jesus, because there is no safety and security outside of Him. He alone is our very present help in the time of trouble. We can always run to Christ, who is our rock. We must understand that not because we are children of God, we think we are  exempt from any difficulties and dangers that may come upon us. But He did promised he would be with us through these difficult times and that is grace is sufficient for us. We should praise Him everyday; make him our first priority as we give him honour and total praise. Let us pray to the Lord to lead and guide us. We should delight and meditate upon Him in each waking moments, knowing Christ is our portion, and of such, we have the privilege to pray even in tough times. Like David, who was able to claim that God was his rock and submit to his perfect leading. We too can seek those  claims as our hope and confidence in the Lord increase. Let it be our desire for the Lord to lead us in the way of truth and path of righteousness, as we stand on the His Word; to guide us by the His Spirit, so we might walk upright. Anyone who is not wrapped up in Christ, is capable of losing their soul. Today I called you to come to Jesus and allow him to purge you from your sins and He will  remember  them no more for his name's sake. Trust God and let him lead and guide you for his name's  sake. Don't lose out on eternity with Christ.

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...

'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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
