 'Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day' ( 1 King 8:61).

How can our heart be perfect with the Lord? We have to be sincere in our love for God; be in oneness as we worship him and consistent in our obedience to him. We should have a zeal for God and the work He wants to accomplish in us. We ought to come in His presence each day in prayers of gratitude. It is important to thank the Lord for the blessings He has bestow upon us each day and to express our gratitude for what He has done for us on Calvary. We should seek to devote  ourselves completely to the Lord, as we walk in His statues and keep his commandments, as did King Solomon and the people of Israel in that day. Look to Jesus, and let not your heart be troubled or dismayed, but trust fully on the name of the Lord. We are in a crisis and many people are confused, leaders don't know what to do, but our Sovereign God still has control over the whole situation. Therefore we have nothing to worry about! Just give God thanks for keeping us safely through these trying times. Just as Israel's purpose was to be a blessing to the nations around, and draw them to God. We too are here that God can bless the world through us believers. Let us pray without ceasing, claiming all the promises of God and praising God for the past fulfilment of his promises. Let us work with God, be co-labourers with him to bring lost souls to him, so they can enjoy his peace and eternity with him when Jesus comes. I beseech you to let your heart be wholly devoted to God, to live by his decree and to be obedient unto him. Like King Solomon's charged to the people of Israel to be perfect with God and walk in His ways. Let us purpose in our hearts to do the same and receive the blessings God wants to bestow on us.

Have a 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

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10). When we k
